    Re: Hit or Miss?

    Thanks guys! I never meant to put across that I was going to mimic the man, just kinda setting my sights high to force my brain to understand things that made his images stand out. I had some real...

    Hit or Miss?

    Perhaps I did a silly thing in thinking that I could even come close to the man, but as they say, only those who dare to go too far know how far they can go. Anyhow...I set my sights pretty high for...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    The college has a couple of Cambo view cameras that I could borrow at any time...and they're equipped with the Rodenstock Sironar-N lens in 250mm...I think. Problem is that I just don't think its...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    Thanks Noah and engl...I'm going to keep looking for the plasmats. Would I be right in assuming that as long as the lensboard is made to the camera's specs, that 'most' lenses will fit provided the...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    Just touching on this subject again Ivan...is the Sironar-N the only option here, or is heading away from a Tessar design lens in general the better move? I've found few lenses that go below the...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    To be honest here....I wasn't really concerned too much with the outcome...it was the setup and execution I was trying to get used to. This was my very first outing with the camera and getting used...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    Yes Ivan...that bit about the info being 'dated' is correct. Coming from the instructor who said it though is not surprising. A very experienced photographer...who's teaching a college course...while...

    Just an update to this thread as information has come to me from one of my instructors at college....he recommends that I use (get this....) Tungsten Color Slide film. Says that it doesn't suffer the...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    The Bessa has a Vaskar f/4.5 105mm, and from what I've been able to glean from the searches I've done is that it performs better a few stops in from full open, say f/11 or so. If anyone is familiar...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    I think I've located a few of the lenses mentioned, but tbh I really don't want to have to get a lens that will nearly cost the same amount as this camera...for just one shot. If it were the whole...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    One of the advantages of being a student at this college is that they do have the facilities to do large prints from scans, so the costs of prints are not being considered too much. It has been a...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    The LF camera I have has an Optar (Graflex) f/4.7 lens, and for almost all the shots but the one of the Aurora Borealis, the Provia would work just fine. The reason for the minimal exposure time for...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    Thanks John. I do intend to 'test' the film with the MF before I make the purchase for the LF sheets. Am also going to 'get to know' my LF with some b/w film, as I can process and print that at the...

    Re: Current Color films for LF night photography

    Nice shot Thomas! I've just found a webpage where a guy who's taken it upon himself to test certain types of color film for RF Law. In it he claims that the Provia 100F has much better light...

    Thanks to all for the warm welcomes! It goes without saying that I kinda feel like a fish out of water atm, but am confident enough to at least get the film in and press the shutter release. My...

    Ag Again...

    Hi everyone!

    I remember the moment I wanted to be a photographer. It was when my 7th grade science teacher showed the class a picture of a star trail. Since then, I've been treating photography...
