Pieter12 Would you have taken the one above if the girl in the middle didn’t have her finger in her mouth? Nice

cowanw said:One of the limitations of photography is that every photograph needs a subject, usually a single identifiable point of interest. IMOP not necessarily. Sometimes more than one "subject" work together ie juxtapositions. Arms and Legs http://www.jeffreyglasser.com/...

2 more cents. To me chaos is a lot of scattered order. See don’t look.

Horatio Best of luck and have fun. Just a funny aside: a number of years ago I was wandering around one of the most popular art fairs held here at the U of M. I came across a friend who was a very good photographer. He used the finest equipment, had a fully equipped darkroom that he never used...

The problem was that tiny particles of paper had collected and was causing occasional black areas on the borders but never on the image. I mostly printed on cotton papers. He suggested putting the platen on “widest” to prevent that from happening. So far so good. He cleaned everything up and...

To me a good effective print no matter the technique or materials is the goal. I print analog and digital from film, scanned film, pt/pd from film, enlarged film negatives and digital negatives. I use film cameras, digital cameras and pinhole cameras. Each has its own characteristics. I was...

Wasn’t the old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words “. Now we’re talking about numbers. 😵‍💫

Some years ago during a trip to Italy we were in Milan and accidentally happened on to the “Genesis” exhibition. We hit it just right and didn’t have to wait long to get in. Quite a production. I forgot who was the the printer of the large prints.

I don’t know how or if you print but why not print or have printed one of the open f stop and one of the closed down f stop negatives of the same subject having focused both the same way you normally focus and compare perhaps with a magnifying glass If you have more than one lens do the same...

After you are satisfied with the suggested remedies and still have the problem you may consider that the camera lens is the issue. Years ago a photographer friend of mine had me photograph him and his wife with one of his cameras. After he developed the film he told me I had not focused any of...

Another old one from Delta 400 120. Just for fun the SURPRISE is for the pigeon about to be caught?😳. Location was Rome. http://www.jeffreyglasser.com/ http://www.sculptureandphotography.com/

I’ve traveled many years with only one film. Either Tri-x or Delta 400 I take two identical bodies. One with a wider lens and the other with a longer lens. No chance of a mixup and most often the same meter setting. I prefer to keep it simple and concentrate on the subject. I don’t have to...

albireo Also check out Mario Algaze. Mario was a friend of mine and I actually printed a limited edition series of four of his favorite images in platinum/palladium/gold for him. there are only a couple of books of his photographs but he is considered one of the best for documenting Latin...

I'm not sure these are a surprise but they were certainly unexpected. Very old approximately fifty years but a very memorable and delightful experience. During a trip to Spain and Portugal I had heard there were large sand dunes at Torreira, Portugal. At the time there were only two streets...

I’ve been making pt/pd prints for some time now getting quite nice results from 4x5HP5 especially developed in pmk pyro, enlarged negatives from Delta 400 120 on to dental X-ray duplicating film as well as Pictorico (with my 3880) with the Pictorico I make a tritone that mimics the pyro. Just...

If the institution or group you make arrangements to obtain the photos has an exhibition facility an interesting idea would be to photograph some of the sites that have been redeveloped with significant new structures. The originals and new displayed side by side. Enlargements can be made and...

I just recalled how to adjust. Remove the batteries adjust with the back screw to have the needle to green spot. Best to cover so no light enters.

When the light is bright mine reads beyond 12 on the upper scale and when I push the lower button the dial will go to a higher number on the bottom scale. When moving the battery check it moves to the red spot. There is a calibration screw on the back. I forgot exactly the best way to calibrate...

ggray79 did you happen to see the moon smiley face last night from BB ?

Correction Zafra

I used only b&w Take the polarizer but I don’t think you need it. I used no filters except when there were some light clouds and then used a light orange which was just a bit more than a yellow and slightly helped the green folliage. Check the moon position because it can be very bright and...

PS they gave me a digital frame that they email pictures to that plays them as a slide show. Even with background music.

My guess is that sometime in the not too distant future my grandchildren with Ai technology will dictate into their phones what they see and how they would like it printed and maybe framed. It would be Wi-Fi’d to their home system or maybe to a service that would make a finished product and then...

Old but not too old: Agava 4x5 Hp5, Thorns Ilford Delta 400 120, Smiling Shopping Bag also Delta 400. Negative scans prints for the agava and thorns are pt/pd from enlarged negatives on 11x14 paper too large for my scanner.

I don’t use “sodium platinum “ I buy separately platinum solution #3 (potassium tetrachloroplatinate 20percent), palladium solution #3 (sodium chloropalladite 15percent), ferric oxalate #1 and #2 and also gold chloride 5percent. If you wish to try my brew: in drops for a 7x7 to 10x10 print -...

Three more oldies: Reeds original on trix printed on Agfa Brovira 5, made a paper negative went back and forth to eliminate grays . Old car rear window and trunk on Ilford Delta 400. Goosenecks also Delta 400 cropped to reduce the sky and some foreground

She may not want to live on this planet anymore but I recall a sign in Modica Sicily that said “save the earth it’s the only planet known to have chocolate “ 😛

I wonder if carrying a changing bag would be accepted by security to open and feel the contents of a box of sheet film.

I also don't think the size matters but rather how the gallery groups them. My last solo exhibition had prints ranging from 4x5 pt/pd prints and other size images up to 6ft. To me it is the composition and treatment of the subject that really counts. exhibitions have varying purposes from...

Relatively new from Jan and Feb all on Delta 400 120. Negative scans slight cropping and minor contrast boost. 1 succulent, 2 palm frond and 3 (not what you might have been thinking at first glance 😳). exposed roots of a large Gumbo Limbo tree in my yard :).
