Hi: What got me thinking this way was how the landscape was so big and appeared to be filled with nothing but open space.
I was trying to think of a way of making a print where much of it was nothing but blank paper. I wanted a stripe of something at the top and bottom and a few things in the middle and nothing else, but blank paper. I would skip the "first step" so that I would only print selected parts of the image. When I began thinking about using the computer to select parts of the image to print, I realized it would be possible to print these selected parts in different colors. (Looooong trip plenty of time to think :) ) I would end up with a print that looked a little bit like the landscape my kids used to draw; a stripe of blue across the top for the sky a stripe across the bottom for the ground and the subject stuck in-between. Of course I see this getting complicated - Want to do it with a wide aspect - the 6x18 camera we're planning on building. Images made with such a camera won't fit in a regular scanner. Would have to take it to a service bureau and use a drum scanner, or make a contact print cut it into pieces to fit in the scanner and stitch it back together on the computer. Might be easier to try and do it all in the darkroom. Guess I should try it on small pictures first. Anyone had success using pictorio's ohp transparency film with inkjet printers? http://www.pictorico.com/lproduct.asp?id=4 Gord On Thu, 28 Jun 2001, Katharine Thayer wrote: > I left out the first step, where you lay down the image with a first > exposure in monochrome, black or brown or whatever would harmonize with > your colors, and then for the second exposure you put the different > colors on where you want them. > kt > > Katharine Thayer wrote: > > > > Now you're TALKIN', Gordon.
