Traveling negative anyone?

Well, just pulled the print off the drying stand:

As I have an enlarger with the ability to tilt the negative carrier stage, I was able to use that and spread the focus across a tilted easel. This allowed me to correct the slight keystoning of the image.

Details:
Beseler 45MX, Nikkor EL-50/2.8
Overall exposure @ f/16 for 25 seconds, sky burned in at f/11 for an additional 40 seconds
Ilford MGIV Multigrade paper, Multigrade developer, stop bath & fixer.

That looks great!

I think I'm going to have to bookmark all of these images so that I can see them side by side.

Great work 480sparky !

rpavich · Mar 29, 2016

Looking at these images next to each other is interesting. We should upload them to a flickr album labeled with who did what.

jeffreythree · Mar 29, 2016

That is a good one 480sparky. I like how you corrected the keystoning in the darkroom. It is just another of those darkroom tricks I did not know about learning on my own.

Neg is all packaged up and headed to LarsAC (in Germany) later today!

I agree.
It's hard comparing prints trolling through 100+ thread replies. Set in a gallery on APUG or flickr or ??? would allow us to see the changes and effects each one produces in the darkroom

Nice higher contrast version 408sparky!

Suggestion: subscribers can post in (there was a url link here which no longer exists) gallery.

It helps to have a negative carrier stage that can tilt. Otherwise, you're limited to the DOF of the lens. By tilting the negative, I alter the place of focus of the projected image. I then tilt my easel to correct for the keystoning, and the place of focus is the same as the easel.

Takes a lot of finagling and fiddling to accomplish, but it is possible once you understand the physics.

Stopped by the Post Office earlier and sent the negative off to LarsAC.

This is my preference, I can't be bothered signing up for anything else.

Would anyone mind if I collected each picture and put them into a Flickr album as they are posted here and provide the link?

Even the Apug gallery is going to be tough to navigate when it has lots of comments and such. I think that there is value in seeing these prints side by side and one after another. At least for me there is.

Well?

Any objections?

darkosaric · Mar 30, 2016

Go ahead rpavich - no objections .

Thanks!

I'll do it later today and provide the link, right now I'm at work and they limit upload file size.

Hi,

we have actually already 3 prints: one from Ned was the first one, post number 67: (there was a url link here which no longer exists)

Can you please add it to the flickr as well?

And two negatives...

I just received Antmar's reverse travelling negative. Hope to get to it in the next couple of days,.

LarsAC · Apr 9, 2016

Received negative from Sparky very very well packed yesterday - many thanks.

Planning to print the next couple of days, but need to setup some chemicals first after not having used my darkroom for more than three months due to an extension of our family ...

Regards,
Lars

NedL · Apr 10, 2016

Darko's negative has traveled 35,948 km or 22,337 miles.
Antmar's reverse traveling negative has traveled 8,196 miles or 13,147 km.

Oxleyroad · Apr 14, 2016

Ned keep up the travelled distances I find this interesting

LarsAC · Apr 18, 2016

Finally, I was able to print last weekend ... After the bar was raised high already, I decided to go an alternative route using lith and a sheet of Forte Polywarmtone, Hope, you like it !
