Large Format Photography Australia

Under-exposure and thin negatives are not necessarily related at all times.

The tripod and head that would have served your 8x10 Cambo well have sold.

That said; I believe that photography may be an artistic endeavour but 'ART' is an epithet bestowed by the world upon works that are found worthy. Up to thatr ...
