Back when I was a nipper (some 60 years ago ...) we lived right by a farm that 
grew hops.
The hop fields looked rather different from those that Philip shows; they 
started out the same,
but about five feet up the hops split four ways, going out to four different 
points about
another five feet up.

Harvesting was done using a tractor driving between the hop poles with a man 
supported in a
tower behind the tractor driver's seat; the second man reached out and cut the 
hops 10' up
with a sharp blade on the end of a pole.

Originally the hops were just transported to a nearby field for hand picking 
(by itinerant
seasonal workers, mostly from the east end of London, but including a few 
Romany groups)
somewhat later one of the barns was converted to house an automated hop picking 
machine.

Our next-door neighbour was the hop foreman; when the farm got out of hop 
production he
was hired by Whitbread to manage their hop gardens - the largest in Europe at 
the time.

PDML Photo Annual update

[Mark Roberts]

Sorry I've been silent for a while but you know how life intervenes on
things...

We've got all the photos saved and organized and we've almost finished
making the selections. I'm in the middle of Spring Break but, as you
may have heard, also in the middle of a major storm hitting the east
coast. It's turned out to be not quite as bad as feared but I still
spent most of the day shoveling wet, heavy snow out of the driveway.

I've got the theme for this year's book settled and most (but not all)
of the typography sorted. In the next couple of days I'll try to get
through to Doug Brewer for a final consult on photo selection. In the
meantime I'll be working my way through the graphic design of the main
section header pages and assorted other oddities. (It's gonna be
really cool. Trust me.)

In short, things are proceeding as usual: I've started out in a deep
fit of depression, not knowing how this thing will ever come together,
and proceeded on to a sudden fit of inspiration leading into the
oppressive weight of the onerous workload ahead and the panic of not
knowing if Doug will deliver his Foreword on time, to be followed
eventually by the exhilaration of the release of the final
publication.

That's the plan, anyway.

Re: PESO: hops are ready

Rick
about that, they are tall. I was on the side of a hill to get the 
overall look.There is tractors and harvesting machinery in the 
middle but they are hard to see the bines are that tall.

you'd better get on with it, then. That beer won't make itself.

I get hops growing in my back yard. Not as much as that though. I think it 
blows in from the brewery round the corner.

PESO: hops are ready

The hops are ready for harvest in Tasmania's Derwent Valley.

Pentax K1 and 21mm limited lens. I shot it full frame and cropped it in

For sale to a darkroom enthisuast

[Bill]

I know this is normally a Friday thing, but my weeks are so screwed 
around right now that it may as well be Friday.


Anyway, I found, while digging through my crates of junk that I am 
trying to winnow out, a piece of equipment that would be of interest to 
anyone still running a darkroom.


The article is a Zone VI Compensating enlarger timer, complete with 
photocell.
This is pretty much the cat's ass of darkroom timers, especially if you 
are using a coldlight (more on that in a moment)


The photocell will, when mounted into the lightbox, adjust the time to 
compensate for variations in light intensity. It also has a drydown 
compensation of up to 15% to take into account the fact that photographs 
look brighter in the fixer tray than they will when dry.


This isn't my timer, but it looks the same:

https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QX2DdDBYJF0/maxresdefault.jpg

The more in a moment part: I also found an Aristo cold light head with 
an adapter ring to fit the Beseler 4x5. The head is prepped to take the 
photocell.
IIRC, it needed about a 40 yellow filter to bring the light to a grade 2 
when using Ilford multigrade paper. I no longer have that filter, but 
one shouldn't be too difficult to obtain.


The timers seem to go for about US$150.00 on eBay. I will let the timer 
and head go for Can$150.00, buyer pays shipping.


thanks

bill
