If the finger get cold, I give the breeze the middle one and wait it out. Actually, decades of photographing in the redwoods where I never have exposures less than several seconds and usually in the...

My understanding is the FujiW 300mm and 360mm IC did not change significantly with the design change that accompied the shift of inside to outside writing, but there is a significient difference in...

Congrats, Jim. Be accepted into the show is a great honor. It has a great tradition as a muli-media showcase of Sierra-inspired art for, well, 36 years. And the book is amazing.

Its all relative, depending on the filter color, colors present, and the needs of the process I'll be printing with (non-silver). Small shadow areas where I do not need detail, but are 'fogged' by...

That sort of thing, along with pick-ups stuck in the sand with the tide coming in -- people grabbing their gear out of it before it was too late. Or the fisherman with poles walking down the road as...

I already factored all that in...especially when I am planning on the shadows dropping. I check my meter, lick my finger & stick it in the air, choose an exposure, and wonder why my finger is wet. I...

I was wondering when we were going to get to actual venting!!:cool:

I have not blocked under my house yet -- too much work under there still to do. Raccoons and skunks move in -- then quickly...

A digital image from my bike ride today. About 25 mile loop, starting at 80 elevation at home, to 3000' where this image is taken. It is looking back into the river valley where I started, and the...

Varies, but the basic film/developer right now, FP4+ in PyrocatHD 2:2:100, 74F (120 and 4x5 to 11x14), with Ilford PQ Universal Developer on hand.

Could the element spacing be optimized for higher magnification?

Not good frames for larger sizes (from experience). No pressure in the center.

That is my definition of (my) photography.

They were are now-out-of-date in the printing world -- you might find a similar beast made in England. There are a couple threads on DIY vacuum frames (20/4/2020 and 22/11/2019) that I saw on a...

It might be worth researching the vacuum frames for that size. I have two old NuArc UV printers with built-in vacuum frames. I am considering removing the vacuum easel from the smaller unit (it is...

Its the Fuji W 360mm that has the 86mm filter size...

I am still waiting for the release of the VIII...

It looks like the front should have more movement -- the swing looks like it should also shift. No front tilt? Easy to work with, anyway.

Out for a little hike along the river between rains. Its up a bit, but not close flood stage.
Felt good to get out!

Very nice find!! I have a very similar camera...perhaps a little later? Eastman View No.2 (below)

It has been working out very well. One makes adjustments (pun) for not having front lens tilt....

I gathered lenses too haphazardly to plan that. Ah, the days of one lens, one filter (yellow) kept on the lens, and removed with the lenscap if not needed. Now it is, "Yellow? (which yellow?),...

Just one other possibility...do our eyes adjust to changes in light intensity differently as we age?

Thanks for taking my comment in the way it was intended! Humourous, yet thoughtful. I have shown with Mark (2-person show years ago) and have been able to sit down with him and chat. A good...

And it could be those subtle blacks (and other aspects of the image) that those with untrained eyes are seeing that make them go "I like it!", but they may be unable to tell you why. Subtle changes...

Bill - fine image...reminds me of a couple images I've made of close-up of black mussels -- they are not good enough to show, but your images speaks of the possibilities...

You missed the hole of that particular needle.

Your LEDs are probably getting old and losing strength...as are your eyes.

You might try having a decent wet print handy for comparison.

Good to know the dead can rest.

When I had a wet plate portrait taken, I found the harder I tried to be still, the more shake there was. My boys were good for up to 2 minutes -- but they were in...

Friends of Photography, Carmel -- I received scholarships to attend two FoP workshops (two years in a row). I got my scholarship application back from FoP and someone had written on the back..."How...

Workshop Stories: changed through photography is being printing and I have a small part in it. It is a collection of (photography) workshop stories...an interesting, informative, or curious story...

Rolleicord to 11x14. Choice is often image/mobility driven.

I use that combination (in Jobo Expert Drums/motor base)...great way to start.

I heard New Zealand was thinking of going to driving on the right side of the road...too many bloody tourists from America. They are going to give it a go and have all the cars drive on the right...

Here is a log, dead, on 5.5x14 format...

(but 8x10 is pretty cool!)

On top of that, if one has the air flow keeping fumes from one's head, any movement of bodies in the room will disturb the air flow -- minor issue.

Dang....I was ready for someone to complain about their darkroom.

Looks sweet, Jess. Luis' also, but one will have to be careful not to lean over the sink and have one's head in the flow of fumes...

The heavy top (dark and contrasty as you mentioned) does lean forward some -- reducing the feeling of depth in the image. A different printing might resolve this if that is the direction you want to...

I packed mules for a decade -- burros and llamas are much smaller so will fit into a smaller box when packing them. They still need air holes and good padding.

My current Eurovan has a top like yours. On my own, I keep the bed made downstairs and I will pop the top if I want to throw stuff up there to keep it out of the way...usually I keep it down. Waking...

That is what I use for my 11x14. It is Granite Gear's larger one -- eats my Chamonix and room for several holders, and everything else. Don't know why I forgot -- haven't used the 11x14 in too many...

TC -- my two boys and I spent a three weeks driving through southern Chile in a small mini-van type vehicle with a 4-person rooftop tent. Do not leave shoes or anything you want to get wet at the...

I use this brand (Trekker II) for 8x10 - a friend uses the Clipper for 11x14.
