That is very interesting, very cool. So what kind of exposure times were required? I assume that you had to stop down appreciably to collimate your light... or not?
thanks suzanne, dida and keith...keith, i used f4 for 50 seconds but these are all lith prints which require longer exposures anyway..not sure what you would do with straight bw printing...with the weed prints i put the weed where the negative would normally go and just moved it around til i had the composition i wanted. some of the weed dropped down into the ummm well, down into the bellows area, whatever that is called...then i adjusted the focus accordingly....the glasses, of course, were placed on the paper. but i exposed all of them for 50 seconds at f4. hope this helps. my explanations are pretty elementary!
