no nothing's too dense, its exactly like making a print. and yup. simple cameras are way more valuable, and they already have simple lenses that look like they cost $3000 pre-installed by the...
yes, ... 3 sheets of film, bracketed like a test strip with a dark slide. Each developed a little different.
your exaggerations area too funny, Drew, 3 sheets of 4x5 will make someone poor or...
I thought you said you didn't have darkroom facilities
sorry for my misunderstanding !
exactly !

good luck with that !
you might become good friends with your lab / the people who develop your film into negatives and bracket rolls / do test strips on sheets of film using your dark slide to...
Excellent !
hope it works if you try it !

you might look into using a yellow filter to tame the contrast a little bit, and if you have never done a 2 developer routine to develop paper negatives it might be a useful procedure. for years I...
well, the way back machine has something ( the only website of hers I remember no photo stuff just this stuff )

sounds and looks dangerous!
I do that with wheat or rice paste instead of dry mount tissue. Ive tipped pages in books like that but never something that's hung on a wall could probably be done with...
yup, but I haven't compensated for the decades of stress ... at the moment im up to 1,788,176,680. might have to add on 725,824,800 more for the BS/Stress factor ...
Yup, everyone has their opinions. I tended to listen Wilhelm and Ron Mowrey ... and personally, I wouldn't dry mount anything if my life depended on it. It is not supposed to be very good for much...
not sure where you are from maltfalc but that's an "american" expression meaning "not the real deal" / "not the real McCoy". my comment has nothing to do with the authenticity of film or paper or...
not exactly, you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. but sometimes it's ok any say "hey this is a pig with lipstick on it"
years ago Starbucks coffee had these images that looked like gum...
What works for me is take them down when they are almost but not completely dry and put them face to face and back to back under something heavy. I use slab of countertop, giant sheet of glass a...
blotter book
retractable clothes line ( and clothes pins )
no infinite shelf life, bummer.
2 years?
probably translates this way > from overseas on a slow boat stuck in the Suez Canal and then stuck at sea circling the landing strip, and then stuck in a...
I hope that is still true these days. the last kodak chemicals I used ( not concentrated fixer but dry-print/film developer so obviously much different ) screwed the pooch ... not sure what is up,...
hi Jim
sometimes it has to do with lack of funds to spend on materials, and photographic materials cost a fortune. my chain of events had to do with not having money to spend and having a lot of...
you folks don't get that reek with T4 and 5? I tried to join the chuckwagon years ago when I first read everyone's love-posts and that it was "odorless" but it reeked of ammonia so much I had to...
are you making darkroom prints or are you working on a computer?
scan your file ( paper negative or film negative doesn't matter ) you open the contrast sliders and dial things down, then you go...
I use a toyo monocle hood on every camera I own. not expensive, and works great./ as a matter of fact I've been attempting to sell my toyo for like a decade and now realize its probably because I'm...
they have some (flanges) on hand in in stock can't remember what. brand and what lens/shutter but they have ( had ) them.. pre made and to sell.. I'm cheep and use a foam core friction mount
I think SK Grimes will fabricate flanges / retaining rings...
the main thing I would add / stress is do your printing in small batches and have a "test print" that is your "testing for residual fixer" guinea pig". use a split fixer routine (1/2 your fixing in...
for some that is the same thing
..
IDK I think it's about being in one's comfort zone.. being a public figure, and $$ don't help.
yup, we're doomed, I'm so stressed out I need to sit here and pet my my comfort goat as I type this.. the only problem is it keeps eating my keyboa
LOL. I was going to say she was from the Atlantic coast ;)
might be a state of mind ..
there were plays written about her family-work. not sure if there were plays written about Jock Sturges...
she's good, and spot on. people replace what little memories they have with photographs they think are their memories and then they
create realities and lore having to do with the photographs...
softer lenses are nice but these days they can cost you an organ and you 'll wake up in a bathtub full of ice ...
Reinhold's lenses are absolutely lovely and you'll have your organs intact .. ...
5-10% isn't bad
if it helps in any way why not, I mean it's only a few minutes of time spent jotting
stuff down... I haven't found anything helps me in what I am doing ... so I don't bother
the...
I didn't know that writing down the exposure data for the film was that important. I guess it's important of someone is going to do expansion / contraction development but for someone who just sunny...
Hi freddy
I didn't realize we were supposed to be keeping photo data. I don't think I've ever recorded anything like that.

cyanotypes on my ig feed ( instagram.com/jnanian ) are made on site at, on, with local water at the water's edge.
shipping is never inexpensive, even before fuel prices went up.
sometimes I send something and the shipping and VAT is 2x the cost of the item and then it's stuck in customs for 3 weeks. gotta love...
look for what is called the auxiliary focus attachment .. it is a lens cone with a bellows attached originally made for doing jewel prints / reductions but it is a great "all cone" cone....
A good question, and that’s not really an answer. What compels you?[/QUOTE]
sorry, is this better >> ennui ?
to be honest I really don't post much ...
Does Western South Dakota count? Go to Sylvan Lake, it's very nice. Further east is rolling prairie .. can't be nicer than that...
there's going to be a solar flare / electric magnetic pulse soon and all the exif data will be lost like most everything else. (said like Alvie Singer )
all I wanted was that Pepsi!
I am not exactly sure .. compulsion ?
