You have the advantage, Charles. I received my French education in the mountains of the Ardeche rather than at the Sorbonne! Clearly you appreciate the importance of defining one's terms, so you'll also forgive (I hope) if I appear to backtrack a little for the benefit of precision. I have 'captured...

If I have one problem with this kind of discussion it's that I find it hard to resist. I feel like Snoopy watching his dinner arrive ... grrrrrh. Blame it on a Fine Arts degree. And the truth is I wish I had studied Design rather than Fine Art and the accompanying philosophy. On the one hand, 'art' ...

Anyone got a Whole Plate DDS sitting unused in the trunk in the basement?

Autumn is acomin' and I'm feeling the urge to build another camera; and the sheet film holder is the starting point, but Whole Plate this time.

Any condition considered.

Eeeuwww ... would be a sad thing indeed if the NEW Cotswold Water Park stretches from Taunton to Oxford.

S'allright, Aynsley, I'll bring me Thermos.

PS ... if it's a weekday, then Friday's the only one free here. A Saturday is preferable.

Tea shops? TEA SHOPS ???

Puh-lease ... I need Starbucks.

if you can add and subtract numbers between 0 and 10 then the world's your oyster etc...

That's actually about my limit.

I'm sure there was once an article in Black & White Photography on digital lith, but I've no idea when. This version (I'll take it down anytime you like) I converted to Greyscale and then whacked up the black in Curves. Then a Duotone, then Add Noise, then Surface Blur, and back to RGB. That's a qui...

Could these be suitable candidates for lith printing?

Aye, we certainly have wild and wonderful castles around here, but not many LF photographers live at this end of the M4. Kidwelly Castle (near Llanelli) Zeiss Ikon Ideal 6x9. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a119/Sandeha/llanelli/th_070617_neo4_ide_04_copy.jpg Carreg Cennen Castle (near Llandovery)...

South Cotswolds sounds very doable for a day trip. Any month in mind?

Excellent. Now that I have my SSGGs, my only excuse is the weather.

There's a glue used by dress makers for sticking beads and sequins onto fabric ... CraftSmart Gembond . This is the best I have found for sticking leather or cloth onto metalwork. It's secure, even for vulnerable corners, but it lifts off very easily for repairs. I've used it countless times when fi...

Well, if I'm ever in a hurry I'll try these guys next ... Brilliant Ground Glass

Well ... it was worth the wait. Dave apparently sent my order at least twice to no avail - nothing arrived and nothing returned to him.

But at last they're here ... I now have a fresh set of 5x7 and 4x5 glass to play with. Ironically this final USPS package took a mere 7 days.
