RE: Advice solicitation for analog shooting
Walt, the Plus-X should be fine. When I first started using it, I lived on a tropical island where supplies arrived by boat every three months at minimum, and the films then stayed unrefrigerated until used. Never had an issue with it! Heat can foul it up, but it has to be something like leaving the film in the glove box of your car while it is in the sun (which I will confess to having done when young and unaware!).

I think the shop where I bought it will process it, though. I still don't have a dark room or supplies -- nor a tank or dark bag -- to work with, so I'll have to have all my film processed for the time being. But, once I get to the point where I feel I can get enough good shots with film to justify the investment, I'll probably start doing my own development. BTW -- I did note that the date stamp on the Plus-X box is 01/2010. I assume that's the expiration date and not the date of manufacture. With that in mind, I can't help wondering if it's still worth shooting. The shop had it on a shelf, not refrigerated at all. I assume there's some leeway with the expiration dates, but a year sounds a bit much. Thanks for the pointers WRT the developing chemicals.

Acutol gives very fine grain and high acutance (as the name implies) with lovely smooth tone gradation. Microdol-X is designed to give very sharp negatives, perhaps a little more grain and contrast than Acutol. I normally rated it at 200ASA, but it's worth testing a roll or two with your own gear to see what suits you best. To save film, you could expose half-dozen frames on a roll at 80, 125 and 200 ASA for each set , then develop the roll normally to see which works best. You can push Plus-X quite hard, but the quality begins to drop off at over 400ASA, I found.

I liked it so much that tonight I'm going to start reading it again because I'm unwilling to say good by to the larger-than-life photographers or end the adventure. Before reading the book I knew little about Magnum. Of course, I had heard of Magnum, but not much else---I knew little of the in-house tensions, disagreements, both the positive and negative working dynamics, personalities, original mission, philosophical differences, financial struggles et al. The first part of the book does a wonderful job of rendering Robert Capa, whom I didn't know much about--wow! what a guy! What a fascinating human being. In the beginning he truly was the heart and soul of Magnum.

RE: Photograph aspect ratios
Following the link posted by Liz, I came across another short article (blogpost?) on about.com written by her, http://photography.about.com/od/developingandprinting/qt/ImageFormats.h tm I liked the subject: I thought it was the first time that I've seen somebody discussing different aspect ratios of the prints of different standard sizes and the planning needed for that. We have discussed it here before. Not often, but occasionally and mostly related to the question of why people crop their photos to fit paper sizes, rather than cropping the paper to fit the photo. I've discussed briefly a related question earlier here, on PDML, in some comments that I personally tend to favor two aspect ratios : 2:3 and 1:1 (aka 6x6 :-) ). I use whatever the sensor / film uses, so 2:3 and 4:3. However, since I've had Lightroom I have cropped photos to either 1:1 or 2:1, mainly when I've photographed them with that in mind. With the Leica M8 the framelines are so inaccurate that you're almost forced to crop to get the framing you used at shutter release time. [...] I also would challenge this statement: Many cameras today record photographs in roughly a 3:2 ratio. This means that the long side is 1.5 times as long as the short side. This is the reason 4x6 has become a popular print size. I believe the reason (or to be exact, one of the main reasons) why 4x6 has become a popular print size is that the negative size on the 35mm film was 24x36mm, which has the same aspect ratio. I believe the reason why the size 4x6, as opposed to the aspect ratio 2:3, is popular has more to do with viewing distance. Harald Mante writes about this in his excellent book Photo Design: In looking at a picture, the viewing distance from the eyes should be twice the length of the diagonal of the picture. Since the normal reading distance is from 12 to 16 inches, the ideal size for a photograph [...] would be from 3.5 x 4.75 in. (diagonal about 6 in.) to 4.5x6.25 (diagonal 8 in). [...] Pictures which are too small become mere spots: if too large [...] they are for the most part examined only in detail, because it may become impracticable to view them at the requisite distance.. People should also take this into account when posting pictures to the web, but of course it's difficult to come up with the best viewing distance. Average arm's length is normally claimed, but it varies with age. If we settle on 25 then the picture diagonal should be about 12 and the 2:3 sides about 6x9 http://www.ankrumassociates.com/articles/viewing-distance-at-computer-works tations.html And that brings me round to one of my pet hates, which is oversized picture books, especially photography books. They print the photographs far too large for comfortable viewing.

