I like it.
I used X-ray film before using paper negatives but I rarely avoided scratches. I got scratches in the trays but mostly when I loaded them on the film holder.
Paper might be more expensive when new...
Thank you James, I saw that video before but forgot he used concentrated hydrogen peroxide. I used the drug store one, probably a 3% solution.
Donkittle, I would love to chat with you in private...
I also tried to bleach paper negatives with hydrogen peroxide a few weeks ago and spent about an hour in the darkroom but never got it completely bleached. Can you tell us more about your technique?
Thanks. I don't think I did anything special but maybe Caffenol is better for paper negatives? I do know it's a lot better to lower the contrast compared to regular paper developers.
Here are a...
Thank you. I'm not sure what you mean about the first photo but there was a light leak from a couple holes in the bellows. It's more noticable on the last photo.
I think I fixed the holes but I have...
Here is the camera in action:

It's hard to tell but there was water still falling when I took that shot a couple days ago:

Sorry, it looks like I missed your message.
I have never received the package so I'm not sure what was declared but the Ebay listing did have the "mahogany" word in the title.
Well, I just ordered a wooden half plate camera from Japan so if it arrives safely to Canada, it will be the one I will take for my travels.
Hello and welcome here.
Congratulations for your website and photos, I love them. My favorite one is your very first 4x5 shot, the farmhouse.
Hello from Canada and welcome here
Bonjour Michel and welcome here. Any photo of the "pont" to share? :D
That's what I meant, there are none in local ads and I paid $30 for my 4490 scanner with all accessories. :D
Epson 4990 are good but hard to find. I have an older 4490 that's even cheaper, it won't scan wide enough for a 4x5 negative but you can scan it in 2 passes and stich the images together with...

Me with a no name 5x7 camera. Unlike what it seems, my left hand took that photo with 4x5 camera placed on the other side.
Yes, I'm not crazy about the puddle one but I'm very happy with the two other photos.
Wow! I wonder if I will ever find a photo like this one in my film holders. lol
I took more photos today and again, I forgot my yellow filter so I tried to avoid the sky. :D

Very nice! A lot better than my first caffenol paper negative. :D
Thank you. The Kodak photo paper used expired in the 1950's and was very fogged. That's what give it this look and it was not planed. :D
Thanks. A frame for what? To place it on a wall? :D
I don't know about that, I am still on learning and training stage with a 4x5 camera. When I will be ready, I will use my 8x10 camera to...

What kind of filters do you use? I tried an orange Ilford contrast filter in front of the lens from a window today but the sky is nothing like yours.

I downloaded your Guidebook For Paper Negative Making on Facebook James, it's very usefull and I will try a yellow or orange filter for next time I shoot a sky. Your sky is very nice on that photo.
Sorry for my question. My eyes must have been out of focus. :cool:
I had a light meter app on my phone but it didn't have a spot meter. I have now found one that does, thank you Oldparson.
