Use of X-ray film: technical discussion with example images

60w light? How long as the exposure and at what aperture?

EDIT: Never mind, I saw the name of the light above. It's actually 60 watts of LED which would be as bright as something incandescent with much, much more power.

I would say it is as bright as my 600w mole richardson, minus the heat and constant supply of globes needed. I was sceptical about using LED lighting, this one was cheap enough to experiment with, and so far it has been great. A bonus is the bowens mount

This thread has given me the courage to try my hand at 8x10. The weath if information is a little overwhelming(I’m barely part way through it), but hopefully Ill be able to contribute soon. I just love the look the film gives and I think it should make really nice platinum and cyanotype prints.

Looks like uneven development to me. Can you provide more details as to how it was processed?

Yes. I take a ditch at the bottom of which lies the glass, so as not to disrupt the emulsion. I'm showing signs of ditching. at the time of developer sheet begins to blacken at the edges in the center ostaptsi like mist not proyavlyaetsya to the end.
