Introduction To Brass Instruments

From the time of their introduction to the market, panchromatic emulsions have been know to retain some of the sensitivity to blue light than the human eye does. Modern emulsions are better, but still benefit visually with the use of a Wratten #8, a.k.a. K2 yellow filter. Being a throwback stubbornly devoted to film, my lenses always have a #8 aboard, whenever I’m making black and white images, unless other contrast control filters are needed for specific circumstances. I can’t say I have done any technical comparisons between the actual bandwidth of filters manufacturers, but have used Tiffen filters for years, with no problems. My only minor gripe is they use aluminum instead of brass rims, which can lead to more frequent jamming, unless extra care is used when installing them. In a perfect world, they would use brass for their rims, and maintain their price point. And my car would start reliably at temperatures below freezing... Users should always keep a filter wrench in their kit when using these. I also treat my filter’s threads with a VERY LIGHT film of synthetic lubricant like SuperLube or Syl-Glide. Avoid lithium grease for all photographic equipment! It’s reactive with most of the alloys used in our precious gear, and degrades into a hard cheesy mess over time. Anyway, Tiffen filters have never disappointed, and are a fine choice, compared to the pricier brands. Of course, ULF users probably could care less, but still—

This is a work horse mic used by every sound engineer to record any type of instruments:brass, percussion, etc.

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

Great film! Have been using it since re- introduction a few years.

As the introduction says, it's good for typing for a long time.

Easy to set up and is a great introduction into getting into vinyl.

Great introduction to papers you may not be familiar with

The paper was used for my introduction to digital photography and it was perfect for it.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

Good viewing, portable. Fun introduction to the skies.
