Mike Gammill Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 <p>Nice look back. I enjoyed the dye transfer article. A lot of work went into color prints in that day. Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_lockerbie Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>Thanks again Marc, I was 1 month old when this came out....not quite ready to gear up! All the ads for darkroom stuff makes me come over all nostalgic...love some of that Gevaert paper!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_miller5 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>Photographers in the 50's and beginner's mistakes were great. Thanks The shot of the kid crying over his dog was too much for me to handle.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_bergman1 Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 <p>Mike - I never tried the Dye Transfer method. Articles like this show me why. Too much for my little home darkroom. The Dye Transfer prints I have seen were wonderful.</p> <p>Tony - I see something like the Gevaert ad and wonder who else would be interested? Good to know. I will look for other ads like this one.</p> <p>Donald - I always like to see the methods used by photographers in days gone by. They really had to work hard for their shots. I felt the same way as you about the kid and his dog.</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James G. Dainis Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That was an interesting article on beginner's mistakes. "The old rule of 'the closer the subject the more light it requires, the farther away the less light' didn't mean much to him. But it meant a lot to the roll of film in his camera." That is a new one on me. Unless he is talking about bellows extension and the inverse light rule. Even then I don't think there should be much difference in bellows extension with a normal folder at five feet as opposed to infinity. An 8 x 10 camera would have a significant bellows extension at five feet compared to infinity. But, he was talking about a "roll of film" in the camera so I assume it was a simple folder. I rather suspect this entire scene and dialogue in a camera shop was just the writer's creation. James G. Dainis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_drawbridge Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 <p>Another fine selection, <strong>Marc.</strong> The article on the Big City Photographer plunged me back into my late childhood when a career in photography was dreamily being considered, (along with becoming a pilot or train driver, of course), and press photography looked pretty glamorous. Altogether an engrossing post; many thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
