I say toss him out!

The holders are from a 4x5 dip and dunk development tank. Although, I use a Stearman Press 445 tank for developing but I found the holders are great for drying negatives.

Thanks to @TadTadd on YouTube, I learned why I’m getting blank frames with my Mamiya 330.

A cold and rainy day = darkroom time.

In my small darkroom I use an under the bed storage container as a way to protect against spillage and drips. The dimensions are around 29”Lx15”Wx7”H. All 3 - 8x10 trays fit perfectly. The wash tray sits on an adjacent countertop.

I shot film yesterday and I’ll shoot it again today!

Thanks for the suggestions !!

Since I already have a Zenza Bronica S 6x6 and the Mamiya 330, I’m more interested in either the 6x4.5 or 6x9.

Your blog post has me intrigued. I’ve been looking for a medium format camera that’s relatively low profile. Where is the best place to purchase a good folding cam? I visited NatCam today, and didn’t see any good options. What they currently offer seems pre-1940s, mostly Kodak.

That’s the Oval Office right there.

Beautiful portrait! I love the light.

When you achieve even borders please let me know your secret. I can relate.

Love this!!

2/2 When I go out to shoot with the 4x5 or TLR, I sometimes drive around, looking for inspiration for an evening without exposing a frame. I've likened it to a fishing expedition. Sometimes you don't get a nibble. Other times you hit your limit.

Thanks for the blog post, Tom. I feel that over the past 10 years I've been fine tuning the style that I have for my portrait clients, and I'm happy with the latest results. When it comes to personal photos (a.k.a. what I want to print or hang on my wall) I feel ungrounded. 1/2

June in Grand Marais Harbor. The Elegant Sunburst Lichen (Rusavskia elegans) is ablaze in the setting sun.

Another 6x17 shot in Grand Marais, MN located on Lake Superior. I used a Shen Hao 617 Graflok back on my Shen Hao TZ 45-II B. Ektar 100, lab developed, DSLR scan.

It's just a personal feeling, but I'm not convinced America did actually vote for this. I think Elon was up to some fuckery with voting machines. Unfortunately, we probably won't see an investigation providing proof any time soon, since they're replacing everyone in the FBI/DOJ with loyalists.

Can we all agree to rebrand February 14th as "Saint Oscar's Day" and celebrate by buying ourselves a camera.

I’m in Burnsville.

BTW, I'm located in the Twin Cities.

Haha! I just acquired starter from a friend, last week, and baked my first loaf today.

A sliver of a small island surrounded by blue water and blue sky. The island is made of Basalt stone and glows red, with patches of bright orange in the sunset. Small, bright green trees contrast the warm stone.

First post on Bsky. This is the sun setting on Gull Island located in Taconite Harbor on Lake Superior, Schroeder, MN. The contrast of warm and cool caught my eye.

Haha! This photo makes me not feel so bad when I’m considering, yet, another lens for my 4x5. 😆

What a great video! Thank you for sharing. Do you have any f-stop timers for sale?
