LOL — No! Just an interesting observation.

I noticed a gray-haired photographer milling around the witness table with 4x5 film holders sticking out of a jacket pocket and carrying what looked like a Linhof or an old Speed Graphic in one hand....

I love this thread. I’ve just looked at some of my “rejects” with more forgiving eyes.

Well done!

That’s nice, Kevin. How did you develop it?

I love that!

Chester, in my opinion, your darkroom print looks fine. But I know how niggling things like that can drive one crazy.

If Fred Picker’s ghost ever showed up in my darkroom, he would tell me to find a new hobby.

[QUOTE=Drew Wiley;1645129]Everything depends on the specifics. For example, what do you mean by deep red? 24A isn't as deep as a 25; 29 is deeper still, and some brands deeper than others. That...

Most unpopular opinion? That using a view camera is really cool. I quit believing that when DSLR photographers started looking at me, not with admiration, but with the kind of pitiful gaze reserved...

I like that!

That’s beautiful!

Yes, thanks. I just remembered about Richard Ritter.

Does anyone restore 2Ds? I have an 8x10 that needs work.

Really nice!

That’s a great story. I often feel like tearing up my prints, but it wouldn’t provide the same kind of drama.

In the course of a typical darkroom session, I’ll wind up with multiple prints, trying to arrive at the “perfect” one. The so-called “work prints” aren’t especially bad, but they exhibit flaws that...

That’s beautiful

That’s a lovely photo. Well done.

Lovely image. Well done.

That’s a beauty, Merg.

Really nice

Beautiful!

Well, it looks as if this whole thing was operator error on my part. I just gave it another go and was able to attach my cheapish Lumopro softbox to the Speedotron/Chimera speed ring. Timid fellow...

Thanks for the feedback. I guess my thinking was cockeyed, in that I thought strobe manufacturers would make their speed rings compatible with a broad range of soft boxes. I guess Speedotron had a...

Thanks. I had thought that if I purchased a Speedotron speed ring, it would be compatible with many brands of soft boxes. So I was surprised to see “Chimera” on it. I don’t think there’s any way my...

I recently acquired a used Speedotron speed ring to use on a 202vf head. I assumed that the Speedotron-brand speed ring would work with any soft box, but I noticed when it arrived that the ring has...

Well done. I like it.

My first post on this forum. Still life, natural light, Ultrafine VC Elite paper, Burke and James 4x5 RB. I don't recall the exposure.


Excellent!

Very nice!

Oops. Sorry, I didn’t read the post very carefully.

My two cents: I’ve never stored my black-and-white film in the freezer or fridge. I just make sure the box stays in a cool, dry place at room temperature. Never had any problems, or at least none...

I hope Santa leaves a Linhof under my tree.

I took my first trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in early October this year. It rained nearly constantly during my 4 days there, but those conditions resulted in some fun and dark...

I actually like developing sheet film. As someone else said, it’s a zen experience for me. I tray develop in total darkness. I used to play Gregorian chants while processing, but gave that up. Now...

Years ago, I made a lens hood from an empty Tri-X 100 sheet box. After one glass of wine, it’s too complicated to explain, but it involved using the inner, middle and outer box lids to fashion a poor...

That is a beauty! Well dome

When it comes to development time, I just follow the recommendations of the paper manufacturers.

No. 3 for me.

Lovely!
