    Re: my show, "Bearing Witness"

    Very nice collection of pictures! I regret that I'll not get to see them in person.

    Even if you don't post here much any more, you can always lurk.
  2. Re: “White” Panel LED Color Temperature W/VC Filters?

    Agreed in principle with Doremus here. The problem is that many kinds of light that "look" more or less white to us are far from natural white light (of whatever color temperature) in terms of their...
  3. Re: Interesting article in the local news today.

    Developing film in the field is pretty hardcore (not to mention voluntarily wrestling with a Mamiya C330). I have to admire her grit and originality. Some of the images are strange and compelling, to...
  4. Re: Help with TF4 / TF5 vs ilford rapid fixer - pros & cons

    FWIW I use two-bath fixing with TF5 (formerly with TF4). The first bath, which does most of the work and takes the beating from the citric acid stop bath, gets dumped at the end of the session. The...
  5. Re: New Daguerreotype - With magnified image detail

    It's the most "intimate" way of viewing the actual image, more so even than a contract print (which is one generation away). A good daguerreotype is a unique gem. This is a beauty!
  6. Re: Architecture w/o People - reciprocity/development corrections

    Have you thought about working in first light, just after sunrise? Few people are up and about them. Your project
    makes me think of Eugene Atget (1857-1927), one of my very favorite photographers....

    Re: Lights in the darkroom

    Regarding the white lights that you use for viewing your prints, I would caution you to not make them too bright, especially if they are "white" LED lights. If you view a print (especially a wet...

    That's a really pleasing image, Gabe. How often have we seen these moments of special light, and not had our cameras set up!

    Re: Formula for Citric Acid Stop Bath?

    Steve's procedure is what I do. There is practically no problem with youngsters hurting themselves with citric acid. It is used in canning food, after all, and tasting the powder will cure you...

    to one-half the stated box speed), and developing gently (less than the usual...

    Re: What did you compose at Waters Edge?

    Agreed with the others. Make the pictures you want and to hell with the commenters. Everybody has a story to tell.
    Some like to tell it on forums, others with a camera.

    Re: John Wimberley - film ?

    I'm guessing that he used a diffusion enlarger. He's a very unassuming man-- you could always write to him. We talked shop one time, about lenses and so on. He encouraged me consider using 5x7. I...

    Re: Enlarger Lens coverage

    To make larger prints of 4x5 negatives you will need shorter focus lenses, say 150 or 135mm. Roll film (square format) is usually enlarged with an 80mm lens. I cannot make out the different focal...
  21. Re: ‧ ‧ ‧ - - - ‧ ‧ ‧

    I see the spots now. They are very small! Film can get "exposed" by friction, bending, or maybe sliding into the film holders or developing tank (I'm not familiar with the kind you use), though I've...
  22. Re: ‧ ‧ ‧ - - - ‧ ‧ ‧

    I couldn't really see anything that looked like fog in the images you posted here. Film holders (and the camera itself) are often the bad actors in situations where negatives get fogged. You could...

    Hi, ASA1000. Reading about your processing steps, it seems a bit strange to me that you flatten your prints for four minutes at 165 deg F in a press, and allow them to cool between two sheets of...
