Got into some good fog last week - not cold enough to be pogonip. First two Tmax 100, third Tmax 400, all developed in D-23.

I like my Fuji 125W, and they are pretty affordable. Went out a couple days ago and used my Fuji 125 and 240 for 5 out of 6 sheets of film.

Dennis doesn't seem to come around here anymore, but he does wonderful work. I sleuthed him out, not that it was all that hard!

Two fences. The fog was a shade too dense - I'd like the second fence to show more. Oh well...

After looking at your web page, I'm not convinced you need a whole lot of help! But thank you for getting others to offer up some great suggestions.

Very nice job of finding order in a pretty chaotic environment! I really enjoy this photo, from the foreground ferns to the leaves in the upper corners, to the more illuminated bit in the upper...

Yes, nice winter shots. Can't decide which I like better!

Yes, nice image. The way the tree is thicker at the top of the frame is very helpful - excellent composition.

Truck and trailer are definitely a good choice when staying put for more than one night. I imagine someone who is efficient can move daily with ease, as well. And the truck is dual (or more) purpose!

We drove Sprinter, Promaster, Transit. To each his own, but the Promaster just didn't work for my body, which was evident after 10 minutes of driving it. I liked the Transit, but liked the Sprinter...

Vaughn really hit the nail on the head with his first post. How many people? For shorter trips, or living in for a long period of time? Does it need to be dual use, or can it be dedicated for...

Thanks, Austin. I was curious about the construction of the shelters - went to the Pallet site and found out all about it!

We do a lot of skiing at our local NP, Crater Lake. This winter, crowds like I've never seen. Hopefully now it will quiet down.

Yeah, the grass is always greener!

Are you going to be shooting 4x5? Do you plan to do mostly landscapes, architecture, and the like, or still lifes, portraits, ...?

All the other folks chiming in know much more about the latter,...

Austin, tell us a little about the shelters, if you would!

Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose...

On of my all-time favorites!

For some reason made me think of the John McPhee book In Control of Nature. I'd love to see your big print!

Problem solved, thanks to Mark's suggestion!

Apparently smiley faces qualify as characters!

:) :) :)

Thanks, Richard and Mark. Those ideas give me a good place to start!

I'm using a Flextight, and getting a problem on scans. The first 1.5cm or so of the leading edge (going into the scanner) of the negative is slightly blurred on the scan. (This is happening on both...

Good advice, but neither process (Epson ABW and Piezography) is all that exciting! :) So, for me, the end result is the determining factor in this case.

Three very nice images! Greg, are you familiar with Jay Dusard? He used a 4x10 box camera for many of his images. I highly recommend his book "Open Country," which you can pick up pretty cheaply used.

Good analogy to our discussion, in many ways...

Fortunately the frequency gamut of our piano (maybe discounting some overtones) still fits within the gamut of my hearing!

I should also add that, in my case "what you see is what you get" sometimes doesn't result in a good print. Then I go look at the monitor and realize that "what is there is what you got," and the...

I was going to stay out of the monitor discussion, as I come to it from a position of very little experience and knowledge. But this quote brings up a sort of philosophical question that I have been...

Nice images, Bryan and Patrick. Gotta love those southeast river names. I'm a mediocre whitewater kayaker in the west, and am always amused by the names of the rivers and creeks they run back there,...

Very nice, Len. How fortuitous that there was also the other cloud behind, filling the upper left corner of the frame.

I really didn't feel that my prints were any lighter or darker than I expected, which might be partially explained by the fact that I'm using a CRT monitor. What was interesting was that the Piezo...

OK, so the results are in, at least partially. Long post – if you are not really interested in Piezography, I wouldn’t read it!

I went ahead and ordered a set of Piezography K7 inks, neutral tone,...

Great images, Mat and Daniel. A lot of other very nice stuff at your web page, Mat. I'll have to check out the podcast!

Probably not very old, but it does qualify under "farms," so I'm putting this here. Hay shed in fog. These things are pretty ubiquitous around here.

I don't have a dog in this fight, but the person starting the post did so in 2008, and hasn't posted here since 2012. (You can see this by clicking his/her username and then looking at "View Forum...

So does this mean that ABW expands the shadow values in the digital file over a wider range of values in the print? And, if so, is there a corresponding compression in the mid-tones and/or high...

No, what is it? It's a bit ironic always tell my wife not to lend books to people. It seems that we who lend are often far more enthusiastic about the book than they that we lend it to!

Send me a...

Green's Store, Buffalo Creek, Colorado. This is an early 4x4.75 of mine. 4.75 because I didn't seem to get the film all the way in the holder when I loaded it. I also didn't have any concept of...

Merg,

Is your book still available? I lent mine to a friend and he lost it. :-(
