This has been a helpful thread for me. Thanks.

Mine: Using a light meter is like using a tuning fork before playing every note of Devil’s Dream on the fiddle. (I am not there yet!)

I sent Michael an e-mail and waiting to hear back. Looks like a great event.

The internet is a lawless frontier, venture in carefully. Yes, I have instagram, but post sparingly. Mostly watch the videos posted of my grandchildren.

I like the floating mount. How do you attach them to the backing?

Yes, that bleach is unfamiliar to me also. Maybe it was depleted from exhaustion or age. With the dichromate bleach I’ve used this has never been a problem. Other possible problems could be the...

I did some color work today. Printed Fuji Crystal Archive from 6x7 negatives. I was very happy with the results. I mix my own chemicals the day I process. I think it might be easier and cheaper...

I love the shade that the green filter render for the foliage Tuco. Which green filter did you use?

The my wooden Elwood negative carriers are really meant for plates. Likewise antique contact frames never had glass in them. Just drop the plate in carefully.

Thanks for sharing your spinach anthotype process. First description I have seen of the process. Interesting that it is a positive process.

Another effect is extremely slow shutter speeds at night with the moving light of cars and such. The close subject lit by the flash will be clear and everything else blurs.

Plan to change trains in Chicago next Tuesday and hope the shop is open.

Yes. I believe that would be a good solution. Even if you had the space, the only disadvantage to the drums would that you cannot see the magic of the image appearing as it develops. You can wash a...

Congratulations on your completed project. I love the whiteboard solution! I have a tiny board in mine. It’s time for a larger one.

I have never been able to hoard up a supply of film and paper. I just seems to get gone. But then I try to keep my photo materials budget to $150 a month.

I only sign my Ziatypes. They are contact prints so I write the title and date on the edge of the negative in very fine pen. This then prints through and can be seen. I then write my mark in the...

Love the yurt! We don’t live in one, but enjoy staying in them when we can. I am also contemplating the convertible Symmar 180mm so good see an example with another Symmar convertable.

Nice action shot! I am contemplating getting a new set with digital lane controls, lap counters etc. for my basement. Just rearranged it today and it looks like I could find a good spot to set it...

I am suspicious of the results of good tasting beer. The laboratory plant which produces Bud probably adds a special ingredient to help it develop the film.

Curiosity got me. I had to try beeranol developer and post my results so others might know what happened.

I followed precisely the formula from Digital Truth with Budweiser, washing soda, and...

Welcome, and join the fun.

Thanks Popdoc!

My work went on a sort of public display for the first time since 1986. I was invited to participate in an art fair at Oxo tower in London. As I looked at some of the other work, I don't really...

Robert. Good luck with your submission. Very nice work.

I suspect that the bearded members are the more faithful large format users. Looks like fun.

This is particularly difficult lighting and subject…and in color! Important work. Thanks for sharing.

With all the science of this subject, it is still a subjective subject. Personally, (subjectively) I enjoy looking at photographs with midtones that appear rich and lavish. I have found that when I...

Here is a good reference I use: https://www.bonavolta.ch/hobby/en/photo/c41_ra4_chemicals.htm. I have been experimenting with these for about a year. I use the divided bleach and fix formula for...

Alan. Yes, a 35 f2.5 on my 35.

My practice is to take 2-3 holders. That way I can process all in one batch. My b&w tank holds six. I made a pouch which I sling over my shoulder so that I have quick access to them when my camera...

Nikonos III with 35mm lens. FP4 printed on Multigrade.

An old fashion way to more natural boarders was the oval vignette.

Sometimes I feel that prints larger than 11x14 tend to become mere interior design elements in a room. I do enjoy the atmosphere they bring, but just not the way I see while working with a camera. ...

Thanks for sharing. I built my darkroom about a year ago. I used a elevated drain also, but was able to raise my sink a bit to be at the level of the drain. Instead of a drain pump you could save...
