Hello all, hope you're doing great! I have become quite dormant on the forum, but I have slowly kept working. I recently rediscovered a Copper based process while I was working with Cuprous Chloride emulsions, I am going to share my lab notes and some examples in hopes you want to try it too...

Oh, it really does... The image above is the same print I showed you but today as opposed to December last year. I have decided to move on to a new process I recently rediscovered. I will be divulgating it in a new thread. Anton, sooner or later I will be trying your process. The info is...

I found that if I fully dried it completely lost its sensitivity, but if I exposed it while wet the Cu(0) nanoparticles that form the image are very susceptible to oxidation. What I do is dry the paper until it is not sticky to the touch, but before it completely loses the water from inside the...

"This is where it gets technical and I'm not going to disclose ratios of those copper halides that are light sensitive." ugh... thanks, Quinn? I think the best thing Quinn offers is the possibility to use pyrogallol in a D-1 formulation. Definitely trying it out since it's readily available...

that's my thread, wow! I stopped using Photrio altogether for a bunch of years, now, after becoming a chemistry undergrad and a fine arts undergrad, I have come back for a summer project, and here we are Anton, your process is stunning! I mean, just look at the images! I found it while...

wouldn't that change the chemistry of the process? from what I understand of the paper, the process relies on the in-situ synthesis of a Cu(I) coordination compound which in the dark decomposes into Cu(I) oxide while under the action of light proceeds to reduce to Cu(0). Now, I know for a...

Hey there, everyone! I have been fiddling with the Svinotype process for a while. It seems to be working, but I can't get the copper particles to adhere to my paper! The reaction happens on the surface of my negatives! yikes! what kind of paper are you using? I have been trying all my tests...

The other day I bought two rolls of 35mm color negative film. One is loaded in my camera right now. It really feels cumbersome. Too many photographs left until the roll is through, and I can't open the camera back. Plus, I discovered that shooting on color is very difficult for me... I guess I...

You're so right. If anything, learning a process is quite troublesome. I think most of us just want a recipe to refer to. Since none of us has tried bromoil, we don't know what to expect.

Hell yes!

Yesterday we had very beautiful clouds, so you're in luck! You can tell I don't have burnt blacks not completely white areas, I'm very happy with the exposure... To explain a little bit, if my go-to ASA rating would be 32 1/3, that means for properly photographing the sky (and just the sky) I...

Like always... haha Thank you so much!

Jnantz is so right. Paper will never behave the same way one time or another! My method works for me, though I have to admit that if I want to shoot something different than open shade still lifes I have to repeat the process. I call it "taming" a photographic process when one experiments until...

So sad to see this thread dead... :sad: I came up with the exact same idea yesterday. Didn't you just think of printing the pattern onto clear base stickers, then sticking them to the film base and exposing through it? I think that'd solve the registration issues (If the sticker doesn't...

Hello everyone. Even though I am referring to color photography, the basic materials behind the technique is still black and white, so I figured I'd better post in here rather than along all the C-41 threads. I recently read about the Dufay color plates. The Lumière Autochrome process is...
