This brings up a question that I've had but haven't bothered to look up:

I know that developer is a one-shot chemical, but would I be able to develop a single sheet and then immediately afterward...

Doremus,

After reading the responses here, I will certainly add in a rotation...

Michael,

Thanks for the reply.

The images do have thin, wispy clouds in the skies. The streaks I am referring to are in the right negative in the circled area. It will be easier to see in the...

Hello all,

I have a problem that I haven't been able to solve on my own, so I'm turning to you for help.

I took this photograph along Minnesota's wonderful North Shore, one of my favorite places on earth, this past August. The water...

Thank you all very much for the kind words.

I feel very fortunate to have visited the Bighorns on that day. The weather for hiking was fantastic, cool and just a light mist of rain. I saw a...

This is a view from where Lake Helen outflows into West Tensleep Creek, high up in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. Absolutely...

Love this landscape! I hope to visit this neck of the woods someday soon. Looks like an amazing photographic destination.

You definitely get what you pay for. For me, the Intrepid 4x5 was a great educational tool. I took some good photos with it and got into large format using it. But once I used a higher quality...

Alan, thank you for the compliment! Regarding my comment on Intrepid vs. Chamonix:

Unfortunately, I have disliked my Intrepid 8x10 since the day I got it for several reasons:

This was along the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River near the Chimneys picnic area.

No kidding about reciprocity failure charts! On two occasions I was getting exposure times of 2+ minutes at...

Hey everybody!

I'm John and although I've been shooting large format for about three years now, I've only recently started posting on this forum. Over the years the posts that you all have made...

I took my first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early October this year. It rained nearly constantly during my 4 days there, but those conditions resulted in some fun and dark...

Lovely image, Brad! I've always wanted to visit the shores of the Pacific Northwest. Some day!

I took this photograph in Badlands National Park, South Dakota in July 2020.

I was hiking in the back country early in the evening and the light cast though passing storms to the south was...

I took this with my 4x5 in the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming last summer. It was one of the most memorable hikes of my life, and hope to return some day soon. Printed on 8x10 Ilford fiber glossy.

All,

Thank you for your replies.

I just got home and immediately checked something out... as it turns out, the twisty rod thing is NOT the same as the center column... so, yeah, I didn't have...

Graeme, thank you for taking the time to reply to my question.

I bought a set of 5 Riteway film holders - used, of course - and they seem to be in good condition. I'll check them more closely, but...

Hello forum!

I am very new to large format photography, and I'd first like to thank the people on this site; it has really been a huge help in me taking the leap into large format, which is...
