Hi,

 

I did a search but didn't quite find what I was looking for.

 

I've been thinking about picking up a Speed Graphic but I'm not sure

what to do with the negs/transparancies after I get them processed?

I have an Epson 4180 flatbed scanner and it does a great job with my

6x6 film(with and without the carrier) but what would I do with the

4x5 neg?

 

I've scanned the 6x6 on the bed as a reflective to see if it works

and it does...but with much to be desired. The 4180 only came with

carriers for MF and 35mm. What do most folks scan their LF negs with?

 

Any advice or suggestions on settings or other options (other than

buying a LF scanner)?

Great questions...I am interested in the answers/suggestions myself.

Got my website up a few weeks ago...mostly street shots from NYC and

Boston with some travel shots from Europe. Just thught I would share.

 

Enjoy.

Yeah.....CLASSY!

Its always nice to have a smoke with the baby....

Thanks to all for the replies, hope you enjoyed the pics. To those of you who experienced problems and/or didnt like the format of the website...uhh...Im a photographer...not a web designer.

Im not sure what lens i used....might have been a 24-120vr. If you want to stop action, you will need a fast shutter speed, which im sure you already know. I usually shoot on aperature priority mode(not usually stopped down too much).

ummm..I mean ShUtter speed. Sorry.

"he is sharp but some of the other people are blurred."

 

 

 

...Believe it or not, That was hand-held @ about 1/2sec...a simple result of a long shitter speed. The man on the bike was static while everyone else was on the move.

I finally got around to building a website to show some of my work.

Feel free to have a look!

Yeah...thats what you should do. Mount a $1500 50mm Leica lens on a Nikon digi instead of a $200 Nikon one because you KNOW the Leica will be SO much sharper...

...sucks.

Thats pretty cool...

"and for THIS picture you had to use a leica?"

 

..Yeah, that shot SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark......nice shot

PPPS- Trevor...youre OK too. ;)

...No - YOU are!!! No YOU are!! NO YOU ARE!!! what a bunch of pathetic LOSERS!!! I get angry at myself every time i even think about visiting this page and even more angry after i do. Honestly...you all need a severe BITCH SLAP!! Get some self integrity and quit worrying about what the f**k other people are doing. You people make me wanna barf..

 

PS- what M and lens should i get? (for all those that 'dont get it' thats a joke)

 

PPS- Al, your shots are pretty cool.<div></div>

hey...???

and tell everyone my secrects...i dont think so!

 

just kidding...email me if you honestly want to know.

yeah...i know how a pinhole works, i have a dozen of them made from all kinds of things...but, the pic isnt a pinhole.

>>"Chuck, no, apparently i don't "get it." I don't agree with you.

THIS thread is stupid, and if you meant for it to prove a point of some sort, there are countless, more effective ways to do it."

 

 

Sounds like a personal problem, Derek...

>>"i think the question should be why you took the shot in the first place and then went to all that effort in PS.

 

PS. did someone kick chucks' cage or is it a**hole day at photo.net?"

 

good question, Mark...the answer is that it wasnt any effort at all...actually quite amusing. And secondly, like i mentioned earlier, whats even worse than me going to 'all that effort' is the fact that a lot of you, drawn like moths to a flame, respond to my childish antics...

 

i dont remember where i heard this phrase but i think it applies here:

 

"Dont believ half of what you hear, and none of what you see..."

 

..oh yeah, now i remember...Lou Reed. Saw him in B&H not long ago...

 

anyway...you figure it out for y**rs*lf, Mark

>"This is a whole 'nother level of stupid."

 

FINALLY!!!! Someone that gets it!

Photoshop "pin-holga"<div></div>
