The Black Locust

A new tree series I started last month...

Great project—looking forward to more in the series!

That's real dedication to LF, Andrew. I take less luggage on a fortnight's holiday than you need for photo . However after watching you make alternative process prints for a while it suddenly struck me that LF in addition to producing prints that are unique may even represent a saving over what the same size Ilford silver gelatin at that size might cost these days

Lots of great trees on the Riverview grounds. Have you seen the tree inventory here?

Thanks for the link. Sadly, some trees are not listed. This is what I use... are bit harder, but lots of info: https://www.sumiqwuelu.com/sites/default/files/media/Documents/Riverview-Tree-Inventory.pdf

I tried the link you sent but for some reason it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I know the PDF your referring to and I have that downloaded as well a little while ago. No need to resend the link but thanks for sending that

Copy the text of the link, don't follow it. I think the URL and description were switched in Andy's post.

Even skipping the trees which are too close to others to get a good view, that is going to be a big project.

If only it wasn't raining all the bloody time!

That worked, I thought I tried that?? Anyways it is the PDF I already had downloaded.

I have to get out to Riverview again soon but the forecast is not looking good

Thank you for the interesting video of you latest adventure.

Checked the forecast last night. Monday called for sun. Got everything organised before bed. Woke up only to find overcast...

If there's one thing you can't count on It's the weather forecast.

Great fun as always, Andrew.


Maybe I missed it in the video, but what is the details of the camera, lens, and film holders? Also, what is the xray film you are using and what EI?

I checked the forecast earlier today ( the accuracy is only good for 24-48 hrs at best). 45 to 95% rain expected all week but maybe there will be an hour of sun so keep the film loaded and ready to go. As Chuck 1 said you can't count on it. Good luck.

The camera was built by me back in 2011 (bellows by Custom Bellows). I used a lens that would give me the widest view on this format...Nikkor 300M. I used Fujifilm HR-U at EI 80. I got the film holder from Sandy King. S&S Film Holders. I only have one as they are just too darn expensive! I need to win the lottery...but if I did, I'd probably purchase a Canham or a Richard Ritter, first!

Thanks. The exponential cost curve is what has kept me out of the jump from 4x5 to 8x10, nevermind ULF.

That's why I can only use XRAY film for the 14x17. HP5 at $35 Cdn per sheet is way beyond what I can afford, as apposed to $1 for XRAY.
