Blue Moon Camera and Machine just let me know that my 4x10" order has arrived. Well ahead of any other orders apparently, perhaps it was already in stock.

I find it fascinating that anyone else knows what arrangements my dealer has for receiving film. Is it possible that they will in fact be receiving some film themselves and that mine will be included...

Badger has a pretty good price which my local shop, Blue Moon Camera and Machine, matched on request. This is convenient for me (no shipping) and lets me support a local resource.

Michael, I see that participants are responsible for their own park entrance fees. Does the park require you to have a permit to conduct workshops there?

I managed 2 frames of TMax 400, which I then abused in Rodinal 1+100 for a couple of hours. Very sloppy timings but I can’t say I’m unhappy with the final results.

Good news. I saw these announced last month in Europe and I’m glad to see we’ll get them.

Vaughn, have you tried using the street address of your post office with your PO box number as the "Suite #"? That was a workaround we used in Skagway, Alaska.

Let us hope that they continue with the special order sale of unusual sizes for many years to come. At the moment, I would guess that to at least be delayed this year.

They have it listed on their website and it says ships in 24-48 hours. Is this maybe not true?

Jim, thanks for posting this.

Anybody here live there? I lived on SJI for about 6 years and I'll be making a photo trip up again in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

I’ve been using this power supply in my UV box for the last several years. Works like a charm.

Although the PhotoArtMag link now goes somewhere else, you can still read this article archived here: http://www.thecunninghampress.com/interview-austin-granger. Cheers!

Thank you, nice to hear in a place of so many great images.

I've just recently had a chance to print this one, taken a couple years ago.

Palladium on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, Ilford FP4+ 8x10, digital negative.

It’s matte, cotton rag and yes.

Peter have you printed a test chart at 720 and been able to resolve the details? For me, I find that 360 is the practical limit on transparency film and Hahnemuehle Platinum Rag paper. (QTR and Epson...

For platinum palladium, I print 16x16” and 16x20 on my Epson 3880.

I would look at the Toyo 45 CF.

There is still time before the show closes on November 2nd.

And to clarify a bit, it would be in the corners where you will first see any vignetting.

Here's an idea of what the show looks like. 29 prints in all.
It's really best to see them in person but you can view the digital versions at http://www.austingranger.com and find the prints at...

The question would be supersaturated at what temperature? Room temperature? Many use potassium oxalate significantly above room temperature. That said, I mix at 250g/l, warm to 90F, and develop for...

And also that QuadTone Rip (QTR) only supports Epson printers.

Everyone's a critic, but only you know what works for you. Some people prefer an all analog workflow, and I can't argue with that. But for me, a hybrid analog/digital workflow is ideal.

Hi Paul,
I made and used a digital negative for this print in this video.

Also beware of using generic lens caps. Modern lens caps often do not clear older lenses.

For anyone interested in the talk that Austin gave, we recorded it and it's now up as a YouTube video. Also available is an audio-only recording.
The show catalog containing all 60 images can be...

My longest lens is 360mm on 4x5, but 300 is more practical.

Does anyone have any updates from the last couple of years? I'd like to visit there in mid-March. Paul

Bob, on a tangent, using contact frames instead of vacuum frames?

I'd like to join in congratulating Austin on this milestone show. Admittedly I am collaborating on this project and perhaps a bit biased, but it is precisely because I have such respect for Austin's...

A question for those who know. Aside from a Fresnel, what makes a ground glass brighter or not? Is it the color of the glass or the fineness of the matte? Or something else?

Joshua Tree is one of the best places on earth, at least for me. I'm in desperate need of a trip to the desert, maybe this will be it. The timing looks pretty good.

Many good comments here. For my money, if I wanted to do something that hasn't been done _as often_ I would head east.

X-ray film is exposed by light, not x-rays. An x-ray machine uses x-rays to excite a light emitting substance which then exposes the film.

I know Ebony had at least two different Fresnels. One for most focal lengths and one for wide lenses.

Hi Doug,
I'll be in Germany (Ayl-Trier-Zeltingen- and beyond) from Sept 19th- Oct 11. Most of the time is booked with winery visits but my schedule gets very flexible starting Oct 2.

Sun Valley, up the highway above Ketchum is beautiful. Also The Nature Conservancy Preserve, Silver Creek, at Picabo is well worth visiting. (South of Hailey and Ketchum).
