"Smokin' in the Boy's Room..."
Cool shot!An oooooold shot from a year or so ago! This is on Kodalith Ortho, so insensitive to red.
For this one I had the barrel lens attached to a Packard shutter (see the shutter mod in my sig) and triggered the flash by hand.
but why, may I ask, did you put your fuji shots in the microwave???
Love it, love it, love it!!!I've posted this elsewhere, but it's my self-portrait of the moment, from December 2007, Chicago Navy Pier--
Why did I do it?
Because I could!
I wanted to see the result. It was a big black spot in the middle of the image. Hah!
I used to heat sx70 whilst it dried with a lighter, maybe not the same effect, but gives a beautiful crazing to the emulsion. No doubt read it in a 70's photo/darkroom book
Well not quite LF but at least a linhof! Man I looked like an idiot with longer hair.
For the same reason Ash gave, I put an SX-70 print in the microwave -- sparks flew...I did not realize that there was metal foil in them! Looked cool with the burnt edges, but I won't do that again!

yeah ... the lighter / heat source underneath is safer with sx-70
Ted took this picture of himself to accompany the press for his last workshop with Bob Carnie at Elevator last spring... toiled over the set up, thought he'd got it just right, and then, as he was sending it out the door, noticed the lens cap!
...and laughed and laughed....
Thanks! It was about a 3 to 5 minute exposure...can't remember exactly. Resting my chin on my hands kept my head still. My hands were <6 inches from the camera.
