Finally got to meet my granddaughter Charlotte, almost 1 1/2 years old - first of many to be taken with 8X10.

Not sure this is going to work from my phone. I took an iPhone photo of an 8x10 cyanotype on csxonline green film, 1 sec f8, 18" Cooke triplet/besseler opaque projector lens (front mounted Waterhouse stops), pyrocat hd 1:1:100. New cyanotype sunlight 2 minutes, 1/2% HCl development followed by water wash. The photo is of a retired GI radiologist!

Forgot to say it is a home built telescoping box camera.

Testing another workflow from my scanner.. I'm amazed with this picture. Only curves and brightness contrast here. No HDR software whatsoever!

I'm loving this film!

Trying to understand filtering with X-Ray film, it's Ortho so it doesn't absorb red, what does the yellow filter do? I know this is probably "basic" I've just never quite grasped it... Thanks

To minimise the contrast? That's what i've been told. So far it does help or maybe i'm just hallucinating?

Look at these images..

With Yellow filter..

I think the Yellow filter slightly affects the X-Ray film? Look at the trees.. There is a noticeble difference with the two photos. What do you think? Maybe some people can confirm this? Those pictures was taken from the same place and almost the same time..
