    Photography in disaster areas/circumstances

    I agree. I avoid taking photographs of disasters unless there is an overwhelming need for it, such as for insurance records. I do not need to record someone else's misery.

    Bridal Falls Provincial Park

    Again another stunning LF format video! Thank you! In the beginning as you walk on the path, it is fun to watch the gravel pop into focus. I could follow your exposure setting much better this time.

    The 2024 Great North American Eclipse

    If you choose to have the time take your smart phone and pan it 360 degrees around you during the totality. Also watch the shadow approach your location and leave your location! It moves extremely quickly and one should make sure to watch for it.

    Tripod head

    I prefer carbon fiber tripods rated at about twice the weight of the camera and heaviest lens. I found that the Induro tripods cost much less then the big names and use the same tripod quick releases such as Swiss Arca et al.

    Can you help me identify this film?

    I had a similar problem a few years ago. I loaded the film on a reel, closed the tank and then looked at the paper from one end to the other. The beginning of the paper told me that it was Rollei film. I suggest that you try the same thing and then examine to length of the paper. Also you...

    Is It Okay To Shoot Someone Else's Art?

    If I want a copy of a work of art, I will purchase it. If I am taking a photograph in a museum, I will take the photograph will any art that shows up in the photograph off axis so that it is not a direct copy of the art works. If there are people in the way or a column or a statue, so much the...

    How and what do you photograph with a super wide lens? I find it so difficult.

    The more that you use it, the more you will learn how to take advantage of it. If you were to take a photograph of a natural rock formation which does not have 90 degree angles or regular forms on it, one would not know that the photograph was taken with a fisheye lens, for example. The same...

    My Certo SuperDolly was circa 1933-35 and it handled 645 and 6x6, but the 645 windows did not line up with today's films, the markings did not show up in its windows.

    Found an old bulk loader at an antique store that has a roll of Tri-X inside. Best way to shoot & develop?

    The air is too dry. Before hanging the film, run the shower, steaming up the room to decrease the film curling.

    How long can I use printing chemicals?

    At a point the developer stops working. That is a big hint. Stop bath with indicator turns purple. That is a brightly colored indication. Fixer fails testing with Hypo Check. That is another indicator. After a while, when one of these goes bad, it is getting to the point that all of them...

    Often complaints about film artifacts are traced back to scanning problems. Any time a method or technique is added to a process, there is a possibility of adding artifacts.

    Things to notice when trading...

    I have never had a problem here on Photrio. Recently I purchased an item that did not work on my camera. I contacted the seller and he told me to return it. The day after he received it, my money was put back into my PayPal account.

    How and what do you photograph with a super wide lens? I find it so difficult.

    Because the SWC is rectilinearly correct, it is much easily to take photographs without the distortion when one takes care to use it with the spirit level. Practice makes perfect.

    Welcome to Photrio If it is air bells, each time a new solution it poured into the tank, thump the tank quickly several times just after the solution if first poured in. I found thumping the tank on a thick piece of linoleum from an art supply store provides the a thump that can move the air...
