esearing, I believe it was Henry Cartier-Bresson.

Excellent. Thanks to you also, j.e.

Robert Shaw, quoted in the original post, was a person of great depth. There is a video of a rehearsal process he led in preparing a chorus composed of choral teachers/leaders from around the country...

Nicely done Bill.

Thanks, Michael, enjoy your Fourth!

I happen to have sodium metabisulfite on hand. I can't remember why; it must be for something I needed to mix up a good while ago, unless someone gave it to me with some other things.

Meanwhile,...

I use a diffusion head on my D2.

As I recall, the recommended lens cone for a 150mm lens is longer than the 3" one for a 135, which is what I have. If were to get a 150, it seems that I could...

Simon, I enjoy the ironies of scale caused by the cloud rendering in the second one. Nice.

Simon, this is a particularly lovely image, and beautifully printed (if it was printed).I am not fan of the wide-angle "look," and it does not force itself on the viewer in this image, although one...

Daniel, that';s pretty fancy furniture it's sitting on for a darkroom!

Enjoy your project.

I was thinking of procrastinating today, but I wasn't sure how that would turn out, so I think I'll get to it tomorrow.

I have experienced the same challenge with my own work in recent years,...

Yes, Steve, but what about the universal aesthetic appeal of my world-class contraption compared with your sponge? It speaks to mankind's eternal quest for creative invention, to advance in...

Perhaps I should qualify my interest in the SmallRig 120.

My interest is B&W natural (as much as possible) light portraits, preferably in 4x5, on location, which frequently means interiors. I...

I have been looking at the SmallRig white light model. I have put away my studio strobes but would like some continuous light for certain situations when I need a powerful light on location. The...

Bryan, I like the top one as well. The choices you made create a kind of metaphor, to my eye, with the emphasis on the jagged edge of the prow and and the sand and rock in the shadow rising up like a...

I don't remember when I heeded a suggestion to replace the stiff rubber "photographic" squeegee I had purchased for my prints with a soft truck wiper blade. It was long ago enough that the item could...

LFLarry, I can;t speak to the salt process, but you may wish to look a bit further into the differences between exposure and development increases. Both increase density, but do it in different ways,...

I'm not sure about the yellow tint you report, but it may suggest weak fixer. The fogged whites could be due to the hot storage and X-ray scan -- checked bags get heavy doses. However, your multiple...

It's quite hard to tell exactly what we're seeing. The blue suggests to me that this is the antihalation layer and that it didn't get washed our sufficiently. But the edge problems may indicate a...

Lassethomas, this is an exceptional fine image, a real pleasure.

Very fine work, Vladimir!

deardorfuser, I like your having the gent holding the bouquet; nice touch that harmonizes with the couple.

John, I'm particularly drawn to the second. It seems to ask the most questions.

Aidan, I'm no lens expert, but my primary concern is portraiture, and I share your feeling about pore-sharp lenses. I'm not looking for such sharpness in my work. I disagree, respectfully, with the...

Lovely tonal complements, Tuco, and the cloud texture is marvelous, sort of like cotton candy.

I suggest checking with Richard Ritter, a forum member, who used to produce these for Zone VI and still calibrates them.

Welcome, Emilio. I'm glad you discovered this forum. Are you thinking of trying LF? Will you be processing your own film and/or prints?

Let us never stop learning. There is much to learn here, and it is for most part focussed on what its title implies, large format, with appropriate allowances for those of us who stray into smaller...

Well seen, Christo. Or, well scene. Both.

Mael, lovely rendering of the light in the first.

Martin, guten tag. It's great to have you joining, and it seems we have had an unusually high number of new members in recent weeks, from all over. This is the place to be for LF. I look forward to...

Having just gotten a mini-fridge off craigslist (thanks, all who suggested), I hit the crisis point of finding that a 1-gallon zip-lock bag won't hold a 100-sheet box of 8x10. I feared that I would...

Mitch, for some reason your photograph reminded me of the ad(s?) Hasselblad ran in magazines long ago, show the special products they used in making their cameras, one of which was rice. I don't...

Welcome, from Virginia. Great to have you.

Welcome, bienvenue!

When you say that you don't have room for real photography, I guess you mean a darkroom. However, You can develop film at a kitchen or bathroom sink (plenty of forum members...

Doremus, you appear to have infringed on my copyrighted trick of failing to include the cited link. My lawyer will be in touch early Sunday morning.

How does that happen? Is there a flip in relative positions at 45 degrees? I'm trying to visualize why that would be the case.

Nice work, Jeannicolas.

What video, please? I don't see a link to one in this thread.
