Large Format Photography Australia

After quite a few months saving and a few more in correspondence with Bill Maxwell, he likes a chat, my screen finally arrived. I purchased the HI-LUX Ultra Brilliant Matte with grid, for my Shen Hao 4x5. I did some tests while mounting it on my camera and setup difficult light conditions to test th...

Yes to stay on subject, impressed by the range of tones on your pics Maris. Mick I have a large range of lenses from 1926 cooke series iia 15.5 inch f3.5 (a beauty) through hermagis, darlot, jamin, derogy and more cooks and a few ross's to boot, all at least 8x10 capable. All are sacred to me in dif...

Hi walter, apologies if you thought so, but I am not pointing a finger, just find the lack of interaction frustrating. You have a wonderful reference utility here, there is lots of viewings but nobody's talking.

Mick I wish you a good safe and sound trip. Fortunately I have never needed to notch, the double sided xray also gives me an extra boost of contrast, as I said alternative printers love the stuff due to the extra DR. Easier now, just scan the 4x5 image, enlarge to the size you want and print out a t...

Barry I had the same problem with material when looking to patch old bellows and the like. I went into a local material/haberdashery store in Warwick and to my surprise they had some material no thicker than normal polyester which was light tight. It would need some scotch guard to waterproof it, bu...

Barry, I think the famous Jim Galli also uses ortho film a lot.
