  2. @tonyhartphoto Your shots are amazing. I find it difficult pulling off natural, consistent and flattering portraits. Hats off to you. 4:02 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  3. @tonyhartphoto I've just counted my grandfather's stuff. 24 vast leather albums and 100 Kodak Carousel magazines. 3:54 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  4. @tonyhartphoto It shows how one should photograph everything. I used to be good at that. Less good since turning pro. Must do better. 3:52 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  5. @tonyhartphoto His life (and it was a rich one) — full photographic diary from 1900-1984. Scandinavia, Germany, UK, South America, etc. 3:47 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  6. @tonyhartphoto Same with scans I made of Richard Einzig's work. Pre 1966 Ektachrome was scrap. Unless one tries making B&W out of red. 3:45 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  7. @tonyhartphoto My grandfather was a keen amateur, mostly B&W. Tried colour. Kodachrome still wonderful. Pre-1966 Ektachrome all gone red. 3:44 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  8. @tonyhartphoto @WodcWill @Shorpy Extraordinary to think I was shooting 5x4"until 4 years ago, & could walk to the nearest stockist. 12:44 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  9. @tonyhartphoto @WodcWill @Shorpy Fascinating. I like the LF portrait of Monty. One of my favourite web sites is shorpy.com/4x5-large-form…. 12:38 AM May 24th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  10. @tonyhartphoto I'm fascinated by that example now, because it's a much better practical measure of how far digital cameras have come. 3:01 PM May 21st via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  11. @tonyhartphoto Yes, quite. My 1.6 million pixel Fuji whatnot from 1998 was perfectly capable of 300 dpi, if you don't mind a 4x3" print. 2:59 PM May 21st via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  12. @tonyhartphoto Had two images rejected that were 240 dpi. Changed them to 300 without resampling. Accepted. No pixels actually changed. 2:51 PM May 21st via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  13. Leica M9-M is lovely, but digital B&W is handicapped by printers that fail to deliver the deep blacks and delicious tones of a silver print. 2:05 AM May 11th via web
  14. @tonyhartphoto The snag is the need for real B&W filters. With a colour sensor, it can be done in processing. Still saving for the D800E! 2:39 PM May 10th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  15. @Mighty_Minto Congratulations! Playing an American? 2:32 PM May 10th via web in reply to Mighty_Minto
  16. @tonyhartphoto I want one! I only ever load B&W in my M6, & would relish the extra sharpness of the M9 Monochrom. Ah, well. I can dream ... 2:01 PM May 10th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
  17. @toekneeheart Yes: swallow hard, fork out for cats and traps, then you can use the carriers for everything. 7:26 AM May 10th via web in reply to toekneeheart
  18. Channel hopping. 4 zaps, 4 channels, 4 people sucking their teeth and sighing. Hysterical, like a kind of national frustration. 12:37 PM Apr 25th via Twitter for iPhone
  19. @tonyhartphoto The Odin seems specifically for Canon/Nikon. I need one for LF also, so I must see what else they make ... Thanks again! 11:16 AM Apr 25th via web in reply to tonyhartphoto
