I bought some. Still in the freezer waiting to be tried.

Very interesting responses, thank you.
I'll look through the archives.
Reviewing Sandy's article and the other link yields some good things.
Two-bath development, especially "true"...
I'm interested in two-bath developers like D-23 and Pyrocat HD two-bath for their compensating development.
Is it possible to change the rate at which development takes place (i.e. contrast...
That's too bad. For me.
Conway native here, frequently up to Northampton. Love to support localism as well as LF.
I am no engineer, but... so we've got a circuit with a battery on one end. Somewhere between the batter and bulb in that circuit is a resistor followed by a capacitor?
Is the resistor there to...
Thank you for the replies, all.
It seems that graflex holders are in short and expensive supply right now. I guess because you can use them to make lightsabers? (???)
And I don't know, setting...
Ken,
How long does the show stay up? Would like to visit.

Hi All,
I've recently dug into flash bulbs. I'd like to begin experimenting in the studio. I have never done any kind of artificial lighting before aside from flashes built into cameras that go...
I'll also add that it's important to use an accurate scale for this. A triple beam would be fine. But I'd avoid kitchen scales. There's a 20g mg scale from American weigh that I use that is fantastic...
They started only a few days ago, and have only one author. Yet they don't accept unsolicited submissions? A lot of giant presses will even accept unsolicited manuscripts--even if 99.99% just get...
Kino Flos, if you have the cash on hand. Or, you could make your own.

Space: the final frontier.
Personally, I don't care much for pixel counting, and don't count sharpness as the most important quality of a photograph....
Is 3,200 megapixels enough?

It's good to get a bird's eye view from you, Sandy and Kirk, since I apparently started using the stuff in the heat of the situation, about 2006.
For what it's worth I've always enjoyed pyro and...
This isn't about the drama. I could care less about the drama. And even less about rekindling any old sentiments. I'm just looking for information for my own use and, as you point out Jay, there is...
I'm wondering if anyone could link me to one or two of the most heated and important threads that made up the pyro wars.
A lot of threads on the subject, I'm having trouble sorting through.
Doug, have you done this with scanner glass, or are you just speaking about removing mottling from glass in general? I'll try a scan this evening and toss up a pic of the problem
Hello, I just want to resurrect this for a moment to see if anyone has any other pointers.
I've taken the scanner apart and cleaned it with Sprayway glass cleaner, wiping down with paper towels....
I'm wondering if anyone knows any resources on collected details about when a certain film stock was produced, by whom, in what formats, etc. This is out of curiosity, and is not limited to LF...
My vote for more moderators. How many dozens of members are there with more than 1000 posts? If thats a good criteria. Im not going to spend too long crying over any changes to guidelines, or for...
Even if all this snobbery were able to create a photobook as superior as it sounds, I can guarantee the cost will not be even close to reasonable for the independent photographer.
It is perfectly...
Window light? Strobe?
That there was a thick, old style emulsion. Pretty much all gone as far as I know. You can try making your own, although I'm not sure homemade panchromatic emulsion is practical.
And forget about...

Uses a "slit camera" to sample one dimensional lines that repeat across the two dimensions over time. I can't figure out how someone...
Irony? Used to humorously express a point?
Ok my second paragraph is a little harsh but, I would still like to know, how have all the ameteur photographers affected the AP market?
That's a bit of a leap.
Look, fact is, digital has made it a lot easier to get great shots. I know a great (not "famous" though) architect who just has an apprentice or intern go out to the site...
How is the market for architectural photographers anyways? Don't a lot of architects and real estate agents just send someone out with a good camera and correct the parallels with PS?
She lives!
I found something quite affordable that might work: http://www.amazon.com/American-Metalcraft-Double-Sided-Flexible/dp/B004UMWVWY
Though I haven't gotten any yet.
That was a polite letter with some sad but very true facts. Unless you have $500,000 to buy up their coating machines, perhaps its time to lay down the sword.
Traditional photography IS chemistry. I briefly looked into making my own AgNO3, but basically it would be a novelty. The cost of getting beakers, silver bullion and acid shipped isn't worth it....
I mean, This is not splitting hairs. That's a huge difference on a chem that is bread and butter in the alt photo biz. I actually asked Artcraft on the phone why the formulary charges so much. He...
Wow, that is far less than I was expecting.

If youre looking for chems and not photo specific accessories like coating rods, etc, kiss the formulary goodbye. They aren't the only specialty supplier...
If I had a nickel for every time I've seen that shot of the old time guy standing on a ladder by his whale sized camera, I would have about $1.50.
In any case, I'd love to someday get my hands on...
100g of Silver nitrate at photographers formulary: $299
100g of silver nitrate at Artcraft: $119
Someone explain this to me.
On the service side, I've had ok service at the formulary, but...
Good artists borrow. Great artists... steal?
Was in the Boston museum of art the other day and caught a glimpse of this large tripod. It's probably about 7 feet tall and has some sort of copy stand attached to it to photograph that sarcophagus...
So, I have seen over the years still photographers use little arms, sometimes flexible, to hold small fills and reflectors around the subject for very precise light and reflection control. Sometimes...
Alright. Looks like I'm going to have to take er apart.
