Welcome from Hamilton.

Margaret Watkins seems to have used a quarter plate, and full plate camera as well as a 4x5 graflex. Most of the images are contact printed on either gaslight or silver gelatin or palladium papers....

Now this is a test of longevity!

For the factual record, the War Measures act was repealed in 1988 and was replaced by the Emergencies Act. Any government action continues to be subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms...

Welcome! Bellingham has a great photographic history. Home of Beverly B. Dobbs and Galen Biery. And home of Picket House!

I am so sad.

Please ask him his secret. Mother Nature wants to know too.

Any print you make will require a certain number of green light units and a certain number of blue light units. How you deliver these (by time of fstop) separate or together is only a matter of...

It might be worth it for you to start to think about what these filters do. Magenta is a minus green in a subtractive enlarger (like yours) so if you block all the green with a magenta filter and...

Maybe with colour printing but not with Black and White. Neutral density implies that you " soak up equal amounts of three colours in order to use a longer time or a more open fstop. but cyan in a...

Fine grain = hotspot; coarse grain = less sharp image.
Choose one.
Or I have often wondered if a coarse grain could also have a smaller fine grain centre circle.

There should be a switch to go between coloured light and white light, Mine is in the upper right corner of the front face.
Set the cyan at 0 so you can see better while it is enlarging. Cyan is...

It doesn't really matter about your light or about a particular grade. You like the image-good; you don't - then bump up or down the contrast and do it again.

Everything you need to know for single colour grade where times may change with grades or dual colour grades where times may stay the same with grades.
Leave the cyan alone....

I have read this before and I have been thinking about this recently and wonder how that can be so if the filter blocks light whose waves are in one or other plane.

Wow, well done.

Another possibility is a monocle, in reader strength.

I was thinking about the older style non progressive lenses for glasses. If you determined your best distance from the GG under the hood you could have a pair of glasses with the entire bottom half...

I have made an iris blade out of a fully exposed and developed piece of 8x10 film.

I am not sure if I missed this originally but today it struck me as a marvel of composition. the top cut off by the clouds and the curve of the road leaving the picture frame only to come back in...

The best is an unknowable unknowable. But my Commercial Ektar is too sharp for me most of the time; My Heliar gives more of the qualities I look for after the fashion of a 1920's-1930's look. Every...

4 thumbs up for Jose; excellent work and a real understanding of the needs of the issues at hand for each job.

I had your problem as well. after using the drum for years, I changed to using completely mixed developer solution and this happened.. It is a filling problem, not prewash nor rotation problems. ...

Sometimes a Hoodoo is just a Hoodoo.

For me the medium makes a enormous difference. Daguerreotypes are of interest to me, but especially if they are pre 1846, without the preserver.
Tintypes are of relative interest to few although I...

I use a full size Dustbane canister vacuum, not unlike any from the 1980's, and it is barely, not really, powerful enough for a 16x20 easel. Maybe my 1 1/2 inch tubing is too big but it is air tight.

I am pretty sure there are two sizes of 8X10 Deardorff boards vis a vis studio and field version cameras.

MartyNL I expect you are referring to the practice of chokeing down something like a Cooke portrait lens to F8 or 11 to make a Rapid view landscape lens. Yes has been done but you do need the choked...

Or a picture of the lens!

Very cool. I wonder if he served in the civil war. Does the Government have an online list of people who signed up?

Wow that is quite the investigation. I think the dates match well with the clothing as well. The Gigot sleeves of the lady on the right date very nearly to 1890 and onward for about 10 years.

B. no, I don't recognize them but the child could be anybody's boy but almost certainly from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
