large format to small format

[eddie]

... i want my uber larger format negatives
to look more like negatives from my pen ft or my friend's minox.

If you fold 4x5 film 8 times, it will fit in your Pen. 16 times for 8x10.

If you cut it in pieces, and tape them together, you have roll film. Dude!

So if you want your LF negatives to look like nice small leicinox images, it's easy, just use your enlarger in reverse.
Take your leica screw lenses and put them in the enlarger (backwards if possible, the boquet will smell better). Put your LF negative on the basboard, and feed your roll of film through the negative-carrier. Then all you need to do is set your enlarger bulb in reverse and you're set (it's easier with a colour diffusion head, if you've got one like mine that goes from -150 to 150, then just set it to a negative number to suck photons in backwards).

We don't have an insurance selling meerkat. We have an insurance selling gecko.

We don't have an insurance selling meerkat. We have an insurance selling gecko.

But how does the gecko get confused? Our meerkat gets confused with comparing the market and the meerkat.
If your gecko gets confused with comparing the market and comparing the gecko, then I think it's time to stop drinking the rodinal and developing in coffee, or the other way around. Or substitute the whole lot for booze. Does Tequila work as Blix in a 3-bath E6?

Our geckos sell tires. Insurance, don't be silly.

thanks dr c

ill have to tell jeeves, my butler to do that, im sure there will be questions because we have a point source cold light ( neon ) enlarger
and i don't know if it can go backwards. how do i get the light under the table ? do i have to contact ken kesey ?

im thinking of following eddie's footsteps, selling everything at an extreme loss and just doing thoughtograms.
i know what i want my prints to look like with or without film.
should i call tomokichi fukurai ? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoughtography) )
the meat in my developer ( tofurkey ) stinks!

...d23 1+3 with a half a gram of pyro semistand in a jobo tank with a second bath of amidol and water stop tf4 at 70degrees directly into a ice cold water followed by direct full out hot water from the tap for 10 minutes you're done no big deal...

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

My little Agfa half frame camera might fit inside a 5x7 camera. Take a picture of what comes through the lens, and you won't have to worry about making all this hokus pokus misery. Have you seen the light? Think outside the box, you say? I say put your thoughts INSIDE the box, but where you invent the box.

And enzymes. Or choppers. Or both.

can i get that stuff at my local pharmacy ?
i dont trust the mail
especially with a pyromaniac, do they come cheap ?

===

i just got a pm AND an email from the same person

looks like i have hope
i can get my desired effect ( affect? ) using amporphic lens cells mounted
tangentially and inverted spinning counterclockwise.
made with melted fiestaware mixed with tiffany
glass heated with a centrifugal laser assembly
and then mapped and created through a 3d printer

i don't know where to get this stuff,
i can't use a 3d printers, with my atari computer i currently use on my dialup
can't download "plans" for my lens design either

im getting kind of depressed all this talk of meerkats and gekos ...
maybe i should call gilbert godfried, seeing he sells insurance too
and he owes me a huge favor. he usually talks me off of the ledge
years ago and helped me find my current iron lung ( its his sideline )

i need a bigger tripod i think

Ours do. But they're not really ours, in that they speak with British accents. So they emigrated here, or maybe came on work visas. I say 'they', because there's been at least three. They only live so long, you know.
The first was veddy British, with an upper-crust accent and he drove an old Jaguar- an XK 120 or 140, as I recall. He was not confused- he was trying to end the confusion! He was complaining about getting calls for GEICO (you can see where the confusion originated, I'm sure).
The one now has a Cockney accent. He's a spokes- uhh, gecko for the company, and if he's getting calls for them, he's not complaining...

gilbert's not selling insurance anymore... he aflac'd up...he said something bad and couldn't duck the controversy

$10,000 Deductible? You must be joking.

 

[Shawn Dougherty]

...i heard weston didn't use the betterscanning holders...

 

[removed account4]

what kind of tripod should i get ??
it has to have something like a shelf
pan and rotating axial head, quick release mounts
and sturdy enough to hold a de golden busch 12x20 camera
and lens . its a 1200mm lens.

currently i use 4 evenly spaced slik tripods with a sheet of plywood
but since the house fell on me and i have to get my butler jeeves to do everything
remotely he just suggeseted i get a new tripod / tripods so when my camera falls on him again
he won't get hurt, again. between his workmans compl claims against me and my camera hobby
i wont hav much money soon, and i will have to call gilbert again to trade in my nice iron lung
for a wooden barrel on a big unicolor drum roller

im thinking of mounting the lens on my speed graphic so jeeves can do hand held work
but the lens board isn't big enough for the back lense and my bellows/accordion thingy
isn't long enough how do i get a longer bellows do they sell big lens cone?
can i make it out of paper mache?
maybe if i shoot a smaller format it will look more like minynox

...i heard weston didn't use the betterscanning holders...

jeeves scans everyting for me not sure what he uses
maybe a howlertech? it takes all day for one scan since
he always scans at 96000 dpi TIFF FILES
itold him i only print stuff for the webforums
and the atari can't handle all those dots
but he insists that i have to scan big so the 72dpi image looks good

 

[winterclock]

Well right there is your grain problem.Tell jeeves to scan at 7200dpi with a good fistful of gravel shoved into the howlertech, it will take even longer, but you get very defined grain. It was probably a mistake to substute tofurkey for baloney, if you really need a worse acting developer ham would be the meat to use. As for "glow" you might try scraping the radium from some old alarm clocks, put it in the start bath 100:25:3:47 use distilled water filtered through a goose to bring up the eggstra punch.

You are so wrong winterclock.

If you want grain you must use wheat or oats or other "grains".

If you want to put rocks in your photos you have to join "f64".

 

[winterclock]

Wheat and oats are fine for minox sized prints but if you're gonna go big you need grain with real heft to it.

 

[erikg]

Spelt. Mofo.

If you want to develop in champagne do you have to join Magnum?

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

I prefer my grains to look like quinoa.

 

[removed account4]

i got sick the last times i has spelt and quinoa ..
id be afraid ro have my film or prints grain
resemble them ...


winter
i had jeeves follow the ham instructions but the salts released and
it made a monobath and fixed everything.
the results werent too bad, a bit unde developed for my taste
if you loke 80s music i could describe it as judys tiny head meets bannanarama meets adnreas vollenvider kind of sort of
the attari been scanning since 2am est not sure when it will be done ...


btw its a 20x12 macro of a nostril. i used a 68mm weiwinkle and jeeves extended the bellows
all the way out. through my rear view mirror i saw he used all 10 1200ws heads and all 10 of the glackline speedtron lights, gobos, scrims, gels too, i cant see right now from the flash
and am using a voice recognition software to type this. jeves used the raybans and told me about the film


cant wait to see it as a 3x5 wallet size print!
