Pleeeeezzzzz coment back, i need to know before school starts!? Where are you? I find it hard to believe that no library (I'm assuming you have access to more than one from what you wrote) has *anything* on basic photography. By the way, that's what you want: a book on basic (black & white) photography. Don't try to look up "developing" in the library's card catalog. -- In order to embark on a new course, the only one that will solve the problem: negotiations and peace with the Palestinians, the Lebanese, the Syrians. And: with Hamas and Hizbullah. Because it's only with enemies that one makes peace. - Uri Avnery, Israeli writer and peace activist with Gush Shalom. (http://counterpunch.org/avnery08032006.html) |

pinhole paper negatives... photo development ... not in a libraray in my town ... does anyone know of a website the paper i (sic) am using is called ILFORD MGIV MULTIGRADE IV RC DELUXE Might try Ilford: http://www.ilfordphoto.com/Webfiles/...1111431518.pdf You will need to do only some of the steps ... Pinhole site: http://users.rcn.com/stewoody/index.htm Your tax dollars at work: http://idea.uwosh.edu/nick/Pinholephoto.pdf For pinhole negatives you need: o A room you can make completely dark, one with running water is best o Photographic paper o Developer chemical o Fixer chemical o Dishes / trays - 2 or 3 large low baking dishes work fine o Red lamp - a red Christmas tree lamp placed so your workspace is as dim as you can tolerate and still work That's it. o Mix developer and fixer according to directions, pour each into a dish, if you have a 3rd dish fill it with water and place it between the developer and fixer dish o Make the room completely dark and turn on the red light o Put the paper in the developer solution for 2 minutes and rock the dish to keep the chemical swirling over the paper, if you have a dish of water then put the paper in the water dish for 30 seconds or so o Pick up the paper and move it to the fixer for 2 minutes, keeping the dish rocking o Rinse the paper under the tap and put into a large sink or tub filled with water, let it sit for 5 minutes, swirl it around now and then o Rinse the print again under the tap o Blot print dry with paper towel and place face up on a bath towel to air dry * * * Maybe it was my imagination, but I seem to remember lots of sites with tutorials on making pinhole negatives with normal household stuff. Either I am looking in the wrong places or they have disappeared. -- Nicholas O. Lindan, Cleveland, Ohio Darkroom Automation http://www.nolindan.com/da/fstop/ |

Maybe it is cheaper as a "real" red bulb for darkroom work, but the risk to get foggy pictures is too high :-( If you don't have the need to work in red light, you can buy a cheap film drum and a darkroom bag. Put the paper in the drum face inside without any film holder ( in the bag ) and now you can develop your picture with daylight, simply roll the drum on a table. You can use the same amount of chemicals as indicated for films.

If one is careful a very, very dimly lit room can be used with no safelight at all.... Life without risk is death. |
