First Test

So for what its worth, here is a side by side comparison at 100% of a sheet of 4x5 scanned at 2040 dpi (maxed on the Imacon Flextight III) and 2400 dpi on my Epson v-750 with the Better Scanning tray. I tried to make as neutral of a scan as I could for both, but I did not spend a whole lot of time on either, just quick as possible.

4x5 package

I'm selling my beloved 4x5 with all the extras. This is a good opportunity for someone to set themselves up with a view camera package in excellent condition.

Interesting

Seems that even if you do not know how to montage images in Photoshop very well, you can still be a well known and successful photographer. Spot the photoshop disasters

4x5 negative dusting

About a three hour adventure in dusting/spotting a 4x5 negative, 2008. (The white spots are just an overlay of every area where the fixing brushes were used.)

Some stuff from Italy and other travels

Something to ponder

I met Nathan at Fotoweek DC earlier this year. He works for Adorama in NYC and is working on some interesting projects.  This is an interview with Tim Hetherington.  Check it out!

My New Business Cards

Hey all! Hope everyone's semester started off nicely. I just designed new Business cards for my freelance photography business. Let me know what you think.

A Few Holga Images

Thought I'd share some Holga images I made last fall that I finally got around to scanning.  Also, I'll shamelessly plug my own blog here if anyone is interested.

Camera Bag Wanted

Hello all, I find myself needing a camera bag. If anyone has one they are willing to part with for little to no money, let me know. It has to be pretty large because it will be holding my Pentax 6x7 and a couple lenses. (Larger than a loaf of bread)

A Blog Post on Getting More Accurate Color

Hi guys. Any of you use the X-Rite Color Checker Passport? It's a great tool to use in studio type situations for awesomely accurate color results. Here's a blog post I wrote about using it for a headshot. I geared this post mostly towards non-photographers with reasons why professionals are a better option for high-quality color prints. Check it out if you're interested. Thanks!

Nikon AF ED 80-200 f2.8 zoom lens

I am selling a Nikon AF ED 80-200 f2.8 zoom lens. This is a great, versatile autofocus/manual focus telephoto zoom with outstanding optical design that works on all Nikon cameras, except the D40, D40x, and D60. This is a full frame lens but will also work on DX sensor cameras. It is a push-pull zoom with the same ring for focusing and zooming. The glass is perfect with no scratches, smudges or abrasions anywhere. The exterior does show some wear, but aside from that, the lens is in great shape. I'm asking $400. Contact Nash 404-213-8539 or nashaddicks@comcast.net

Kellogg, ID

I went out and shot a few slides on a gloomy day last June to try and show my perspective of the town in the rainy and dismal spring.

Mamiya DM22

Here is a 100% enlargement (above) from a full frame image (below) with the Mamiya DM. Not bad detail huh?

Portraiture Last Week

I just love all the colors and style. Fantastic.

Date Change!

The date for Jason's exhibition at Barrel Mountaineering has changed. It will be held next Friday January 28. Sorry about the mix up. Be sure to check out their website for up and coming shows. They plan to have one a month in their gallery space. Hope you can all make it!

Solo Exhibition

Jason Piskin will be exhibiting at Barrel Mountaineering Friday January 21, 6-8pm. Wine and snacks are provided. Come and see why Jason's work won the Student Choice Award for his fall 2010 Senior Thesis.

Job + Ski Pass

I just saw this ad posted on Craigslist up at Big Sky.  Sounds like a decent opp for a local grad, who likes to ski and is outgoing (sales).  A free pass and full-time employment with a camera.... a career start that could pay the bills.

Black Dots

I photographed this last fall and finally got around to scanning it in.  Does anyone know what these black dots are?  I'm pretty sure it's because I used old chemicals (I developed this roll just before the fall semester actually started, so Charlie let me use the chemicals to develop with before he dumped them).  Anyone experience this?
