>>2977881Yep, there's definitely a huge case of "photos for photographers" that happens rather often. Internet popularity and print sales rarely coincide. I haven't used a Pentax 6x7 and don't know much about them. I'm sure they are pretty big.
>>2978196Surprisingly I've had no bad run-ins with predators out there even though I'm often in bear country. It's bound to happen sometime so I'm always prepared for an encounter.
I haven't messed with wet plate, but I have been working on a process using a liquid emulsion to make prints onto brushed stainless steel under the enlarger. It's finally coming together.
Looks like I found some b&w to develop.
