I just made 5 6x6 contacts on Namias papier sepia. Exposure time in nearly midday sunshine about one minute. The other extreme from John!
Fixed in rapid fixer like you ain't supposed to do with altprinting. Look OK to me tho'
They're in soak'n'dump for the rest of the day so no scans to post yet.

For Port Anniversary Hamburg I was on Stettin steam icebreaker oldtimer ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Stettin_(1933) ), and I have made couple of photos:

Here we are, quick scans, colour not exact but close.
They look, as so often with prints, better and sharper in the hand than on screen.

A large copy negative so I can make a large carbon and kallitype print... hopefully. That was on Sunday. Can't get to printing until I make large enough tissue... starting to get too warm in my darkroom...might have to wait and just go for a kallitype for now.

devellped a stack of Fomapan both 35mm and 120

I made 5 6x6 cyanotypes.

I put the last one straight into an acidic solution of wine tannin for 5 min to wash, then rinsed it in plain water and it's now been sitting in a plain water solution of tannin for about 90min.

(Because I couldn't be arsed to wait for it to dry and then bleach it and all that jazz)

It's turned a rather gorgeous deep plummy purpley colour, nearly black really.

But it has stained the paper a reddish-purple too, which is a bit disappointing.

pdeeh · May 28, 2017

Here we go. The colours of the untoned one are pretty close, but I can't get the inky richness of the toned one right in the scan. But at least should offer an idea of how they look. Also much sharper in the hand than the scans make them look.

tokam · May 29, 2017

pdeeh, they look gorgeous. According to HCB, 'Sharpness is a bourgeois notion'. Your not printing on glossy paper so the texture of the base will have an effect. Matted and framed they will look great.

Cheers, Martin

pdeeh · May 29, 2017

Thanks Martin. I'm not a sharpness obsessive by any means but the scans do look fuzzy and don't render the image well precisely becausp of paper texture. It's one of the reasons I don't post many images. This was really to illustrate colour.

pdeeh · May 30, 2017

Made some more cyanotypes.

This time from a digitally scanned negative which I manipulated in my digital computer using digits, then printed out digitally on my digital printer onto tracing paper to make a slightly bigger negative.

Then I messed about toning them with a decoction of rosemary. This leaves the paper a very pale creamy yellow, and pitches the blue towards a very cool black.

Hi,

I exposed four plates (6.5x9cm) of Perutz Silbereosin made in the 1930s yesterday in a microscope camera (Zeiss Miflex) from the 30s on a 1929 microscope.
Developed in Rodinal 1:50, some are fine, some quite foggy...
Thats the game with such very old dry plates, I love it anyway.

Greetings
Jens

the last thing i printed was made with a negative i purchased for 75¢ at my local xerox shop ( really kinkos )
it is about 6x8ish printed on a sheet of overhead transparancy film that is about 8.5x11. in broad daylight
i took out a sheet of expired photo paper and put it in a contact printing frame with the xerox negative
and left it in a southern facing ( sort of ) window for 2 days of overcast light, rain and not much sun.
the day i photographed was like a snow squall, overcast and dark.

A salted-paper print sensitised with ammonio-nitrate of silver

Cholentpot · Jun 7, 2017

Just stand developed 2 rolls of expired C-41. One was shot on a Kodak VR and the other in a C3 with a panoramic mask. I call it the Panargus.

Me too, today. But mine ended up solid dark brown 2 minutes after I sensitized it, so I can't call it a "print".
That won't stop me from trying it again though

Oops, I should have said sensitised with ammonio-nitrate of silver and Ferric Ammonium citrate.
Not the same thing (but I am going to try one just with a-n of s if it ever stops raining)

Oh, and Viva la Revolución

pdeeh · Jul 5, 2017

this morning, I made half a dozen little sepiaprints.
this afternoon, I developed a roll of Neopan 1600 I've had in the camera for about 3 or 4 months. Finally shot the last two frames yesterday. I have a weird aversion to not developing a roll unless I have squeezed every possible shot out of it, even if there are shots I'm keen to see. D23 1:1, 9m30s @ 20C.

Some shots of my daughters with the 'blad and 150 Sonnar on Delta 400, printed on Agfa Record Rapid 12x16. Old but fabulous.

Did you take the photographs with the Hasselblad and the 150mm lens or were your daughters holding the Hasselblad and the 150mm lens? Interested readers want to know!
