Hi David, I like this. I find the general shape of the road that you've captured very pleasing. The bodies of water that surround it also intrigue me; I wonder if there is more to be done with your drone and exploring these pools from above. Although if your passion if for the road then...

I can appreciate why 10*8 film still offers the greatest resolution, and compared to medium format digital I imagine an economic incentive too. Are those who are still using film, now scanning their negatives? I don't mean to sound enamoured with digital processing, I just feel it has so many...

Hi Guys, I've been musing today about what format/medium most contemporary landscape photographers are using today? There was a time when most serious landscape photographers would use a large format film camera, however I assume that time has now passed with huge advances in digital over that...

Hi Neil, Great photo, love the balance and the processing you've applied to it adds a sense of mystery for me as well.

That first one with the light through the arch is spectacular.

I know they've definitely been stored mixed in with pieces of cartridge paper, so it might be that. Or you know, I was just sloppy with the chemicals as you've suggested. None the less, I'm interesting to learn wood based paper can contaminate prints.

Thanks for the invite; I won't be able to make it I've arranged to visit a friend that day. However I do from time to time head over to that neck of the woods, do you meet every Saturday?

I guess I've been a bit cryptic, my intended uses for the camera would be to have something reliable that takes good pictures (I'm not interested in posing). I've just taken a new job and I have a lot of time on my hands; I was very lucky that I was given an enlarger and I've very much enjoyed...

Yeah I should have mentioned that the first thing I did was replace the batteries. As for the "electromagnet" does that control the shutter or just the mirror? Because the mirror (dictated by the shutter) is working fine, its the shutter that is open to long. Anyways I don't want to get side...

Hi Guys, I've been using an Olympus OM-2 on loan from my Dad, and it's shutter speed has become slow e.g. when on 1/1000 its taking about a second (if you know of a quick fix that would be great, otherwise I'll take it off to the camera repair shop). Anyways this sad and untimely event...
