Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

[Jim Fitzgerald]

Some have wanted to know what portraits look like with x-ray film. This is my oldest son shot on green x-ray film and it is not a negative scan but a carbon print.

That is terrific, Jim.

Richard, thanks.

Still working. I think I need to rate my film a little higher, maybe 80 or 100. Shadows were too hot before editing.

Corran,

WOW ! You've got it nailed !
Great range.

[Corran]

Thanks, though I still have lots of work to do to master this stuff.

Amazing, the portraits are so nice. Is there a place that sells xray film that is precut in 4x5 sizes? I do not have a darkroom (or access to one) so cutting at home will be difficult.
