Paper negatives

[John Olsen]

New here...but thought I'd post an image from a paper negative, 5 x 7 field camera. Attachment 171552

I really like the colorizing treatment. What did you do for that?

I brought in the color with filters in Lightroom. The paper was developed in Caffenol-C which I think also affected the color.

Hi Anne

I like it a lot and can see your 'painting influence(s) too

Good luck and regards

Well done!

Perhaps a silly question, perhaps not.
Does anyone use flash when taking a [paper negative] image?
If so, how do they compute the GN for the assumed paper ISO.
I reduce the flash gun GN by 4 fold from 30 [iSO100, metres] to 7.5 for an assumed ISO of 6.
BUT all I get is a black image.

all the time... but as I have no idea what GN is I can't help you there...

I use my flash full power - iso close to 12...
works like a charm

What flash, what typically is flash to subject distance ?
- I'm grasping at straws, trying to comprehend problem

Tony,

if all you get is a black image - try to move the flash further away from the paper, to lessen the strength of the output. Another way is to "pre-flash" it in the enlarger, if you have one.

Here is some general pointers - https://pinholeblender.wordpress.com...e-photography/ - but I guess there is a bunch of others, more or less complicated.
