I am surprised that some of my colleagues are throwing in the towel so easily ;) Nicholas is probably right, it may be fine even as is. I'd make myself a simple dodge tool (=rough cut paper straight edge) and keep it moving about that boundary. Looks like one portion needs ~0.5-1 stops or...

Let me attempt a different strategy in defining a great photograph... by trying to define the task of the photographer. Fundamentally, I think that a photographer seeks to develop unique insight into the subject. That is what most distinguishes a photographer from someone who is merely...

Without going into much detail online, let me just say that the organization that runs Swannanoa is very difficult to contact and we're doing our best. As of now, we know that we have Friday for sure, and I am going to try to get Thursday. I don't think we can get Wednesday there though.

Tentative Schedule Alright, Richard and I have conferred and here is The Plan! Stay in Touch! In order to keep communication simple and reliable, I ask that you please PM me individually with this info: your phone number, your email address, your expected arrival time, and where you'll be...

It may be blazingly obvious, but consider how you plan to present your work before the customer. Under glass or not? Will people be looking at something hanging on a wall, or will they be handling the raw prints or matted prints? My own feeling is that nothing beats a fiber matte print in the...

Sounds like you really need to take some portraits of him!

Tom, there isn't an official beginning per se... I'll probably be out and about on Wednesday too. Folks are welcome to come Wed and stay through the weekend or whatever- I'll be doing all manner of stuff, as will Richard. The weather has been dull and that may well continue, so we'll just...

Hell, APUG is a great site indeed. Welcome.

Good stuff, well done!

I have an 8x10 poco, it dates to about 1903 and has very limited movements... actually, it only has the shift and tilt necessary to fold the thing up. It folds up into a nondescript and lightweight box with a double-convertible lens inside. I think I paid ~$150 for it.

Hi Ralph, it's a typical silicon photodiode response. The CdS cells have less IR response but are nevertheless peaked in the red, as I recall.

Cool!

fp4+, hp5+, tri-x, foma... And I do wish people would stop attempting to make every thread about their own little niche of knowledge and opinion, frankly that's why I gave up on RFF entirely: the bullshit to fact ratio was excessive. This was a very simple question about tonality. Give the...

To do this right, with full confidence, you'd have to take into account the sensitivity spectrum of the meter, the transmission spectrum of the hot mirror over the meter's cell, the transmission spectrum of the filter, the sensitivity spectrum of the film, and finally... the spectrum of the...

Some plastics are transparent in the IR, maybe also down into the near-IR. I don't have my horseman any more but I recall that the bellows were not leather, they were some sort of thin (almost papery) synthetic material. Of course, the sensitivity of IR films currently on the market is...

Thank you Matt, you are very kind.

Yep sometimes I just spot meter through the filter, comparing values with and without the filter for a reality check. Not that the discrepancy can vary depending on whether you're aimed at the sky or a neutral grey object or your foot or....

1) Try fp4+ and tri-x. My own favourite of the 'oldies' is panatomic x, which I have in fair quantity but it is now discontinued (except in extended red versions that come in aerial recon sizes) and has become quite rare. Anyway, for starters, you might check out the foma stuff on freestyle...

I used to have some horseman bellows that were not IR-proof.

Not sure what you mean; maybe you could post some examples in the gallery.... ;)

A filter factor is just a rough recommendation based on some assumptions about colour temp of the dominant light source and a typical film's spectral sensitivity. If you can meter TTL then by all means do it. But even that is no guarantee: ultimately, you have to convolve the meter reading...

Fuji 160s. Try Reala as well... although I only see it in 220 as "reala ace" on the megaperls site.

I use the screw-on shades with my rb and rz, they are fine. They get the job done at low cost.

Haha, yeah, I'll play with the digital back privately ;) Michel, after this weekend, Richard and I will have some time to write up the full details, day by day, giving times and locations for everything. We'll post that info here. It sounds like we're going to have a fair amount of show and...

Lovely reduced palette of strong colour.

Like a pair of eyes, a beast lurking in the grass... an impression that could be pushed further with a clear foreground subject. Very nicely done!

I understand where 2F and John are coming from ;) Marko recall that I advised you to get an F100 ;) That advice still stands. An ex-F5er myself, I simply question whether the F5 is the right piece for you (based on what I have seen of your work). The F5 is a machine gun and you are a natural...

Show us!

Aww, the blossom is shy! Beautiful, porcelain tones and I like the light source in this case, it comes across (to me) as quite modern in feel.

Wein = 'vayn' and Wien = 'veen' but... almost all english speakers I know call them both 'ween'... e.g. they pronounce Weiner 'weener'... ach du meine Güte :rolleyes:
