That was not a problem until you go near the bottom of the bottle, then you just used a finger to partially block the mouth. Marbles were the standard thing back in the 1950's. Bob Blakely wrote: Ingenious, but what do you do about the marbles trying to run out with the developer when you

That is always the problem with databases. BTW, Adobe bridge can attach all kinds of info and catagories to your photos, but it does still have the problem that you have to enter the info and select the catagories. Boris Liberman wrote: I think LightRoom can do most if not all that you

Why is it so interesting? I see nothing that makes any difference to anyone but a few folks who want to be taken for pundits. The lighting shows that the sun was more overhead in the second photo, but if the photographer was into faking his photos, he could well have lied about the time he took

I notice that everyone is saying that darkroom chemical flumes are heavier than air, but every commercial darkroom I have used has had the exhaust fan high and the inlet low. Usually the inlet vent was baffled in a stud space so the pickup was high on the outside of the wall so it would not pick

Not really, most libraries only keep the paper copies until the microfiche, or CD, copies come out. In fact many just use an internet service for such things. Most non-research libraries do not keep much of anything old anymore. Of course the Library of Congress probably has a couple of
