Ha! No kidding. I was thinking the exact same thing as I read this.

Finally, a way to take portraits using long exposure.

4x5 or larger film.

What's the difference???

I'm not certain but, something doesn't smell right about this.

f11 on a 72mm lens is not the same diameter opening as f11 on a 90mm lens.

Right??

fX = focal length/hole diameter

Foma

Then yeah, it's 16oz (743mL).

I don't know if this is the "Old" stuff. I think it's still pretty new. Do you want to see a picture of the label and bottle?

Rolling them into a tube is not an option?

I just acquired 14 unopened bottles of HC110. They're all US made and have an expiration date of 2014 on them.

I don't know when these bottles were purchased new but, is the expiration date...

Yup. Also, having a "flat" negative gives you more versatility in the printing process.

I just saw an Exhibit of Ansel Adams (48 images) two weeks ago in South Bend. I was underwhelmed.

I guess there was know way it could have lived up to the build up and all the hype.

I have one of these but have never used it. Shutter sticks below 1/50. Anywho, thought I'd mount it and mess around. However, there are some threads on the back of the lens that would indicate that...

You can use any paper type for contact printing. I don't really think there is anything called contact printing paper.

Well, like I said, I do enjoy the craft portion of things but, don't think it is an end in itself.

In other words, if, hypothetically, if I'm presented with two IDENTICAL pieces of furniture (or...

Maybe I don't appreciate HOW something is created as much as I appreciate WHAT the final creation is, regardless of how it was created.

Or, maybe I can respect HOW something was created but, don't...

Agreed. I would never pay $300 for a photograph if I could cut it out of a magazine.

Would you??????

I think it's BS.

I can appreciate the dedication and the sacrifice to a craft but, don't charge me $300 for raw fish on rice.

I LOVE sushi and have eaten it all over the U.S. While his may be...

Sounds very similar to old paper. So, what's the point????

These are stupid. They're not a timer. They're a stop watch. Completely useless.

Alternate Processes

So, my 2014 new years resolution is to minimize my gear and equipment but focus on quality (not quantity).

Can someone recommend the top two or three holder brands?

thanx much in advance.

This is a joke right??

I have an 8x10 Elwood with an Aristo 10x10 cold light head. I use it for 5x7 too.

Getting rid of it.

The down side is, they're cast iron and big and heavy. Also, not very precise. But, once...

Sulfide. I actually thought this would be easier. I guess I"ll try there next.

Well, all dry chemicals can be in the form of power, crystals or pellets. The anydrous, etc. nomenclature refers to the molecular structure. Specifically, how many water molecules are present.

It...

So I bought some of this from Photo Formulary awhile ago. It doesn't indicate whether this is anydrous, monohydrate, etc.

If not labeled, what is the customary default assumption??

thanx

Rototrim

Hmmmm....

Great thread.

I like the term "flinch point"

The other complication in pricing art is you have at least two types of buyers: Speculators and Afficianados.

I have KILLER deal on a 90mm.

PM me if interested.

So, there are two main financial concepts that have inter weaved in the posts of this thread and its recently closed predecessor: Costing and Pricing.

Having been with my current company for...

I think the people that justify their larger print sizes due to an incremental increase in time and materials are dishonest.

1. I can almost guarantee they don't know exactly how much more a 16x20...

Pretty cool dude. You're pretty prolific.

Anyone?

Nope. Art isn't something that is created because there is a demand for it like food or homes. Art is produced because someone was inspired or compelled to create something. If someone wants it, they...

Ha!! That's a hoot.

Cool!

Drew how much did your last print cost you to make?

How 'bout:

They're out west I believe.

If you have one, you should take a look at it. The actual viewer is designed to detach from the the bracket that attaches the whole unit to the back so you can rotate when you turn the back. I use my...
