Ilford SFX-200 Experiments

I've been continuing to experiment with Ilford SFX-200 film in preparation for Moab Photo Symposium:


I'm using the IR 695 filter with the SFX-200.  Of course Everything that is green is very dark.......


Our Blue Jeep definitely absorbs the IR Spectrum.


And Donald with the Burke and James Press Camera doing his own 4X5 IR experiments.

Saturdays Online: Meet our 'Newest' Camera Family Member

I say 'newest' because it is not a new camera at all.  Just joining us for the first time.  I have a wonderful neighbor that has given us a lot of darkroom equipment, including the Beautiful Durst Enlarger.  The B&J Press Camera is the latests item to take that walk across the street:



The Burke and James Press Camera, beautifully described here on YouTube.



So Donald has the 4X5 camera that he's been wanting.  Me, I'm sticking with Medium Format, but cause I ain't hiking a 4X5 (and the heavier tripod it requires) any where!

But read this Case For Large Format Film,  which tells you why it does make a difference to go Bigger!

We'll update you with our first results soon!
