Paper negatives

[Ray Heath]

Excellent images Joe.

I also build my own cameras and would be interested in seeing images of your's.

Thanks Joe. Great results from such a simple setup. I'll have to do some experimenting myself.

I wanted to practice using the movements of my Tachihara 4x5 and focusing, so I got a bright light and got this image of the dresser in my room.

5x7 crop from original. Don't have access to a scanner so I used my dslr to "scan".

The grunge is from the scanner. The lighter area down the side really had me baffled. Finally I realized that the paper was larger than the contact print frame I laid it on to pre flash it. The light reflecting back on the paper from the white base increase the exposure, The small strip overhanging the base received less pre flash.

neat to see the effects of the pre flash with those strips. The images have nice and cold tones. I like the 1st one.

My first large format picture ever:

okay, composition and focus could be better …
But I am quite happy I managed to handle the camera and the whole process fine. (Okay to be honest it was not really the first because I exposed six sheets, bracketing from EI 1.6 ASA up to 50 ASA and I started with 50 …)

EI: 1.6 ASA

Paper: Ilford Multigrade IV RC de Luxe Paper with satin finish (structure will have effect on the scan quality – might be better with wet mounting)

Camera: Graflex Crown Graphic with Schneider Kreuznach Symmar 210 1:5,6

Aperture: 5,6

The Paper was developed in Caffenol-P:

1 liter Water

23 g Sodium Carbonate (anhydrous)
30 g Instant Coffe
20 g Ascorbic Acid (Vitamine C)

5 Minutes at 20°C.

And here is another one:



Paper: Ilford Ilfospeed gradation 0, glossy

EI: 1,6 (needs more light)

Aperture: 11 (gives slightly more DOF …)

I really have to get a feeling for this reduced depth of field. Might this be even smaller on paper negatives since the silver layer is thinner than on film negatives?

EdG, do you remember the developer and the ISO you exposed at?

I also have a box of AGFA Brovira Speed 0 waiting to get unsealed. I am curios about the results …

Here is a new one. Needs some cleaning from the dust on my scanners glas (Epson 3200):
