what is the last thing you developed or printed

[pdeeh]

I'll look forward to seeing that john.

here, I made a few sepiaprints from one of the negatives I made the other week via interpos. They're pretty much OK.
When I'm in the mood again I'll have a go at making a few more negatives the same way. It's surprisingly easy.

Or maybe it's just because I've decided not to worry about the 19th Century print "quality" aesthetic of Stieglitz that seems to still grip the world of photographic printing that it seems easy?

hehehe

i'll try to load it up when i can !
those sepia prints sound FUN

I just printed a Sunlight Platinum photogram of a cannabis leaf from my garden, now legal in Oregon.

I'm looking forward to seeing it too... did you expose it in a camera for 3 days???! Would love to see the sepiaprint too pdeeh.
I'm getting better at making paper negatives from interpositives made with Mortensen's process... can almost get a good results by eye, just watching the image appear, but I can also tell the process has a lot more potential if I had more time to practice and play with it.

You just wouldn't like them john, they only take 5 minutes to expose ...

Would love to see the sepiaprint too pdeeh.

They were just test prints really, I threw the senstiser together by eye and (ironically in view of what I mentioned the other day to you) the prints have all got fog, some of it really bad.
But I'll scan the best one (with my digital scanner to digitise it ) and upload here later.

 

[pdeeh]

Ok here we are.

First a scan of the print
Then a 'phone snap of the negative on a lightbox.

The original neg is a 6x6 HP5 shot in a post-WWII Nettar, duped to positive on 20-30 year old lith film & developed in very dilute D23 with some BZTZ in, then enlarged onto lith again and developed similarly to produce the printing negative.

The highlights are just a bit too dense, so needs a tad less development in the negative stage plus perhaps a bit flatter interpos.

Did you use an exposure time of 4' 20"?

Did you use an exposure time of 4' 20"?

No. Also I am not a consumer of pot... except as a sleep aid sometimes. I grew it in my garden this year out of curiosity since it is legal to do so.

 

[NedL]

First a scan of the print...

For a test print that looks awesome The color looks nice and fits the subject.
I can imagine the highlights could get too dense for sepiaprint... I've only printed paper negatives but I noticed that negatives that would print well with salt got muddy darks...

 

[pdeeh]

yes, good colour but overall rather veiled and a bit flat.
better paper prep and a bit of size will help

hey ned
nope it wasn't an in camera exposure for 3 days but
in a contact frame.
i found some rubbings i did a while ago ( a year or year 1/2? )
that were on 14x17 xerox paper ... i waxed them with paraffin a few days ago and
made a collage our of the waxed rubbings, i cut them up because they didn't fit in my frame
so i stacked and left them
i moved them around following the sun, and open shade
then again .. and again.
i added the watercolors this afternoon, and i am thinking of putting pastel oils
( crayons ) on it too but i have to live with it a few days as it is ...
sort of a combination of the first boston album and an alien abduction

[NedL]

Cool!
Rubbing, then contact print in sections, then watercolors.... the print has become more than its parts....

 

[pdeeh]

very

thanks !

Printed some street photography for an exhibition next month, and sepia toned a few weeks ago for a small show later this month!

You really do need some darkroom work to get a fuller idea of what film works for you and how to shoot/process it, that's what the past month has reminded me of.

 

[removed account4]

last things i printed were from a trip to france 2 years ago and they were taken with a nikon i can't talk about here,
BUT i make some waxed paper negatives thanks to my local "copy world", and my local grocery store ( i ran out of parafin )
and i made some cyanotypes ( 4 hour exposure in mostly direct sunlight yesterday )
unfortunately i cant post them here but you can see them on dpug
one is of a basilica in france ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vézelay_Abbey )
the other is a wrecked delivery truck near where we parked
(last 2 uploads http://www.dpug.org/gallery/browseimages.php?do=member&imageuser=62)

 

[removed account4]

just finished these
4up stuff locally acquired
and locally exposed
crayon over stripped cyanotype
then watercolor




and a few more paper negatives cyanotypes at dpug

I finally tried lith printing. I'm pretty happy with the results I got, specially considering that I used 30 yeard old agfa brovira paper!

Old paper can often give you really interesting results!

Another two 120 FP4 rolls in the same Ilfosol. Ilford did a great job improving keeping qualities of this brew.

Another 120 roll of HP5 in the same Ilfosol 3 which is now 5 years old. The negs seems a bit light though, not underdeveloped, more like underexposed. I will ditch the remaing developer now, but I'm fairly surprised that it lasted 5 years in a half full bottle, cool stored though.

If you are patient enough! The image took between 15 to 20 minutes to show up with decent blacks!

 

[pdeeh]

made some more dupes and negatives from them. used lc1b. less successful this time. will stick to d23 I think

 

[miha]

Some 4x5s onto Ilford Warmtone FB.

 

[TheFlyingCamera]

I'm about to develop 8 rolls of 120 Ilford FP4+ in Pyrocat HD, to be printed in palladium. They're more from my "Sinister Idyll" series about historical slavery in the modern pastoral landscape.

 

[JPJackson]

6 sheets 5x7 FP4+; Xtol 1+1

another carbon transfer over kallitype.
