The Queensland Centre for Photography has suffered a total funding cut from the Queensland government. Unless it attracts another sponsor it could very well be forced to close. It looks like the 2014 exhibition programme is in serious jeopardy. Specialist exhibition spaces for "photomedia"...
Sorry I mean after dev stop fix hypo then can you leave overnight in water Sorry late email Yes, it can be done. I discovered this one morning when checking a dozen dry 8x10 negs I'd hung up after processing (non-hardening fixer) the afternoon before. The problem was that the neg count came to elev...

If opinion is so cheap, then I'd prefer to get my own and carry a much bigger camera than your opinion professes me able. I really, really cannot stand the generalisations made here. "The 8x10 is the biggest camera, in my opinion, that a healthy person can carry for many years to many places&q...
"Lachlan717"]A 2 1/2 x 3 1/2" contact is also "…the same size as the groundglass [ sic ] image", as, too, are 4x5", 5x7", 11x14", 10x12", 14x17", 12x20", 7x17", 8x20", 20x24" et al . I'd say all photographs made by contact with a...
Yes, they're good trikes alright. Tricycles have an enduring and recurring presence in the art history of photography. For example William Eggleston's Memphis (tricycle) , also known as Untitled and Big Wheels sold for $578, 500 a little while ago. That doesn't make it any better than Ray Heath's, j...
Maris, Therein lies the crux of the deal for me. I love working with 8x10 EXACTLY because of the continuity of perception.... Walter, your comment reminded me about a point I failed to list. The 8x10 contact is always the correct size. The final size of a photograph contributes to its success or fa...
A friend prompted me to think about why I chose the 8x10 black and white contact photograph as my principle form. This is what I wrote: The 8x10 contact is a canonical form with a deep history in photography. Grievous error aside all 8x10 contacts are technically equivalent; mine, yours, Ed Weston's...
Reverse loaded 120 means the backing paper faces the lens. About the only pictures possible are long exposures of the sun where the sun image burns its way through the backing paper and then into the film. The camera also fills with smoke. I figure the Crossbird/Nightbird/Redbird film is flipped bef...
Backwards loaded sheet film seems to work remarkably well and even image sharpness is scarcely compromised. The anti halation layer can be quite weak and still effective because it gets two goes at reducing light bounce off the film base; once for the stray light going in and again for the small amo...
