Experiment: making a paper negative (on b&w photographic paper) with my LF camera (a Russian FKD 18x24 cm) using my hat as a shutter. I photographed the inside of an old church in Naarden, The Netherlands. This is a beautiful church with a wonderful wooden, painted ceiling and a beautiful organ. It's also the location for the annual Mattheus Passion performance.

I loaded a sheet of photographic paper in the wooden film tray and exposed it at ISO 3. Since it was indoors, I got an exposure time of 54 minutes. Since the lens has no shutter, I used the lens cap as a shutter. There were some visitors in the church, but they don't show in the negative. One person stopped for about 5 minutes to look at the organ and appears in the image as a ghost.

I hope to use this paper negative for making some alt-photo prints in the future (maybe some salt or albumen prints?)
 
'Spectacular looking church. 'Seems like the experiment went pretty well. 'Would love to see a straight shot of it also. From this, it looks like the range of light might be difficult to hang on to. Bravo on a fine work.
