Nicely done, Bryan. It is a difficult image to pull off. You have blended together the fore/mid/background well and avoided what can sometimes give the viewer the feeling of looking at two different...

Uncertainty vs. Failure

Both are useful tools.
Uncertainty provides the motivation, and the failures find the means.

Frog on lemon leaf

Money is stored time and effort. And the plunder of thieves.

I have also given a neg a slight bleaching, refix, then selenium toning, to bump up the contrast. But rare.

I'll agree as long as the subject can be a concept...not a physical object. One of main subjects of my images is the action of light on the landscape and how that shapes our perception.

I feel...

Doing my happy dance!

Great news -- may the gods of silver be with you!

Okay --thought it was something like that. But it did just turn one of most commonly used one-click actions into a click-choose-click action.

Thanks -- until today, "Mark All Posts Read" (or Forums) was a separate toolbar item and not in a sub-menu...at least on my set-up.

Is it just me, or have others lost the "Mark Posts Read" option?

Gregg,
The light on the scene is captured wonderfully. Compositionally, the bottom and top of the image feel to me to be two images. It helps to create visual tension...and contributes to the...

Cut us some slack, please. We are complimenting him on knowing his audience. A sign of a experienced and competent teacher.

I was keeping away from mentioning too many films, but my last backpack trip (a couple weeks ago), my 4x5 holders were loaded up with Kodak Professional Copy Film (#4125, ASA 25). Talk about...

The way I make carbon prints (whether right or wrong...it's the prints that matter) takes similar negs (around 2.8 to 3.0 density range). I print with a raised relief, and by having healthy negs, I...

# 1...Do not use HP5+. It expands, but slower/less than other films.

#2...Use FP4+ and Ilford Universal PQ developer at close to paper strength. Or Dektol (1:2, 1;1 or even straight depending on...

My 11x14 is lighter than my 8x10. I use the same pod and head with both, and the same lenses -- but the holders make it a different story! :cool:

Doremus -- I could not watch it for the same...

Solved that by always exposing the same image on both halves -- can try a slightly different exposure, or just get an extra neg -- nice when working with alt processes that can damage negatives. Or...

The f64 group was a response to the art-based photography of that time, and the times since then has responded to the f64 group...with such movements as the "Alternative Photography" of the 60/70s....

And the f64 group was not about using f64. That is a rather simplistic way of looking at the group.

No photograph is like we see. We experience the world as a gestalt of shifting focus and pupil...

To see how weird the way I think is.

One needs to be aware on where the plane of focus lies. Think about the plane the branch exists on -- fairly vertical, perpendicular to the earth. By using front tilt, the plane of focus tilts...

Bryan left early this morn to take a walk in the redwoods and continue up the coast towards Washington!
I took him on a walking tour of the town, the first stop being a (dry) tour of the World...

Bryan should have past west of me this morning on his way north into the redwoods. I blew getting back to his PM in a timely manner, so I hope to hear from him by phone. The light this morning should...

Find one of the threads that Doremus describes his way of placing the plane of focus.

In your second image, front tilt would make it more difficult to get that front branch in focus as it would be...

Mark probably hit the spot -- 19" (480mm) is a rather long lens -- and careful placement of the plane of focus and closing down to the smallest apertures is needed (contact printing rarely requires...

I had forgotten my sky-hooks. My arms get tired and start to shake if I have to hold all that weight up.

Went backpacking last week with the 4x5 (Gowland PocketView). Took the Bogen pod to save a couple pounds. I survived, but having a pod that is too short was a drag.

Sometimes the rebate is treated as part of the image (4x10 and 5.5x14 examples)

Cryptography...Isn't that the other name for photographing graveyards?

Great switchback!

I do not think silliness is a reason threads are usually closed. :cool:

I was only there for a month at the beginning of their windy season. Lots of rain...just like home use to be!

Ice -- I have had that happen in mellow Humboldt County, obviously not to that...

I will disagree, Brian. There was what could be conceived as a thinly veiled anti-climate change statement made, which caused the gov't link to be posted...so it was definitely leaning that way.

Iceland-- got to get there one day...if only to see how it compares to Patagonia in its windy season (it was not as bad as I feared). A friend had an artist-in-residence (photo) a few years ago in...

Someone dared to link to a gov't report.

Do not want to get all the Don't-trust-the-gov't people upset. ;)

Other than that, don't know other than a precautionary action.

For fun and future reference, I checked out the recorded water flow of Redwood Creek.

The early morning of the day I started my hike the creek was at 12.7' and 800 cfs, but by the time I hiked...

Hit 80F in my backyard the last two days, a heat wave! Up to a half-inch rain expected this weekend (should be great under the redwoods). Then more reasonable temperatures the next week...

"Rollin', rollin', rollin', keep them cantalopes rollin'...french fries!"

Back safe and as sound (mentally?) as I ever get these days. Did not hit the trail until about about 5pm. Saw no one...
