August 2011 Portraits

I've always understood that placing your negative directly in contact with Kentmere POP paper (or any other POP paper) was unadvisable as the amount of silver nitrate in the POP emulsion could damage negatives. Not realy relevant now but there seem to be exceptions to every rule.

Yes, that's a good point. I never got around to trying the Kentmere POP myself, but I'd read that warning too.

Roger,
Not much heat. 100W light bulbs.

Pete,
Was all POP paper like this? If so, I now understand the emphasis he placed on the separation of emulsion and paper. I was introduced to sheet film by an elderly gentleman. It make sense that if he was brought up with that logic, to impress it upon me when he was showing me his "methods to madness". I was always under the impression it was heat from the light bulb he was worried about. Maybe a combination of the two?

At Olmsted Pt. in Yosemite Valley. Keeping myself busy here as Irene passes overhead.

I'm not sure if all POP came with the same warning as I've only ever used or seen Kentmere POP.

Looks great! Where is this? For some reason I think by Manitou Falls in Wisconsin?
