I was looking around the site to see whether there was an opportunity to "do" an LF workshop, and noticed its been a little quiet around here lately...anything pending?

I gave them an 055 (one ball bearing) and a 141 (the second) - I got one back broken, and one, lost...MY 410 is still mint after all this time...

trust me, I am clumsy, but I know others who are a great deal worse - did I ever mention the two ball bearings story?

If not, take a look at Linhof and Studio - they have a David Ward (accepted, large format) day coming up - he's another top tutor.

Personally, I tend to accept a 4 stop range. From 0, +/- 2.5 is white or black. So: Allow for the shadows. Meter for the mid to...

Paul (and Lynne) I attended an FSC course some years ago, at Blencathra in the Lake district, and I commend it to you (and your father) The tutor was a widely published photographer - Derry Brabbs - (google him) - a top quality tutor, and a very helpful man. The accomodation was simple but clean, th...

Take a look at the above for info. on MPP, and its free.
Cams are more complicated than you might think, each being tailored to the individual lens...
