Glad you think so TheToadMen! I was happy to see that things on the HarmanPP don't work much harder than on standard films (except low sensitivity).

Great first results, Misko. Let's see more!

Harman Direct Positive Paper

I wanted to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. I've learned a lot, even before shooting my first frame of this paper.

I finally took the pludge and I'm finding it very useful for my light painting purposes. I think I will be able to achieve a pretty good tonal range by controlling my light movement. This was my first test. Now that I have a sense of how much light to use, I think I'll get better results as I progress. This is painted with a small mag lite. I scanned on a crappy Epson multiuse scanner/copier/printer (which explains the color cast, but I kind of like it . Brought into PS to clean up some dust. Shot on 4x5.

I have a question though, Do reds and browns translate to much darker/muted tones? That is the impression I got but haven't really verified. Also, does anyone have a picture of a Macbeth color chart (shot on this paper) they can share? That would be great!

Thanks

Alex

I shot all together 8-9 frames of Harman DPP so far but one of the 1st things I've did was a real life test I've did with natural light. Will have to repeat that with the artificial & flash lights too (since I believe it will give different results if in nothing else then in sensitivity)…

Hope it helps & I hope nobody minds me posting those tech shots among all the art here?


Cheers,
