Re: Svalbald
f you are taking your LF camera, you need to work quickly, or you'll end up as I did, with them scurrying off just as you're focussing on them under the darkcloth! Have you considered liberally coating a plank of wood with super glue and then placing a suitably tasty morsel nearby? Just a thougt. :...

Re: Tripod dust protector
My tripod gets no such mollycoddling! A bit of dust or scuffing never hurt any tripod - in fact, a few signs of wear are a badge of honour.but it does stop dust and scuffing when in my boot.

Re: Epson V750 vs Imacon 949
Might be....that means you do the spotting yourself but get a 16bit 4000dpi file.. Would anybody be interested?

Re: Epson V750 vs Imacon 949
Managed to get my example working on the other post but thought I'd copy it here.. Obviously there is a striking difference at full res when viewed on a computer monitor but would this be anywhere near as marked in an A3 print? Or even an A2? I'm not so sure. I think it makes much more sense to com...

Re: Why film
I do have an inkjet printer and whilst it produces very good results, they don't have that visceral punch that a good fujiflex lightjet print does. Agreed. And a well-printed Cibachrome beats both. But for truly astonishing colour, dye-transfer beats them all. It's sad that it's more-or-less a dead...

Re: Why film
Be interested to see some directly into sun shots compared with similar film shots? In my experience the colours go wierd around the clipped area as different channels clip at different points. RAW converters try and fix this but can't get that smooth colour transition through to clear film. I'm ha...

Re: Why film
digital slams against them like a 10 ton truck against a brick wall. Not every digi, Tim. The Sony A900 does a pretty good job of degrading gracefully into blown highlights. It's one of the reasons I went for it over the 5d Mk. 2. Regarding film vs. digi... LF is just, well, more fun to be honest. ...

Re: fingerprints
Whilst I always try and avoid getting marks on the film in the first place, I find that the odd fingerprint simply doesn't show up on scans. It may well be a different story with darkroom printing, of course...

Re: The Election Project
Good link. At a guess, it looks like a 45S.
Anyway, more to the point was his darkcloth. Somebody should tell him that 'horse-blanket' darkcloths are so passé, dahhling.

Re: River Orchy, Glencoe
It's a really lovely shot but I feel that cropping off the fir trees in the BG, even though this means losing the tops of the small trees, would strengthen and tighten the image overall.

Re: 2 down the river
I agree with Nigel but I can't help thinking that the second image might not have been better off as a vertical shot with the line of boats running right across the frame. The picture is very left-dominant and there is little of interest on the RHS. I love the reflections and tranquil atmosphere, th...

Re: Flying with tripod in hand luggage?
I think the bods manning security might not like to see something which could appear, on the x-ray, to be an offensive weapon. Expect a bag search at the least. That said, I also put my 'pod in hold baggage, padded with clothes. Never had a problem yet. I have had a few queries about my camera, thou...
