I have worked up a body of work mainly using the Phase IQ4150 Achromatic of old Ghost towns and those images are fantastic when printed on Ilford paper out toġ7×34”. For color prints I want to have some snap to the image with highlight and shadow detail as desired.

Then after 24 hours of degassing, I rate the print for all the qualities important to me which are usually brightness, contrast and if B&W also the full tonal range with deep blacks and whitest of whites. I keep a notebook where I record the details of each print made with camera used, file number, how the image was processed in color or B&W or both, paper choice, Epson printer name and settings where Photoshop runs the printer and not the other way around. It is amazing what those extra few inches can do for a nice, large file in landscape mode at 360dpi. I print only B&W on this paper and have dialed in my Medium Format files to my satisfaction with this approach. For paper consistency I now concentrate on using Epson Exhibition Fiber Paper in17x22”and 13×19” for both color and B&W and Ilford Smooth Pearl roll paper for prints from 17×24 to 17×34”. Initially I decided to use images which were already printed to get me into the ballpark for a photo book since as we all know what you see on the monitor if printed without adjustment will print too dark.
I realize there are other options for making photo books, but I have only tried Blurb so far. This article takes one through the good and bad steps I have experienced while creating a Blurb photo book and is written for someone who has little or no experience in creating a Blurb Photo book. I mainly use Capture One and a little Photoshop. While searching my hard drives for old images to process with new and updated RAW conversion engines, I finally decided to create a photo book since in the past I never made enough time to make one. In order to break up the months of boredom I have written a few articles for called Dusting off the Hard Drives, parts 1 and 2. "FLUSH is a quirky, informational, out-of-the-box bathroom book that's making waves in the business.Share on Twitter Dusting Off The Hard Drives Part 3ĭuring these difficult times we all know what is involved in keeping safe and for the most part it has meant staying home and not getting out capturing images which is what we all enjoy. If you'd like a book that's unlike any other, bringing a refreshing and entertaining take on a somewhat "undiscussed" subject and adorned with beautiful photography, you will be pleased and amazed by FLUSH: Celebrating Bathrooms Past & Present." - Tom Gulley, The Tom Gulley (radio) Show With a variety of subjects, lightings, and moods that create a mosaic of great photos, not just a one trick pony. The kind of half-photojournalism, half art photo that makes for a spectacular coffee table book. You'd want this book for the photography alone. Steve Gottlieb wonderfully covers the subject of the bathroom from history to lore to technology-in a way that is at once history book and masterful storytelling. "Can a book about bathrooms be eloquent, artful, humorous, and downright surprising? You bet it can. FLUSH: Celebrating Bathrooms Past & Present