Re: Photograph aspect ratios
I discourage my print customers from ordering 8 x 10s of my photos, and instead urge them to go with 8 x 12s, since I shoot to that ratio. Most good framing and photo stores now have pre-cut 8 x 12 mats that are 11 x 14 on the outside. I find these perfect for framing in 11 x 14 frames. I nver frame a print without a mat.

Re: Photograph aspect ratios
In regard to paper, when printing 8 x 12 images or crops close to that size, I print two on a sheet of 13 x 19 paper. I use only 13 x 19 paper, and simply cut out the prints, if they're not sized to use the full sheet. Like Bob, I don't always crop to a standard size. But for photos that are intended for sale, it's much more economical to buy pre-cut mats than to have custom mats cut, so I tend to plan ahead and shoot to a standard size.

RE: Photograph aspect ratios
From: Bob W Following the link posted by Liz, I came across another short article (blogpost?) on about.com written by her, http://photography.about.com/od/developingandprinting/qt/ImageFormats.h tm I liked the subject: I thought it was the first time that I've seen somebody discussing different aspect ratios of the prints of different standard sizes and the planning needed for that. We have discussed it here before. Not often, but occasionally and mostly related to the question of why people crop their photos to fit paper sizes, rather than cropping the paper to fit the photo. I blame it on the high media costs associated with ink-jet printers. - No virus found in this message.

Re: Photograph aspect ratios
I'm going to snip a lot from what is below and then weave Paul Stenquist wrote: I discourage my print customers from ordering 8 x 10s of my photos, and instead urge them to go with 8 x 12s, since I shoot to that ratio. Most good framing and photo stores now have pre-cut 8 x 12 mats that are 11 x 14 on the outside. I find these perfect for framing in 11 x 14 frames. I nver frame a print without a mat. Paul I never frame a print without a mat either... well, almost never, it aint good for the print but if it is just for me I sometimes do. On Feb 12, 2011, at 12:06 AM, Igor Roshchin wrote: I also would challenge this statement: Many cameras today record photographs in roughly a 3:2 ratio. This means that the long side is 1.5 times as long as the short side. This is the reason 4x6 has become a popular print size. I believe the reason (or to be exact, one of the main reasons) why 4x6 has become a popular print size is that the negative size on the 35mm film was 24x36mm, which has the same aspect ratio. Yup -- Though it could be a chicken/egg thing here, no? More over, most sensor sizes (except those of DSLRs) are 4:3: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0210/02100402sensorsizes.asp . Cheers, Igor One of the reasons I'm happily back with Pentax gear is the aspect ratio - as I shot with that ratio for a good 40 years before brief lapse in to the dark side. (All though I still have a point and shot with the 4:3) But... In terms of printing... I never print any photos to the edge of the paper.. and the aspect ratio of any photo I print is what looks best to my eye for the subject at hand or to crop out distracrting elements... I like to see a wide border around my photos and also for handling them one never touches the surface of the image. Matting is much easier if the paper you printed on gives you a bit of an edge to handle and use for securing the print to the back mat. ann -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

I don't think Netscape 7.0 has had a security update since 2003. Certainly not since 2008 when AOL pulled the plug on Netscape. Essentially Mozilla took the old Netscape program and split it into separate applications; Firefox for browsing the web Thunderbird for email. I think Thunderbird should give you the look feel of the old Netscape email client, but with the benefit of security updates. Thunderbird duplicates the look, feel function of the email portion of the old Netscape program. I was running Netscape 7.2 on this computer in 2007 when I decided to give Firefox/Thunderbird a try on my new Toshiba laptop. That's when I quit using this computer for a while. When I put this computer back into operation in January of this year it still had Netscape 7.2 set up on it. Switching over to Firefox/Thunderbird was fairly easy. The only problem I ran into was I made the mistake of running Windows add/remove programs to uninstall Netscape before installing Firefox/Thunderbird, which slightly complicated importing bookmarks address books. Fortunately I had not yet emptied the trash folder the installers were able to retrieve my bookmarks address books from there. From recent personal experience, I can say it's not any more difficult to set up Thunderbird to send only plain text email than it was to figure out how to make Netscape do so. - No virus found in this message.
