    Printing a sky - What would you do?

    Or Split Grade Printing: First bet the best print with the magenta filter only. Use that magenta exposure to add only the yellow filter to get the best print possible. Then based on the magenta exposure and the yellow exposure, start burning and dodging.

    Should we start a new photographic movement?

    Much better than having my photographs ripped off from downloading. The stealing costs me money and that is worth much more than the opinions of those that will only believe something if they see it on the internet.

    Is San Francisco really that bad?

    Now to get around San Francisco I can use the Clipper card which covers Muni, Cable Cars and Bart. You can download and use the app on the iPhone, but to get senior rates one must go to the Embarcadero or apply about 2 weeks ahead by filling out a form on the internet and mailing it in.

    I love it - the Nikon N80

    Evidently except for the HIE I can use the N75 and N80. I am definitely getting my money's worth I invested in Photrio.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    No, you are wrong. Go read Ron's posts and you will see that they are backed up by scientific research at Kodak. It also prevents color crossover.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    I am aware that Ron Mowery, PE, advised using stop bath for the C-41 development process. Thank you for posting that for others to see and learn.

    Boring Portrait Series

    I can see that a group of headshots with everyone looking straight forward like they are at the DMV or getting a passport photograph would get boring.

    I love it - the Nikon N80

    The manual focus lenses need to be hand focused. I use the previous lens to set the aperture on the f/2.8 PC manual focus lens and watch the change in the light meter output to see if I need to adjust the aperture after moving the lens off axis.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    Good finally a direct answer why stop bath is used in one situation. Other reasons one way or the other, please.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    If as you posted using water is so effective, why was so much money used in research and development for stop bath, as though there is no purpose for stop bath. There is a logical disjunction.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    Water stop bath is not stop bath, it is water used instead of stop bath and that is the heart of the discussion.

    I did not say that the British Museum was no worth visiting. It is worth visiting, but if one in interested in collections of art, there are better places to go in London.

    Testing an old Nikonos for watertightness

    O rings and Nikonos grease is not all that expensive. O rings wear and also get compressed just from having the lens in place.

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    So when a new method or product has be inverted, then one should never use it because it was never used before, right? 😕

    Stop Bath.. How important?

    But that does not stop the film development nearly as quickly as stop bath. Why would Kodak, Ansco and many others spend large amounts of money of R&D research for stop bath. Are you saying that they were addlepated?

    Discard Negatives ??!!!

    Ignorance can be bliss, at least for a while. My ex-mother-in-law would throw away the negatives before looking at the prints for decades. After my ex-father-in-law died she came to me crying that the photograph of him in her wallet was badly worn and wanted me to fix it. That was way before...

    Consider the F100, with your experience I think that you will enjoy the camera more with those lenses.
