Re: FOR SALE: 4X5 Film Holders

Or, 50 holders for a box of 100 Ilford FP4 or HP5!

Nice lot there, if only these were available around 30 years ago when I was looking for some more film holders. And yes, those film holders, of which I have some, are very nice to use.

I'm thinking.......

Re: Serviceton Railway Station

Maris, yes it is a very long railway station, apparently the longest one in Victoria, perhaps Australia; I don't know. As for the platform, that is very long and these days is mainly used for weddings, corporate meetings and train enthusiasts gatherings. The kitchen still has a few items from the la...

Re: Serviceton Scorers Shed

Kind words there Maris, but I agree, it was pretty much the only interesting thing there. I used portrait mode, hence the 28mm front rise. The idea was to include the light tower, but it didn't really work out as I had imagined, so I cropped very heavily and presented it in landscape mode; which was...

Re: Heath Tips in Snow

Very interesting picture, at first glance I thought it was after an avalanche and I was seeing the tree tops; it's almost like that but on a much reduced scale. You have selectively chosen an interesting titbit to show, nothing like an enclosed landscape, or is that snowscape, to get one's imaginati...

Re: Photo Booth, Customer Line-up

An action packed photo, especially with the fella wearing sunnies is turned towards the camera, while everyone else is facing away and making him the centre of everything. For a blind exposure, you timed it perfectly. I'm wondering whether the pictures people are getting are wet prints, or via a pri...

Re: Vines in Franklin

Alex, this looks interesting, however when I click on the image to see a larger view, I'm redirected to a site where the image is 12-13 MB or something like that. As I'm running on a mobile phone set-up at the moment, I pulled the plug. Any chance of a smaller version hosted on this forum, for viewi...

Re: Framed ambrotypes

I've been away and these turn up when I return; what a stunning effort, with stunning results.

As for the frames themselves, they would be nothing without their internal art you've created.

Re: Contorted Snow Gum, Mt Wheatley

Maris, another excellent use of the super wide focal length for the format.

That back swing, certainly appears to have done the trick. Something more often used for walls on buildings, rather than for walls of nature.
