Nice, what a convenient mistake!

This, 1000x this

And is very much love to be connected with a iiic! And if one pops up in must-have pristine condition or something close, well, I'd just have to figure it out. We live but only once

Tom you're the best, thanks for the heads up! I incurred an unexpected expense this month and have to put my camera-buying ambitions on hold for a month or two.

Really appreciate you keeping an eye out. I'm very determined to get my hands on one eventually, hopefully sooner than later

Beautiful shot, Alina!

Nice!!

A few more scenes from the Oregon Coast shot on #35mm before I start dealing with what I shot on the 8x10 camera

HP5 pushed to 800 and developed in 510 Pyro

Hey thanks, Adam, I really appreciate that - glad you like them!

Agreed 100%. Definitely a fun scan to zoom into, for sure.

I might actually prefer this shot on #35mm HP5 pushed to 800

Happy #ForestFriday

Shot on 4x5 somewhere near the Oregon Coast

Beautiful shot! Absolutely love that sky

Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you, for sure. Best of luck!

Thanks for the kind words, Bob! Holler if I can help get you started on large format, it's a genuinely rewarding process once you get used to the workflow.

🙏

Great shot, Bob!

Really beautiful shot, love it!

Well that's just terrible news. I'm rethinking all my breathable attire now.

Oh hell yes, thats the look I'm after!

The main spot I've gotten obliterated by mosquitoes worse than anywhere I've ever been was at Trillium. Bites bigger than a quarter, and just everywhere that was exposed. Never experienced anything like it in SoCal.

Lesson learned, head to toe mosquito net.

Hooray, global warming..

Hey, I'll take that! Really appreciate that you checked it out at all, thank you very much!

Just did a few minutes of quick research and damn, I really want to go. That looks like an absolutely incredible place to eat lunch. Thanks for sharing, Randy, this is a really cool one.

Graindrop #14 - Double-Zero Contrast Prints from the Darkroom Investigating the Effects of Selenium Toning on Ultra-Low-Contrast Prints

I turned some low contrast prints purple or whatever. If you're into watching me waste money on expensive paper, then this is the post for you:

Incredible. Would you be willing to divulge the location of this wonderland?

Oh wow, this is incredible. Really stunning perspective from there, too.

Fair enough, we work with what we've got

Stunning!

4x5 Ilford FP4 (I think? My notes got wild) developed in 510 Pyro.

135mm/5.6 @ f/64

Seal rock on 4x5.

Swung the hell out of my front standard to get this one. I wanted the focal plane follow the rock face all the way out to the rocks in the ocean. Pretty sure I nailed the focus. More of a technical test on this one than anything.
