I was crusing around www.apug.org and found a link to a supplier of collodion supplies. I’ve been interested in this for some time, but have never taken the plunge.
http://lundphotographics.com/ seems to have a good range of supplies. Be sure to heed that safety warning since some of this stuff can kill you.

The Canon C300 digital video camera has been announced. This is not a replacement for the typical home camera. This is a pretty cool and very compact $20,000 camera. The people at engadget released the video below. I’ll add more videos if I find any worthwhile.
Here’s a video talking about the Canon C300 vs the Red Scarlet X. I’m not going to just duplicate his content, you can see it here. Going by specs, he likes the Red better. Real tests are better than specs though, so I’ll be waiting.
I’ll also post videos of the Red once those start showing up.
See more Canon, Red and other digital video cameras and movie cameras here.
Today’s camera is the uber sexy Shen Hao 6×17 field camera. This video gives a brief, but good overview of the movements available as well as the use of the film back.
I’d love to have a camera in this format. I think I’d have to decide whether to take the Shen Hao or a Fuji G-617.

Since video is all the rage, I wanted to pass along this video of D-Movie Mode Nikon photography by Bob Krist. This is from the Nikon School DVD.
Actually there are several videos with tips about making videos with your Nikon SLR. If you have a Nikon and you don’t know much about video like lens selection, image stabilization or other topics, these might be just the thing you need for some summer videos with your Nikon camera.

Here’s an interesting introduction to the Daguerreotype by Malcolm Daniels, Curator of the Dept of Photographs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY
In this video, Fred Newman of the viewcamerastore gives an overview of the supplies needed for 4×5 film development.
It’s that time of the year for you ultra large format photographers with special size needs to place your film order.
Fred Newman of the viewcamerastore.com is taking orders for Ilford film until June 17, 2011 for this year’s run of what are now specialty format film sizes.
Check out this video for more information:
In the video, he tells the email address to be notified of this event when it occurs. I don’t want to put it here because of spambot harvesting of email addresses, but it’s at the end of the video.
Also, I don’t see a direct link on their site for more information, so use the contact info from their video if you’re interested.
Here’s another photography forum that I think is worth checking out, especially if you shoot Canon digital cameras – Photography On The Net – Canon Digital Photography Forums
Here, you will find a very active set of discussion forums dealing with subjects like photography industry news, Canon gear, the business of photography, processing, printing, and photo sharing.
There is quite a bit of information here and these forums are very active.
