Hi Briony, The second photo definitely looks better to me. Though I also find it tricky to get the right level of sharpening - I think there is a trend to use lots of sharpening (which can distress me a bit as it can look so unnatural coming from slide background). Wearing glasses can be...

Don't you worry your pretty head over it! ;) Seriously, I have a friend who sends me bloody angels and happy thoughts every day and I've just not had the courage to tell him to eff off. I know how irritating it can be to have the same thing pushed at you again and again and would hate to...

Oops, sorry if it's a well known one - it was new to me. Time for your say - funny or old news?

"I was stealing your images and you took them down...." I enjoyed :lol: and wanted to share.

I have a set of chemicals for processing E6 slide (about 60 films worth) and some for C41 - free to a home that will use them and come to Cambirdgeshire and pick them up. That would be an extremely cheap way for some processing. Got my chemicals from First Call photographic supplies - and...

caught his wallet more like!

Just ordered one :D

They've come out really well. A good test of lens and teleconverter. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, slightlytriangle, very kind of you and welcome to the forum!

Got A3 printer and permajet photo acetate "paper" to make my fake contact negatives... then as you say it's a case of wall space. Think could do traditional process by enlarging onto lith film to use as contact negative but still not gotten my head around that one :help:

Making a garage light tight isn't too bad. I found when I closed the door and sat in the gloom, the light came in around the garage door and the asbestos roofing. I light proofed mine for about £40 using blackout material from ebay and cheap wire curtain clips from ikea. Hung huge "curtains"...

Certainly the book talks about using a UV lightbox as an alternative to the sun. However you still need a contact negative (like an A4 acetate) and so can't "enlarge" from a normal film negative like a darkroom enlarger - which is how I interpreted donutagain's question. So, for me, Bob's...

Got mine from retro photographic who are great and have a whole bunch of old process chemicals.

I like the idea of heading off to a river with my prints. I've read that 8 washes might work. Somewhere I'm sure there's some maths I could do to confirm it.
