    Echoes of Egypt

    Waiting for Anubis Nikon D7100; Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro(OS) HSM|C In the modern world, Americans have had several romances with Egyptian forms as funerary monuments and art. Although elements began appearing at the very beginning of the 19th Century, the first great wave coincided with...

    Hope for the Future of Cameras

    There is nothing quite like the feel of an all-metal camera. The only exception to this for me was my brick of an Argus C3... (y) IIRC, Minolta started going to plastics beginning with the Maxxum series in the 80s. It was a nice camera, but felt really cheap. And the lens was really cheap...

    Hope for the Future of Cameras

    We often wonder about what will be next in our cameras and lenses. For the most part, it seems like there is even more software. I love my XT because it resembles an old manual camera, but can go full HAL if needed. :unsure: The actual mechanical thing is what is left. Whatever could be...

    Got to change the rules, which are left over from "Monochrome Monday." Two photos a week is kind of silly now... 🤡 :unsure:

    Say Cheese Fujifilm X-T5; TAMRON 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD This guy was hanging around, and I asked him for the time. That is when he turned away and I took the shot. Cue Chicago... :unsure:

    What Lies Within

    What Lies Within Fujifilm X-T5; TAMRON 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di III-A VC VXD In honor of 'spooky time', I offer this! In the heart of Knoxville TN lies Market Square, and something known as "Artists Alley." Festooned with illustrations and colorful graphics, the alley bears little resembelence...

    Speed and shrooms. 💉🍄 Hmmm. What's her number? :love: The prefix and tag system is under messy remodeling as well. The first salvo was the Help Board, and now Monochrome Meditations has a prefix. While some of these are fixed default, other boards--specifically the tech ones--will require...

    That brings me to another thing. Those "galleries" are an artifact within an artifact. Once upon a long ago, more primitive time, forum threads were not a happy place to try and show images. Certainly nothing like Lightbox flyouts. So the addon of the "gallery" was born. Time marches on...

    No it's not. That's a brilliant idea for a rename of the "A Photographic Mind" board, our version of a 'philosophy' board. Sadly, at this time we have no irascible trolls to populate it. Something to look forward to, right? On second thought, that is not a terribly good idea either. But...

    Yeah. I like waking up in an ordered world--not radically different from the one I went to sleep in. I have lived the alternative too many times. And no, not because I did not take my meds. Change is good as long as it is gradual and non-disruptive, right? Sounds good but I think I am...

    Don't throw away your old Hammer Head flash units.

    Got to doing a little digging about! Here are a couple instances of the Pentax in action with my aforementioned cameras. Great stuff for sure! I am using the Godox TT685ii flashes in combination with their XPro-F controller. The studio flashes are too big and expensive for what I do...

    Don't throw away your old Hammer Head flash units.

    Then there was the venerable Honeywell "potato masher." 🥔📸 Hang one of those on a bracket to a TLR or even SLR and you had a formidable setup. Later when I was formally using my Super Speed Graphic the hammerhead of choice was a Pentax AF400T. With the several pound lead-acid Quantum battery...

    FotoFora, or for that matter any website community needs to embrace change to remain interesting and dynamic. As you recall, I created this venue initially as a 'stopgap' to provide an exit for a failing PhotoNet--which I had "fixed" as well as possible given the ownership constraints there...
