Large Format Photography Australia

If your looking for a cheap option I would suggest buying a $20 rectangular plastic filter set off ebay and just holding them by the corner against the lens when making an exposure. It works just as good as any other setup minus the ridiculous price tag. It makes me feel stupid for buying such an ex...

Thats a good question alexn, possibly easier to answer if I had an example or something to go by. I'll try help the best I can. Modern b&w film doesnt react to development changes as much as it used to 80 or so years ago. I use t-max exclusively and I find that you can only build up density in y...

Glad to hear mighew, the more the merrier. Does that make 5 now?

Cheers Maris for the checklist t'was very kind of you - if you dont mind me asking.. have you exhibited in Brisbane before? If so which gallery and how was it? Hey Alexn where did you get your work scanned and printed? Right now I use Brisbane Digital Imaging for drum scanning and Prolab for fujifle...

A good thing about QCP is that everything from floorplan to prices is up on the website...something not so good is that its a popular gallery for upcoming artists so it may be difficult to get our proposal noticed. I...

Alexn, medium format is fine, if you were going by cubic cm of film size I would consider 6x17 pretty much large format anyway haha. I haven't done too much research on galleries but QCP seems an excellent contender due to its great facility and specific allegience to photography.

ol' bilbo is at it again! On a semi related note I saw a landscape piece of his at GOMA and it was ridiculously dark to the point that it had lost alot of detail...not sure what he was going for with that print...

For me, the thing with art I find is either there's often a case of "the emperor's new clothes" or I'm missing something and I'm actually a Philistine. I'm not sure which is it. And particularly with this example, now I know how he's gone about creating his art, it would make me wonder ab...

I thought it was good marketing that he has managed to sell even one of his photos.
