how can my manual camera be on auto ?

Posted 04-11-2008 at 07:47 AM by jnanian
i have several cameras.
they all seem to have an auto function.
i didn't realize it until recently.
all i need to do is focus, and no matter the
scene, the shutter and fstop somehow
do their thing.
it doesn't seem to matter the camera,
i point the camera and "something else"
that appears on my film.

Sally Mann Exhibit

Posted 04-04-2008 at 03:53 AM by aolsson
A whole group of us went to Helsingborg to see the Sally Mann exhibit.

They had the "whole enchilada" on display - including the pictures from "What Remains" (and even the slightly infamous "Three Graces".

It was very interesting to see the change of technique from the rather straight (modern film, perfect lenses) in "Immediate Family" to the wet-collodion pictures with long exposure and sometimes seriously flawed lenses in the...

Filmdate 033108- Socks and time.

Posted 03-31-2008 at 12:27 PM by JBrunner
Yesterday I realized how much of my life is wasted matching my socks after the wash. So I threw them all away and went out and bought 1 dozen identical pairs of white cotton socks. Now they just all go in the same drawer, and it doesn't matter which two I pick. I estimate saving enough time to make one additional negative every two weeks. I am constantly in awe of my own mental prowess.

making wet-plate holders

Posted 03-27-2008 at 08:43 PM by TheFlyingCamera
well, I finally made my wet plate holder. I have a home-brew holder made from an 8x10 film holder- I got out the Dremel and cut the hole in the septum for the plate, glued in my corner supports, and made a pressure plate that can go between the darkslide and the aluminum plate with the emulsion on it.
