<p>hello, yes i have read these articles and they are fantastic, so is your portfolio!! thanks for all the help!</p>

<p>thanks, i was worried about that i noticed alot of wide wedding shots when researching, ill stay away from the 28mm for the portraits, could it work as a kinda artsy portrait for a small group?? would it be worth a try or will it just round out there faces??how about a yellow #8 filter for skin tones?? thanks again,megan</p>

<p>thank you nadine!!! i have a digital point and shoot (cannon a460) do you think thats good enough for a back up?? the only other camera a have besides that is a holga. i'll ba sure to take my flash (and a million batteries) thanks again for the advice, megan </p>

hello,i have been making enlargements of my 35mm negs with arista litho film

for my alternative processing class, the positives come out good, but the negs

come out really dense, also in my positives i like to print them dark & moody

(but still with full detail) i have been burning in the sky and i can achieve

this in the positive but i loose the sky in the negs and they come out real

dense, i have been using my devoloper(accurate custom blend) 1:5, and normal

stop and fixer,my instructor didnt show up to class last week and i was hoping

to make more negs over my spring break, does anyone have any suggestions or

helpfull info on this process???i really would really appreciate it, thanks

for taking the time to read this,megan

hello i already have a darkroom,but my enlarger will only print up to 6x6, my

friend gave me her old rusty automega b-5 (this prints 4x5????)there is a tear

in the bellows, no negitive carrier or light bulb.....is there hope?????i am a

photo major and i would like to be able to print at home for the next class i

have to take (commercial photography techniques)i am kinda scared that this

class might discorage me- it's studio techniques w/ a 4x5 camera, and i always

see people really bummed out in the school lab/studio who are taking this

class,i ask them if it's that bad and they all say yes, i have taken another

studio class (portrait)and i loved it, this one used medium format wich was

new to me and i had fun learning how to use it..the instructors are really

good,but i am just scarred i'll get discorraged .. i love photography and i

want to learn all they have to teach me(@ smc)i'm working on my aa degree but

i dont want to burn myself out ,,,i really got off the subject....any

suggestions?????

i got hooked on b&w ,i always use the zone system with my spot meter,and now i

dont know what to do for color-my camera is fully manuel, is there a way to

use the zone system for color??i have been using avrage value metering -but i

dont feel like im in controll & i dont want to bracket, any suggestions????

i dont have a scanner but i have a darkroom,i have just been re-photographing

my b&w prints with color film and having them put on a cd, i like my images

grainy, i always use illford 400, would the film speed of the color film i use

to re- photograph affect my original print??does anyone know a better way to

do this???

hello, about there being no 120 film where you live have you herd of freestyle(just google them)you could order anything photo related on-line and there super cheap, they probably even do processing. i have a darkroom at home if you shoot black & white i can process your film for next to nothing-e-mail me back if your interested. but deffinitely check out the freestlye website they have lots of holga stuff

i am in the process of building a darkroom in my laundryroom,is it safe to use

the chemicals near the waterheater????
