Doug A Posted May 7, 2017 Share #32126 Posted May 7, 2017 Bah. I just got done mixing Kodak Fixer from powder. I think I'm done with that stuff. I mixed it outside on my deck, and it was fairly windy, but I can still feel it in my throat. It didn't help that I used a coffee filter to pour it into the jug from my mixing bucket, which took forever, but still. Think I will be order Kodafix from now on. How unsafe in the fixer for breathing? This is one of the negatives of traditional processing (no pun intended ) According to the MSDS it is pretty nasty stuff, especially in the powder form. I stopped using photo chemicals in powder form a number of years ago. I realized it wasn't just me that might be harmed by an accident, but other family members as well. http://www.freestylephoto.biz/static/pdf/msds/kodak/KodakFixer.pdf 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stray cat Posted May 7, 2017 Share #32127 Posted May 7, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Wow you begin to interest me Phil Nice shot and well framing Thanks Henry Merci bien, Henry. I have discovered I really like taking pictures at museums and galleries. People are absorbed in the act of "looking" and "seeing" and in turn become interesting participants in the show. Also, as they are absorbed, it is relatively simple to take their picture - either with or without their knowledge. Either is fine with me. And I found, particularly at places like this one at Boston, that I became absorbed myself in the observation of light and shadow and how it might relate to a black and white photograph. I met Elliott once at one of his openings in Atlanta. Very nice guy. We talked for quite a while. I also adore his work. I can only imagine that he would be amongst the most fascinating people to talk with. His career attests to a life spent savouring interesting and varied experiences and situations that are part of our collective history. Not unlike a slightly latter HC-B. What a fabulous opportunity you had! What a cracking, brilliant shot! Timing, angle, composition, exposure, dev and contrast, all spot on (for me). Thanks! Cheers J Thanks so much, J. Please see my comments to Doc (above). When you see this sort of chiaroscuro, when you are in that frame of mind to look for it, it is pretty compelling to try to get a picture. This is stunning, Phil - Great shot! Thank you very much again, Eoin. I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I have been constantly impressed with your street pictures using an 85mm on an SLR. The one in the rain, of the lady carrying an umbrella, is a wonderful shot. I find there is a compelling argument to always take mycamera out in the rain - it is a bit like the museums/galleries thing where people are preoccupied - that the rain changes people's behaviour (generally speaking) from fairly bland (usually) to that bit more interesting, because some minor chaos has entered their activity. Also, as in the case with that photo, if they carry an umbrella they have at least one hand occupied, and this in shot up around their upper body, which adds a lot to the description of who they are. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnuyork Posted May 7, 2017 Share #32128 Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) According to the MSDS it is pretty nasty stuff, especially in the powder form.

I realized it wasn't just me that might be harmed by an accident, but other family members as well. http://www.freestylephoto.biz/static/pdf/msds/kodak/KodakFixer.pdf Thanks for that... it seems in reading that fixer is not carcinogenic which is my biggest concern. But I'm not sure I still want to take any chances. I'll stick with Kodafix for the future or other liquid fixers. I was outside with seemingly plenty of ventilation, but as I was pouring the bag of powder in my bucket a gust of wind blew a bit in my nose and it burned slightly. Also I could feel irritation in my throat just from being near the mixed liquid, since I had to slowly pour it from the bucket into the bottle. The Chemex coffee filter I used slowed the process down significantly. I do this if I'm mixing chemicals outside because I live in a wooded area and there's always debris/small bugs as I mix chemicals, I like to filter them out for the bottle.

I agree with this, too, Phil. Despite their valiant efforts to stay focused on maintaining a city persona, with the rain, Nature intrudes, and makes itself known. A great time to have one's eyes open. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
