Re: Recovery of clogged inkjet print heads

As we're having an opinion-fest.. My experience has been that inkjet prints are much easier to produce to an (at least) adequate level of quality. I would guess that the effort required to produce the equivalent of a highest-grade optical print is less than an order of magnitude different.

Peso: Glass Still Life

I decided to dig out a few lenses that haven't seen the light of day for many, many years. One thing led to another, and I emptied my camera bag, and took a few lenses out of the display case. So I lined em up, and shot em down, then I did some cringe worthy post processing.

The treasures you find while going through boxes...

A modest discovery today... While going through boxes (trying to find my Gossen Luna Pro F) I discovered a minty (still in snap case) Pentax AF240FT flash. This apparently came in an SF1 kit (that was probably purchased for the F50 f/1.7 lens) Some googling reveals that people used these with

Costco offer a number of different print options, but you can still get RA4 C-prints up to 12x18 (and if the operator knows what he's doing 12x36 panos). Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You think inkjet prints are better. I don't. On 3/6/2016 2:48 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: Costco

It is a secret how it works, so people don't game the system, but my sense is that Flickr has a special stream set up for Explore moderators to view. The photos included in that stream are those that get a lot of favorites/to views ratio. More immediate reactions and time of day (or day of week)
