That site doesn't exist anymore. Anyone out there know what happened to her? I think her name was Dianne Best.
Dragged my 14x17 over to Riverview grounds, to photograph some ultra-large format pinholes images on XRAY film, of the Centre Lawn Bld, and a bush that I affectionately call, Cousin It. It took me...
South Lawn Bld. Riverview Hospital Grounds.
14x17 on Hahnemuhle PR.
Sodium Acetate developer.
Selenium toned.
Welcome!
Thank you Sandy! And thank you for all your help over the years!
Small notebook.
HP5 can be used for alt processes, as long as you develop it in a high contrast developer like D-19, or DK-50 (thanks to Vaughn's suggestion several years ago). I've tested it in both and was able to...
Much more comfortable in there now. I can now easily wipe up any spills where as before, the old counter would just soak it up :D
I lost mine!
Finally got off my backside and installed a new wet side counter in my darkroom... Found the counter at local hardware store for "reasonable" price.
Hopefully will be processing some 14x17 XRAY...
The focusing on mine was tight at first, but eventually quite smooth. Too much back and forth focusing did it in, I guess. I do like it as a pinhole. I got a .4 on it which renders quite sharp...
I sure loved using this camera... took it with me to Japan a few times. I loved it until the metal parts inside the heliocoid snapped. Converted it to a pinhole, but miss walking around with a 90mm...
Select it with the lasso tool. Then go to Edit>Fill. In the Content drop-down window, select Content-Aware > OK.
Smooth, flat-bottomed trays are perfectly safe with double-sided films. I got rid of my hangers (for 8x10), as way too much solutions were required to process. Gentle agitation is key. Since...
I still had quite a bit of space, but I went in and cleaned house anyway. Thanks for the heads up!
Are you sure it's not caused by you? I ask because I had similar flaws with Ektascan. I was using Obisidian Aqua and semi-stand at the time, citric acid stop, and Ilford Rapid fix. I switched to...
Firstly, I would revisit your development bath temperature. For me, that's just too hot! I Use the drift method. The temp starts at 45C. By the time the tissue is pealed, and print is cleared, the...
I would as suggested, develop as you intended. The shadow area(s) (without me knowing what they are), will be quite buoyant... Pyrocat-HD is great at taming high values.
Why would you need a CD, when you can easily go to youtube and watch them??
I'll save a few that I care dearly about, make multiple prints of them, then destroy the rest. Hopefully I don't suddenly drop dead before then! Eventually, even the ones I save, will be lost, or...
Awesome! I subscribed, by the way.
Looking forward to see what they will charge for Mummy 400 8x10.
Anyone know who is making this stuff? I want to say it's just a rebranding, but what other ISO 200 B/W films are out there? I'd be tempted to buy a box if it were available in 8x10. Anyway, the...
I would pick a film that has been around for a long time, from a reputable manufacturer. One that will continue on into the future. This Frankenstein 200 would be fun to try out, but no guarantees...
I've never been a big fan of Rodinal. Sorry. :o
Out of curiosity, what EI did you use, and did you use the same EI for all dilutions?
Here's a video I've been working on for the past couple of weeks. I thought I'd do it while waiting for my box of Adox CMS 20 II to arrive.
I wanted to see if pre-exposing film would help restore...
Welcome. Quebec is a lovely province!
I can buy Glycin in Canada. Last time I checked, Canada is on planet Earth...:cool:
Thanks, Michael. Yes, I have tested CHS with Pyrocat-HD. Eventually, I'm going to work out times for Xtol-R, as it's become my main developer...again. :D
Thanks everyone! Yes, POTA is Marilyn Levy's baby. It's currently in the "alternative to Adotech IV battle". I've decided to make a family of curves using Adotech IV, POTA, Caffenol CL-CN, and D-23....
I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thank you for posting it, Bernice. And thank you, John! I think I would love it if my wife gave me the same for my birthday! :)
Welcome!
Just uploaded part one on YouTube. I'm sampling Xtol, POTA, and Caffenol CL-CN, and comparing them to Adotech IV. In part two (currently testing) I'll sample Pyrocat-HD (mostl likely 2-bath), D-23,...
I assume you have printed the negatives?
Welcome from the best coast!
Begging your pardon but the whites are NOT muddy. They are white. White where they should be white. I do know how to print. I've been printing for over 30 years, and white whites are important to me,...
Sorry, I posted last message twice for some strange reason...
Thank you, Roger. The print is quite nice. Better than I expected, actually. I thought for sure I would have to do a considerable amount of tweaking with the sensitiser, but nailed it first time...
