This kind of image should not be allowed in the galleries. It's just too damn cute and makes me want to have one.

Beautiful! The gold-coloured tones surrounding her... it reminds me a bit of Klimt.

Haha. Only the very finest accommodations for me. What is that, provia in non-5000 K light, Eric?

I like! Very interesting. How was it shot?

For negs I usually treat 3.5 as 4, so as to err on the side of slight overexposure. For slide, I treat 3.5 as 2.8, so as to err on the side of slight underexposure. You can of course also change the EI just a bit to compensate, as needed. Don't sweat the petty details, and don't pet the...

Engineers (and scientists) are now in ever higher demand and are thus commanding higher salaries than ever before. In the US and many other western countries, there has been a big drop in the number of STEM students (STEM= sci, tech, engr, & math) and that is now catching up to us. Suddenly...

Really beautiful and so creative!

I see them come up on ebay all the time, and also (less frequently now) at KEH. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mamiya-RB67-RB-67-Pro-SD-65mm-f-4-KL-Lens-Excellent-/230760348609?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item35ba637bc1#ht_500wt_1383

I actually did have one [good] day there and I just enjoyed driving through. I spotted some lichen in a tree and that was my best shot. I'd say, don't chase epic shots or try any grand tours in such a short time; just pick a spot that feels right, enjoy what you see and let your instincts...

LOL ...my format is larger than yours... Don't fuss over definitions. You can't mat, frame, and sell a definition; nor will it bring you artistic fulfillment.

How about doing a clip and deciding for yourself?

Various versions of this discussion have been had here before. If you were comparing to the non-ULD version of the 50, I would say go with the 65, which I adore. But the 50 ULD is very special. If the ULD is in your budget, I'd say go for it. As someone with 3 RBs, I got an RZ specifically...

Very nice! Congratulations, you've discovered the secret- it's actually not very hard. Smart people made it pretty easy for us to get nice results without too much fuss.

But Bob I shoot on plates and paper too, and that's not film.... :blink:

:whistling: Trust me you're gonna like the Horsemans or Linhofs :) The mini-view cameras are lots of fun. P.S. Sorry, the linhofs are way out of your stated price range and the Horseman VH probably goes for ~$500 or so.

I call it photography.

Main difference is the grain. HP5+ has the "traditional grain" which usually produces higher edge contrast and sometimes higher apparent sharpness. I usually say that hp5+ has a certain "bite" to it that lends itself to edgier compositions. Compare it to Kodak's tri x. The Delta film had...

Great to hear, i look forward to trying some. How did you develop it, two bath...?

Cosina does fantastic work on behalf of Fuji. I have one of their cameras and have fondled many others. Great products, and often quite innovative.

Aspirin.

I'll just insert my thoughts. If the largest consumer of base goes under, then sure, the base price will go up, but not catastrophically. It's not like Kodak stops making base and *poof* no more base available in the world. On the contrary, the demand is still basically there- remember that...

+1. I think this approach is really key to obtaining an optimal result. Just as is the case with precisely judging focus, you won't know if you're right on the mark until you go a bit above and below the mark and compare. Particularly for FB paper, due to all the ways that drydown and texture...

Let me just make one point in case it isn't obvious. The quantity of water in your "bain" is key. If you use a small heater or a small amount of water, the temperature will drift more quickly or be more susceptible to variation when you put a container in. So, to be safe, you want the "bain"...

Welcome! You are with friends.

I haven't had time to read through the whole thread but I'll just add my thoughts, which probably merely restate someone else's, somewhere above! I think having time to set things aside and then reconsider them is very important. I would suggest making contact prints at a few different...

We really should start a full-service APUG lab. Everybody buys in for $100 to get the place fully outfitted, then the processing price goes to materials + some basic wage + s&h. All very transparent and easy to manage.

I have been using a food service warmer....

Oh I didn't mean to imply anything negative about the nice interview :) It was just painful to hear about the many management errors and miscalculations....

Nice work Scott and Ron! I made it through about 80% of it before I wanted to stab my eardrums. informative but rather disconcerting!

This is really wonderful!
