i just wanted to say thanks to maurizo and john sheils from this forum. maurizo very kindly sent me a free darkslide when he read that i had bought the wrong type and was unable to get some more, very kind indeed and much appreciated, its nice to know there are people out there with that kind of tho...

i get it:) i had seen a video at some point that mentioned it:) i try to imagine the plane of focus as an infinitely lage sheet of paper, following the same plane as the front standard, and when the front standard is tilted, the plane follows the sheet of paper wherever it goes. :) its the hairdress...

cool got it:) i never thought to use tilt for things like that, but in time i shall have a play about with it. lots of little rules, i like that. i think understanding these things as a pallete of pointers makes it so much more interesting. i shall have to add these kinds of things into my videos:) ...

ahhhhhhhhhhhh amazing!!!! i shall bookmark that:) thats one of the best tools i have ever seen for photography on the net. so useful. yeah i knew i would struggle looking ast depth of field on the ground glass as it needs to be wide open to view decently, and it needs to be stopped down to f/64 to g...

ok so im going to shoot my first astia and pretty much first 4x5 shots on monday. i only have a 180mm lense on a 4x5 im unfamiliar with relative depth of field with different apertures with this camera, and so lets say i am going to shoot between 1 and two metres away from the subject, closely frame...

Dear Frederick Thank you for your Inquiry regarding availability of Astia in the UK.

We would suggest you purchase this film via retailers abroad who may ...

yep - got my fujichrome astia from badger graphics delivered.

20 sheet boxes, expires feb 2012

let the games commence.........

there is actually a video fo me standing on a nail on the day i took it all down. went right through my shoes into my foot. very painful.

yeah i know what you mean perhaps some kind of sliding cover or hatch would work. i think it would have the same benefits as a proper dark room, ie lots more space, not just to fit the film in its holder but also store things on shelves, have various boxes for this and that and also much less heat i...

ha ha:) no but if its large, ill need to move along it rather than try and reach through.

however - you have just named it.

The Kali Darkroom.

i shall do all of that, makes sense. im definitely going to build myself a mini darkroom though. a box maybe 2m by 1m x 1m with some shelves inside it too and maybe 3 sets of arm holes with sleeves.

put it on top of a table and away you go.

i really dont believe in giving in:)

oh i know, it was pretty much a neccesity as its all i could afford right now. but yes all the things you said make sense.

the brush thing is a must with darkslides, and i added to the compressed air by using a hairdryer, great tool:)

Frederick

picked myself up a 20 quid paterson bag. itll have to do me for now:)
