Photo Techniques


Thanks, I'll check. Borders carries View Camera, which B&N doesn't (locally), but B&N carries Outdoor Photography and Borders doesn't. So, I go back and for to the two.

B&N just makes me mad, so I rarely buy anything there. The last time the cashier asked if I wanted to hear about the membership, I pointed out there were two very large banners behind him, one small one around his neck, and various posters throughout the store. If I wasn't aware of their membership by then, I would have to be a real idiot.
 
Speaking of PT mag, PE referred me to a back issue containing an article on VC paper techniques with extensive coverage of sensitometry curves for same.

Can anyone help me identify which issue this was and where to acquire it?

Thank you
 
Murray;

I found it! March/April 2005.

There is also an excellent article in Ctein's book "Post Exposure".

Thanks for all of this talk about Photo Techniques. I had never noticed it before, but after reading this thread I found a copy in a newstand under King and Yonge Sts. It's a good read -- a nice antidote to the all-advert, all-beginner photo mags in the grocery store. Thanks!
 

Sure hope you found the effort worthwhile Ron. Even though Howard Bond is a friend I really do feel the magazine is struggling for content. There is an interesting article on mirror slap this month though

It was barely worth the effort due to all of the digital content but thanks for the thought.

Having subscribed to this publication since the eighties, I am finally not renewing.

Having subscribed to this publication since the eighties, I am finally not renewing......
It was much better in the 80's and 90's. I have subscribed since the early 90's, but sadly will not be renewing. Too much digital, and very little for the film shooter.
 
PE I first heard about it in the eighties when a colleague returned from an American work trip to Rochester, he had a copy.

I wrote to Preston publications and sent a bank draft as I didn't have a credit card. I received my first copy about two weeks later, I was flabbergasted with their speed of reply.

Yes it was available in Australia, but as far as I know only by subscription in the mid eighties. By the nineties, it was in selected big city newsagents, still is I believe.
