I've been giving my new 5x7 daylight tank a whirl lately, and it seems to be performing pretty OK. Much more consistent and scratch free than print drums or trays.

The tulip looks like something from 1930. Very nice!

I was once looking for Black Roses, now I know to get Black Tulips next time. Hopefully the occasion never happens again.

Great image, many are shooting only X-Ray these days.

And all I see are great results like this!

Experiment with yellow filtration - Fuji HRT at ISO 100 Yellow #2 filter. Trying to tame contrast a bit.

Randy, this is a remarkable image.

Thanks Scott. That old chair has found its way into a few of my close-to-home shots

Wow this tulip shot is amazing! It does have an old 30s-40s look to it!
