Friday, 1 May 2015. The filter is stuck. If you are of a delicate disposition you should not be reading this post. It shows pictures of unbelievable brutality towards a camera lens. It had to be done so the lens could be cleaned we make no apologies for the blunt force trauma needed to remove the filter. O ugh that hurts! The writer of this article would like to assure the readers that the camera lens was not hurt in anyway and a stunt double was used for the photos that accompany this post. Negatives de...

Photomi7ch: Fuji GW690III Overview-Review

http://photomi7ch.blogspot.com/2012/12/fuji-gw690iii-overview-review.html

Sunday, 30 December 2012. These cameras were the last to bear the name Fujica. First released in November 1978 as a professinal unit without interchangable lenses. They came in several formats from 4.5x6, 6x7, 6x8 and 6x9. The GW 6x9 was first relased in 1985 and came with a fixed lens. The video above gives a nice insight into a range of camera that became known as the Texas Leica. Like to thank Mike Thomas for his insight into this camera.

Photomi7ch: Cold tone paper by Ilford.

http://photomi7ch.blogspot.com/2015/07/cold-tone-paper-by-ilford.html

Monday, 13 July 2015. Cold tone paper by Ilford. Ilford Cooltone paper developed in. When I order new materials for the darkroom I always add something I have not tried before. It can be anything but this time it just so happens it was a box of Ilfords new cooltone FB paper. I was interested to know what their definition of cool was. In my mind it means rich blacks and blueish tones in a very subtle way. But then every ones experience of these equine giants is different and so are the pictures made.

Photomi7ch: Spiraling trouble?

http://photomi7ch.blogspot.com/2015/06/spiraling-trouble.html

Thursday, 18 June 2015. Putting this lot back together was fun. Right, there is no way I'm going to start separating a plastic spiral once the film had been processed. Looking back I have to say what was all the fuss about. I think it is a lot to do with the unknown. If I take it apart will I ever get it back together? There that was not so bad. Huh! Not quite as clever as you thought, when it came to doing it again! I couldn't get it to go back together again no matter what I tried. It took ages to ...

Friday, 17 July 2015. A case of the wrong paper? FG 1 Ilford Multigrade RC developed in. FG 2 Foma variant RC developed in. I was in the darkroom the other day doing some printing,. When I noticed I had produced a print that did not match the test strip. This lead to a bit of head scratching. Then it occurred to me that the paper that was left from the last session in the test strip box was a different make. I had assumed it was Ilford, a logical thought, as it is the paper I use often.

Photomi7ch: Basic split grade printing

http://photomi7ch.blogspot.com/2013/01/basic-split-grade-printing_2.html

Wednesday, 2 January 2013. Basic split grade printing. A while a go I was on the FADU forum. In the articles section reading up on another subject, when I came across an article by Les Mclean. On basic split grade printing. I had a quick read and printed a copy off to read again and give it a try. It is suggested that using this method leads to a more finely toned photograph. Is this the case? And how difficult is it to get right? It maybe an idea to produce an idiot list, for a procedure prompter,.

Saturday, 16 May 2015. Contaminated by wetting agent? Developed in RO9 but it is not the developer. When something unexpected happens while you are processing. Your negatives, it takes a bit of time to get your head round it. This happened while I was processing a number of rolls of film in R09 and using it's special brother. Please bear in mind that the elimination process was written after I discovered the culprit. Fomapan 100 negatives developed in RO9. So where to start? Was it the developer? No it d...
