    best grain in 400 speed?

    regarding the bulk loading... here in Australia my film costs using

    bulk loading are less than 1/3rd the cost of buying 'factory' loads.

    The cost of the loader and cassettes are swallowed in the first 30m

    roll. However, as Jim highlights they have their down sides. You

    can load your cassettes in the dark to avoid the last frame 1/2

    fogged problem but I don't bother, it's never really worried me. I

    don't have any problems with the start of the roll, so I'm not sure

    what that refers to. I don't have any problems with scratches, and

    in fact my negs are much cleaner than any commercially processed

    stuff I use (C-41 B&W/Colour, E6)<P>I guess, what works for some

    doesn't for others.

    Print sizes and borders

    in Black & White Practice

    Posted

    I tend to use my Durst Commask, a 8x10 easel with set size borders of

    about 1cm. You can also flip it over and print either 2 5x8's (less

    the 1cm border) or 4 4x5 (less 1cm borders between images) on one

    8x10 peice of paper although I mostly print at 8x10 size. I use this

    easel mostly due to the simplicity of it (open, insert paper, shut...

    always get same border) and it's almost identical thickness (height

    off the baseboard) as my test strip device (Paterson I think) so

    although I refocus after doing a test strip, the image size is almost

    identical and no exposure alterations need to be made.<P>

    When printing larger, I'll use a 12x16 sheet (as large as I print at

    the moment) and put the image in the middle at whatever size I decide

    to print at.<P>

    Also, I guess it depends on who (and how) you show your work too. No

    one see's mine unless it's in a display book I use or been matted so

    they don't get a chance to put their grubby fingers all over them!

    Every Child Player Wins A Prize

    who says I do! ;) just kidding!<P>

    I take very few people pics (other than my son and family) but I'm

    getting an interest through this forum.<P>What I liked about this pic

    was the relationship between the obvious sign and the girl manning

    the booth, a child herself. I like how everyone, including all the

    stuffed toys are looking at the recipient of the prize... Why I

    posted it was to see if anyone thought the fact that you can hardly

    see the recipient (blonde hair) or what she was receiving mattered.

    Is it that bad that you wondered why I posted it? I didn't want to

    ask that question outright, since that could influence your

    opinion.<P>regards, Nige

    Interesting comments Tony... thanks!<P>

    The lack of faces was/is an element that had me thinking... and

    undecided about whether having just one nose visable made this a

    candidate for the circular filing cabinent...<P>As you can probably

    tell due to the image dimensions, some cropping has occured! I

    haven't got the original handy to see what I didn't like, but maybe I

    haven't got enough of the scene in, for you not to be able to see

    that they have just finished topping the boiler up with water, ready

    for the return journey. Not sure what the guy on the left was

    doing.. maybe polishing their 'toy'! :)

    bumping to 'new answers' list

    <P>

    I'm 'guilty' of only looking at this page since I mostly lurk in this

    forum. I don't take many 'people' pics, but have started too take a

    few. Should we always bump new posts to the new answers list?

    <P>Thoughts? ...you can comment on the pic too while you're here :)

    I can't remember doing any contact prints of colour negs on normal

    B&W paper, but enlargements weren't very good unless you were looking

    for huge grain and weird tonal representation. Something to do with

    the paper not sensitive to the colour negs in some wavelengths or

    something (someone chime in and add the reason.. I'll remember then!)

    Kodak make 'Panalure' paper for doing this, which must be handled in

    compete darkness. All the 'good' info may not be appropiate, but if

    you're contact sheets aren't what you expect, now you know partially

    why :)

    Yes, Congratulations! Nice page too!. Don't forget to get in the

    photo's with your daughter and son too!

     

    <p>

     

    Tony, I should introduce you to my wife who snaps close to a roll a

    week of our son... and she's kept this up for 21mths so far!
