Dude, I'm Geekin' Out Over Here! / Film & Darkroom / Re: Pulling FP4+?

Thanks guys. An ND filter is pretty much out - I'm shooting through the bare element, which is very wide. No way to secure the filter behind, or in front.
Scott, get a sheet filter in ND (4x4" or 6x6") and hold it in front of the lens with a stiff wire and alligator clips. Or, you can just hold it by one corner with your fingers if you have a free hand.

You might try a different developer, Scott. If I remember right, Microdol-X and Perceptol usually produce slightly less than full film speed. Some small decrease in dev time along with the other normal characteristic of those two developers may work well for a pull. I'd try it out on 35mm or MF to be sure you get what you want. 10x12 is a little dear for experimenting.  Or, use an ND filter and shoot like normal but without the filter factor?

It looks quite soft, Scott. I mean the lens, not your work! Makes me wonder how you pick a place to focus with that one, and how it looks to you on the glass when you're doing it. I think I would definitely need to put a loupe on the glass to find the "sweet spot" with that one.

Thanks Craig! Again, and again, and again, Thanks! I checked four or five times a day to see if the ogre stompin' was still going on. Today, all fresh and new. The world once again spins on its axis.

General / The F Stops Here / Re: AVG antivirus reporting you with "Blackhole Exploit Kit 1889"

Now, twice in my current session, AVG has blocked what it calls "threats", once as I logged on, and once as I opened the "F Stops Here" part for the forum. Both times, it (AVG) asked which option I would like to deal with this Blackhole Exploit thing. On my first opening of the forum main page, I was able to remove two threats. On opening into this part of the forum, (where I'm typing this), AVG asked if I wanted to read more about it or send it to the "Virus Vault", which is what was done.
I didn't get the file numbers on the first two pop up windows. I can try to do that if there is a next time, if it will help chasing this down, Craig.
