    Re: Paper Negs Only

    During the school's semester I only have a small amount of time (on weekends mostly) to make images, so paper negs allow me to shoot and process quickly... better than a polaroid proof, especially with 8x10. I hope to make contact prints, but like Jim it's wonderful to scan and invert them for visual gratification.

    This was shot shortly after I bought a Century or Kodak 8x10, way back in the late 80's. Single weight paper used as a negative, then contact printed, and scanned. I love the film noir feel and the textures coming thru the fibers of the neg. Makes me think I'd like to do this again!

    8x10 RC paper neg (Arista EDU.Ultra) in Dektol 1+4, probably 3 minutes.
    Seneca Improved View camera, Home made lens, single element 400mm. Lots and lots of extension on the camera! Single light source. Exposure unrecorded.

    This is the negative and I like it better than the way the positive print looks. This totem pole came Alaska in the 30's I think. My grandparents brought it back. Used to scare the dickens out of me as a little kid.

    Neat image. I agree it's perfect as a neg.

    Very good-
    I wouldn't have seen it as a neg at all, if you hadn't told me-

    Looks like a nice lens too-
    though it is very small here, of course...

    Maybe it should be called "paper noir".

    That was fun! The paper's reciprocity failure gave me a hard time, but here is my first demonstrable result. 8 min @ ~f/8 (an old brass lens from Simon Benton), 8x10 Ilford Multigrade Warmtone RC, 2 min rotary in Dektol.
