Paper negatives

[pasiasty]

You can use a fogging redeveloper if you are lazy. The side effect will be that the image will be sepia.

Which step could be omitted? If exposing, the gain is not big...

Would this be a research project or is there a known technique

I've read somewhere that the inversion can be made chemically, but I don't know more, but it seems interesting for portrait.

Appoline - a student of mine..

I got my self a nice old Gandolfi 5x4 Tailboard camera and fitted an ancient (ca 1854) (far too) big Ross Petzval lens on it (330mm)...

Paper negative.



... and then Marie - same story..

I'd say a pretty unsuccessful result. Do you have a normal shot for comparison?

I was going to recommend the paper film, film washi, and then I saw someone already posted about this on the forum.
In case you didn´t read about it.

It is orthochromatic film coating on thin washi paper. Gives nice fiber in the printed enlargements.
I met the frenchman who makes it this autumn, at Paris photo. He makes 4x5 and 120 sizes.

if you want papernegatives in a smaller size that really gives a papery-feeling in the prints.
