In the old days, I plied my trade with an assortment of enlargers, trays, tanks, and jugs of dangerous chemicals. That was then. Today, that’s all gone — replaced by computers and software.

Here’s some of the computer equipment used by ULTRAsomething Photography:

  • Apple Mac Pro
  • Apple MacBook Air
  • Apple iPad & Phone (Seriously! “Dev Chart” and “Easy Release” are essential)
  • NEC PA271W-BK-SV 27″ monitor (for critical editing)
  • Dell 24″ HD monitor (for palettes)
  • NEC Spectraview II monitor calibration
  • Color Vision Spyder 2 Pro monitor calibration
  • Epson Stylus Pro 3880 printer
  • Epson Perfection V600 photo scanner
  • Plustek 7600i ai 35mm film scanner
