Oh nice find!
I found this treasure trove and couldn't see it was posted on LFPF (maybe I fumbled the search)
Costică Acsinte (sometimes spelled Axinte) was a romanian war photographer who, after discharg,...
Larry, Frankly speaking, I MUCH prefer your version and here's why. The studio shot is close the baroque (right diagonal) and in keeping with that it is light and airy, it is intentionally designed...
Christopher, thanks!! I know I still have a long way to go, your image above is wonderful tonally. I feel I've made more progress in the past few months than in the past few years. I love exploring...

This was shot on a Linhof Techno view camera, Schneider Kreusnach 120mm APO ASPH. One light setup. I would greatly appreciate...
The finalisation of one's painstaking efforts is what matters to me, it doesn't have to be a print, but the job must be done, it must be complete and have been completed to the best of one's ability,...
Dear @gambaphoto, Please keep trying, but I strongly suggest a need to slow down and read carefully through the information from the Ilford website, it's really important, don't rush things. It says...
There was a Korean Violinist, Kyungwah Chung in the 50s who held the violin against her cheek in a very loose fashion. Probably the original asian bird with a violin. Might be worth a look, as she...
Wow Jonathan, you've found an instant colloidian process!! Nice image, it really pops.

Nathan, You can order direct from Ilford in the UK. The Harman Express Website.
That's beautiful Galorette ... Alice through the looking glass! I love the way the image in the mirror looks...
Thankyou.
This image the bothered me for a long time before I finally bought the clamp needed to get the camera high enough to remove all the air-con's etc that were higher up. The fact the sink...
Ok, finally got this down. Here's my development process: 125ml of Ilford Multigrade (9+1), 5 mins @ 20'C, constant agitation in a Paterson Orbital. 1-shot process. 200ml water stop, 1 min. 125ml...
Thanks John! Here's the same place about 20 mins earlier (that light suddenly broke through on a rather grim evening).
Chamonix 8x10, Fuji 240A @ F16 on Harman Direct Positive Paper. Not sure what...

Linhof Techno. Rodenstock HR40. About 10mm of Rise
Here in HK we have terrible problems with humidity. Two seasons, hot'n'wet or cold'n'wet. It's sub-tropical. Canon papers seem to resist emulsion bloom better than Epson but I still don't trust it....
I went through a painful experience, going to an IQ160 + DF + Alpa to replace my Nikon and 4x5. I kept my Nikon film body but use a Sony DSLR because DSLRs work around poor talent (I cannot use an...
this is photography and this forum at it's very best!! Thankyou for the insights and sharing personal stories.
Really like the composition here. Very complex, nicely done. I find it needs looking at over and over, from the cloud at the top, then eyes cascade down the image following the water to finally...
That's a stunning image. Beautiful family too!
Had another go today, man the contrast on this paper is fierce! Will definitely need to pre-flash the next ones. Although nothing I'm going to post image-wise, the good news is this:
So using FB...
Here's one on fuji instant film, Toyo 45AIIX.

I took this a few years back, 6x9 roll film on a Toyo 54AII. I actually used a step ladder to get this shot!!

That last one is amazing Bracan!
I had my first attempt today, but underexposed it as my meter can't go low enough and I forgot to double the exposure times! Gah! Night time now, so will try...
Giovanni, I really like this one:

(I just right clicked your large image on your website and said "Copy...
This is lovely David. Have not seen much of this lens character. The focus fall-off is so smooth, buoyant almost
thumbs up to Grandma, god bless her!
bracan, much prefer the back lighting on the latest ones!
4 boxes on the way to me in HK. I already have an 8x10 with 3 holders. One of my 4x5 lenses can cover. The suspense is building!
Hi John, I did find those guys but they have a very limited choice of thin drive belts, seems the world has gone completely towards these toothed belts. I might be able to change the pulleys. Will...
Hello!
I'm trying to find a new drive belt for a Paterson Auto ColourTherm that I use for processing film. The drive belt stretched and I kind of shelved my 4x5 for a while. I'm now trying to get...
Well done, stunning improvement from the earlier one! Love that faint spill to the middle background, really makes it pop.
ok, can clarify it's only RC that has gone back to the drawing board. Have placed my order for FB now.
See this announcement on BJP
:(:mad:
ok, I'll email them again and see if FB is available.
I guess it's ok to post this reply from them to me.
Dear Maris, Do you sell prints?
- Paul
Jim, I believe that's Fanny Cheuk, quite a well known photographer in hong kong. You can find her work here and here
It seems Ilford are not making anymore for the time being whilst they work out some production issues :(
Sounds like a day when many passions came together!! Very nice set!

Wow, tour de force! Love the movement feel like I'm being washed away!
