Keep in mind that the <a href="../learn/film/open-letter-to-film-users/index.adp">¡VivaFILM! project</a> has only been up for 48 hours or so. Plenty more to come.</p><p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=686984">Jonathon Reynolds</a> - Developing b/w film without without a proper darkroom<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=321228">Daniel Bayer</a> - Building a darkroom<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=770855">Brendan Hohls</a> - Getting a group together to talk about film in your local area<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=1894291">Doug Grosjean</a> - Guide to swing lens photography<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4296659">John O'Keefe-Odom</a> - Camera as enlarger<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2070600">Bruce Cahn</a> - Setting up a wooden field camera<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2381463">Rishi Sanyal</a> - Advanced scanning<br /> <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2233267">Tim Gray</a> - Using Vuescan</p><p>Now, don't hold them to anything. They are all busy guys doing this out of the goodness of their heart and I'm sure the articles will be written as soon as everyone has time. But if you have any interest in the project or these articles, please drop them a line of encouragement. I myself will be working on a few film photographer interviews and of course more <a href="../columns/joshroot/filmtown">Filmtown</a> articles.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janne_moren Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 <p>Just the titles make me want to read half of them already. Wish I knew more so I could contribute.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matroskin Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 <p>as someone who recently switched to film (without prior experience in the medium), i'm looking forward to reading all the articles. thanks everybody.<br> Josh, where are they going to be posted? and are you going to create the film.photo.net page?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted May 9, 2009 Author Share Posted May 9, 2009 <blockquote> <p>Josh, where are they going to be posted? and are you going to create the film.photo.net page?</p> </blockquote> <p>These are all uncharted waters for PN at this point. But I'm hoping to get film.photo.net up in some fashion next week. However, Jin and the programmers are all tied up trying to get the last of the ImagePro reprogramming finished.</p> <p>One (or both) of two things will probably happen. I'll probably throw up a completely simple plain page at film.photo.net to keep people organized. Plus, I may start some sort of email notification list to let people who are interested in film photography keep updated.</p> <p>At the very least, I will post updates here on the film/processing forum.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary_watson Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 <p>National/regional/city listings of quality labs might be worthwhile, especially those willing to do mail order. Just a thought...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janne_moren Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 <p>Why restrict it to one country? You have readers from all kinds of places.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted May 10, 2009 Author Share Posted May 10, 2009 <blockquote> <p>Why restrict it to one country?

So I'm not sure what you are referring to.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janne_moren Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 <p>Sorry; a previous comment called for a "national/regional/city" registry and I got worried a database would be geared towards USA only (ie. require contact info in that local format and so on). That still happens with some frequency so I perhaps overreacted a bit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshroot Posted May 11, 2009 Author Share Posted May 11, 2009 <p>While it is possible that we would start such a thing with a US system, if only for the simplicity of creating and testing it, it would not make sense for anything to be "USA only". I would expect that we would end up with a worldwide system in some fashion as our final goal</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_watson Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 <p>National=nation, like different countries, Janne. PN has always been international.My intent was building a list for countries, regions within countries, cities in regions, OK? I'm sensitive to your concern by living in Canada whose total population is smaller than California's.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 <p>Hi Rishi and Tim, let me know if you want any help with your scanning articles. I've just been doing some tests of a Nikon 5000 and Vuescan including multisampling vs multiexposure.<br> Roger</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
