Hi,
I'm from Bulgaria and this week I'll be staying in The Hague, so I'm interested in meeting up with fellow photographers in the region. So, if anyone has the time or ability, it would be...

ImSoNegative, thanks.

A few landscapes from my first trip into the wild with a LF camera (8x10 DIY, weighs a heck of a ton :) . The Rila Mountain Range in Bulgaria, all shots have been taken above 6000ft altitude, which...

My first experiments into cyanotypes. I love the look of other alternative processes, but I find that the cyanotype is a nice start, and something I can build on.

Wow, really incredible things are posted :)
So, this is my first real try at shooting flowers. Orchids.

Not that much of a landscape, nor a shot that I consider good; nevertheless, I keep shooting, as I feel an urge to do so :)

A landscape from yesterday. When I arrived at the lake, the clouds had cast magnificent shadows right beyond the tree, but by the time I set up for a shot, they had gone and after 1/2 hour waiting...

This winter, I spent a great deal of time at home, so I had little chance of taking portraits of anyone but my family and me. So this one I think I haven't shown:...

My dad as an "intellectual" :D

Reversal processing of RA-4 paper can be done in color, but in B/W, I doubt it. Though you can do the negative on color paper and then print on B/W?

You can also develop it as a panchromatic b/w film, but it gives a pretty low Dmax - probably suited for contrasty scenes though ;)

PS: on my blog there are several portraits on RA-4 paper, all exposure times are below 3.5secs

So far I just scan and invert, because my color paper stash is too low to use to make prints as well, and i would guess I will use up a lot of in experimenting. I'm sure that with a color enlarger...

And my humble contribution:
RA-4 paper negative 8x10

Brilliant, makes me wish I had real color film :)

My first color portrait/self-portrait, but nevertheless/
18x24cm RA-4 color paper negative, developed at room temp
...just hope I got the attachment right :p

Another attempt at a nature-morte with a color paper negative (RA4)
I'm experiencing issues with emulsion lift-off, and various defects.
"Still life of common recreational drugs"...

Jackpie,
i'm glad you like it! This is a color paper negative on Kodak Endura paper, probably 6 or 7 years old. The RA-4 dev and the blix were decanted from a processor at a local minilab, so I...

It's not much of an artistic image, but this it my first color still life. Shot on Kodak Supra Endura as a paper negative

Scott, the double exposure is on old ORWO lith film. The film is very fogged and contrasty, but shot at 3 asa, it gives pleasant tones and contrast.
PP: it's also a self portrait, which made things...

or, just seeing the logo up front this may be a Globica studio camera

This looks like a Mentor Studio camera. They are very common in Eastern bloc countries, having been manufactured in DDR. The film holders are specific and will only fit this camera. The built-in...

This sweet piece, carefully set up to perfection
is completely disfunctional

A big catch

Well, I started out about a year and a half ago with a 35mm SLR, shot mostly color and had it processed by the photo-lab. Slowly, I took up developing and printing my photographs and moved up to...

I've posted several photos in the image-sharing section. BTW, I forgot to add that the film and plate holders are also DIY

10х, Tук е със ал. статив за проба, иначе си има и Diy дървен такъв.

:p maybe it because I'm still a kid
well, 16 still qualifies:cool:

Two second-graders wanted their portrait taken whilst I was doing some attempts at landscape shots. I like how well the unsensitized silver emulsion of the FB paper I was using coped with the skin...

Thank you, r.e.
