blow up is one of my favs

I used to shoot a lot of 8x10 black and white, gave it up for 6x9, which was foolish, as I realize that was a mistake and miss LF a lot. Couple of years ago there were tons of 8x10 gear on ebay and...

here are a couple photographers that I find myself looking at a lot

nick nixon http://www.fraenkelgallery.com/
william gedney http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/gedney/
tom roma...

The thing that always impresses me the most with guys like this isnt their photographs, its more so their intellegence and eloquence

I think martin parr is the quintesential England photographer

People hated Atgets work too and he died penniless IIRC.

Aesthetics should be born, not followed.

Think of Jeff Wall like Cezanne or Van Gough or Monet. Those guys were tired of placing value in the surface appearance so they got very nerdy and started playing around in techniques of painting...

i have not shot with this set up, i was wondering if anyone had a quick response to see if it was worth shooting with it or not

thanks

i have an enlarging lens of 160mm on my 4x5 but in order to put it on the lensboard, the distance between the front glass and the back glass on the lens is made slightly longer, how will this effect...

that worked-

thanks

update: it works! for the most part at least...i need a new enlarging lens as this one becomes very faint at the edges...not enough coverage...
...

critical focuser is a grain focuser right? I got this free but it seems to be really out of wack from whats in focus and whats not (even judgeable by eye, its that out of wack from what is in focus...

i think it must be the developer, thanks guys

I wish the writer would be a bit more specific about what is actually in the show...

Theres some war photography from what I gather...I went to art school and her stuff was kinda drilled into our...

Im having a problem with my omega D2 enlarger where a 5 grade filter looks like a 00

I have very normal negatives and have printed these fine before on other enlargers but somethings funky with...

theres a slide in rail contraption my dad is building right now out of aluminum railing so I dont have to sandwich the neg, but sandwiching it could work, its just the light box weighs about 20 lbs...

the most important part of a critique is discussing the criticality (doye) of the photo...at least in terms of post modern photography class hulabaloo

I think it's really too hard to crit stuff on...

it weighed about 200 lbs when it was complete so it was pick up only (nh)

Got this nuarc copy camera on ebay for 99 cents complete with a 165mm rodenstock lens, moved the lightbox to where the film vacum is

viola, 8x10 enlarger with a digital timer...

Im trying to figure out how to shoot to use POP and they recommend a film density of 2...I shoot tri-x 320, is this just a matter of adjusting the exposure time and processing? I imagine if the POP...

doye

sorry

68 degrees
10 minutes
1:1

I recently started processing at home and mixing my own chemicals, I mixed .9 lbs of powder with 1 gallon of water, but am unsure of the processing time...is it 1:1 with water after this initial...

Im building an 8x10 enlarger so I can make 16x20s and im trying to figure out how long of a lens to buy for the enlarger...is it possible to tell if the lens I use on my camera (nikkor 300mm 5.6)...

i hate showing off the camera...i think its better to ask the person about taking their picture first then get the camera from the car so their not so intimidated

I actually think that a 16x20 enlargement when done right is the ideal size for black and white 8x10 film, its true that some resolution is lost but I think its still something that you may have to...

love that one

I disagree, I think there is a very noticeable difference between an enlargement made with a 4x5 to 16x20 and one made with a 8x10 to 16x20, it is more apparent with black and white vs. color, but I...

for shooting black and white, i say, if im gonna lug all this gear around, i might as well go that extra little step and take on an 8x10

i think its wholly more useable than 4x5 in that its still...

his stuff is porno a lot of the time. i dont think hes a very good photographer either but i do laugh at some of the stuff he makes so i appreciate him for those pics that make me go wtf was he...
