The Assynt/Coigach area in NW Scotland.
That's an up-side-down boat, a canoe I think.
One from a holiday in March,

This resonates with me, though I like Adam's landscapes a lot, and am drawn to traditional landscape. In recent years I have been more conscious of how much the typical Scottish landscape photography...
I am trying to get an idea of an age of Manhattan Optical no.2 Verastigmat lens. There is very little info out there for this lens other than it being a 4+4 anastigmat. I know it's no later than...
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I can confirm that resoaking the sheets in sodium sulfite clears these stains in just a couple of seconds, so I think I need to agitate vigorously during the...
About a month ago my PyrocatHD (1+1+100 @ 20C) developed negatives (Fomapan 100) started showing red-purplish stains. I am using the Stearman SP-445 tank, and the stains are on the non-emulsion side...
Epsonscan doesn’t do anything SilverFast doesn’t, as much as I dislike SF, Epsonscan is a rather mediocre piece of user interface to the drivers, which I suspect exists primarily for in-house testing...
It’s a bad scanner, if it’s within warranty, chase that up with Epson. Mine has developed this problem across half of the upper scanning light. The light is made of multiple banks of LEDs arranged in...
Just to answer my own question, in case someone else stumbles on this, the wet mounting accessory for the V850 can't be used with the 4990, focusing distance of the V series is significantly greater...
I am no scanning expert, but with SilverFast I scan negatives using the HDR Raw output, I then deal with the curve in post, in my case CaptureOne, which offers far better control then SF.
+1 for secondhanddarkroom, it’s the first place I look for darkroom stuff. Also, if you don’t see what you need on the website it’s worth giving him a call.
To me the morning light provides a nicer distribution of light and shadow teasing out the different tones in the landscape, creating a very rich visual experience. The greater contrast in the...
That is beautiful.
Got a chance to print this one this weekend, 16x20 on Fomapan Variant 112 at grade 0.7, lightly bleached and selenium toned.
...
This is beautiful, love the overall composition as well as the tones.
I just picked up one of these as the transparency light on my V850 has packed it in, and it's proving difficult to get it fixed ... so, the reason the 4990 are going so cheap is that there are no...
It's known to be quite bad for reciprocity, the official data sheet says no compensation up to 1/2s, 1 stop for 1s, 3 stops for 10s and 4 stops for 100s, but that seems a rather odd shaped curve to...
The two main challenges on this day were a steady wind somewhere in the 20mph region and very low cloud base. I am setup on a high ground / ridge where I managed to find a small area of lee created...

I was stuck for a day in our holiday cabin during storm Arwen, so decided to take a closer look...
Exposed to perfection, being able to see the texture on the cotton gloves and the shoes makes it feel very 'real'.
The day after storm Arwen, still quite windy (20mph or so), so the image I recced earlier in the week was not possible, but I found a tiny spot on the Leathad an Lochain ridge that was in a lee,...
Given the humidity around here is usually around 60+%, once a film pack is open, the emulsion will absorb some water, so I only freeze unopened film for long term storage, once a pack is open, it...
Ah, interesting, I was thinking that recently I am seeing fewer of these than I used to, and this could explain it, as I am mainly using PyrocatHD just now with half-strength ilfostop. I'll try the...
I really like the light in your portraits and the grey scale in the skin tones.
I was going to get a second set of slides, but realized the SP-445 slides are so easy to dry this isn't necessary, you can just shake them off, wipe with a suitable cloth and they are ready to reload...
I like these a lot, and I think you are right, they work together as a pair, I think it's the contrast between the detail on the right and the lack of it on the left that makes that work.
I'd not push Foma 400 at all, the datasheet shows it's really a ISO 200 film, and it has rather nice tonal curve when exposed around 200, but I personally don't like the tonality that much when shot...

I have been after this image since the autumn of 2019, but the light wasn't there, and I din't manage last year either. I finally got lucky this year, I really lost all hope that day, but after six...
I’ve switched to the SP-445 recently from handrotating a jobo tank, and it was definitely worth the expense, being able to process 4x5 film using inversion in just 1/2l of chemicals has been...
FWIW, I use Fomadon Excel a lot, never had any issues with it, dissolves pretty quickly, the stock keeps well even in half full bottles made with tap water, comes in 1L quantities and is about 40%...
Thank you.

Make that at least 200 sheets, 4x5 sheet of Foma is $1.20. (Or perhaps 250, the only CF I see on eBay is ~$400, and they will only get more expensive, as is the general trend with all of the analogue...
Beautiful, so well put together, and such lovely colour palette. I'd have never guessed that is Porta 400, I have never managed such lovely green tones with that film.

Oh, why haven’t I thought of that! Thanks.
You are viewing this from the point of view of someone who already has their working shutters. It's now pretty much impossible to buy a shutter, and certainly not one in a working order, if you need...
Beautiful image, I particularly like the detail in the midtones, makes me want to feel it with my fingers.
Mine is 140cm wide and 1m long, I'd not go any shorter than that for my medium height, I used have it at 140cmx140cm, but that was unnecessarily long. I used a blackout curtain fabric that is black...
