Paper negatives

[Martin Aislabie]

A paper negative from yesterday. MGIV RC 10x8”, Deardorff, TTH Cooke Apotal 18”. F/64, 4mins with a yellow filter. Developed in Ilford PQ Universal. Spotmetered at iso 3 with the filter. No shutter on the lens so did it with a hat over the lens. Beanie though, maybe i should buy a top hat or bowler.

What looks like streaks in the water are actually reflections from the rockface above and out of shot. While I was exposing this (literally mid exposure) a guy came up to me and what started out as the usual “ooh that’s funny looking camera” banter ended up being a chat about the rock climbing in this quarry, as he’d climbed some of the routes in the 1980s as a younger man, and he actually climbed with a guy who lives a few doors down my street back in day. Funny how these big cameras always prompt a conversation.

Thanks - I was struggling with the paper negs a first but I think the yellow filter has helped a lot.
