te. lastly fuji's new(ish) peel apart film has WAY better color,
even at very long exposure times... that said, if you can reduce your
exposure times to less than a second, the shift is much less noticable
even with 669.

if the two exposure times are different that could also cause the
vignetting to happen... vignetting decreases as exposure time increases.
um, and visa versa...

the paper negs are a little shy of 8 x 10. so far i've just contact
printed onto 8 x 10. i would love to find an 8 x 10 enlarger to blow
them up
dark slide kinda thing. right now i'm just using gaffer's
tape.
/aaron
thanks for pointing me in the right direction, found just what i needed.
will post results if i can figure out the new upload situation...
/aaron
i'm curious if anyone on the list has any experience processing b&w
paper negs to positives (reversal processing). i've done film this way,
and wonder if i can use the same steps (and same bleach) for paper. any
advice would be appreciated...

haven't used it, but i've heard that it uses dye, like color films, and
so a grain won't show even with substantial enlarging. i've been wanting

there's a place here in san francisco called the "new lab" that will
process and scan (to cd) slide film for a very good price, i think it's
$30/roll of 36exp. and the quality of the scans is actually quite good.
i think that you'd probably be able to find a similar place closer. it's
much cheaper
SENEGAL!

en wanting to use the stuff on 16mm film stock for projection,

that... any ideas?

super 8 film of hula hooping. this was shot at the Headlands Center just

the first pinhole camera i modified for use was a polaroid similar to
that. i sawed off the front really close to the film. the images looked
great. unfortunately it was a "zip(?)" camera, and now the film is quite
difficult to find. look forward to seeing images...

lm in them too, but i haven't worked that way, as the

very long
lengths of film)...
the first roll i shot was indeed color, and indicated to me that this
project was worthwhile and entirely possible, but i have been using b&w
in order to get faster results (home processing is very quick) to test
the camera. the first roll was, however, way too blurry
i've had, by far, the most fun doing the mini-pin shots.
http://www.???/discussion/upload/gallery2002.php?pic=minipin_camera.jpg
the cameras are tiny (made out of film cannisters) and easily portable,
the exposure times short, and the pictures look good and are easy to
process (paper negs)...
time,
and my processing is far less than stellar, but it seems to be working,
at least in a cryptic sort of way...
/aaron
why not experiment with one of the cheaper toy digital cameras? there are
several available, including a barbie camera. then if it seems worth pursuing,
move on to bigger and better options. there was some discussion earlier of
adapting a flatbet scanner for this use...
>I know there has been
what i was talking about...
does anyone know what this stuff is called? where i can find out?
/aaron
bracket your shots, and shoot more film to compensate. seems better than trying
to retrace steps and find the right lab.
if they're REAL old or badly
kept they start to look sepia toned... not sure what happens with black and
white film, but i have 200 ft. of safety film from the 60's. i'll shoot some
and let you know. i've heard that it's just grainy-er although i don't know why
it would be... /aaron
be possible i'm sure to organize that several of
these places (in different areas) hold shows during the same month, perhaps
even with digital links to the work show in the other locations...

been out for awhile. just uploaded some shots from a recent trip to joshua
tree, CA. these were made with a homemade 4x5 camera, and some outdated
ektachrome bought on the cheap ($25 for the box o' 50). i think i might have
loaded the film backwards tho. some turned out better than others, as is
pload/gallery2001.php?cmd=max&start=24&pic=jason.jpg
but for the most part what i've done has turned that sickly polaroid blue. you
could try using a blue filter of some sort, like what is used on the polaroid
flashes.
what is the "fuji material" you are referring to? is
and the
photography contained within. i highly reccomend it.
/aaron
thanks for the swap links... why are there two?
also wondering what people's experiences with ectachrome have been... have a
box i'm itching to use but haven't ever had that much luck with color.

i'm curious whata kind of oil you put on the paper negs? does it make a huge
difference in the positive?
also i was hoping that somebody could repost the web address of the list of
participants in the print swap, i seem to have lost it...
/aaron
any of the box brownies. they make amazing pinhole cameras, and are easy to
convert. plus you can usually find one for about $3 at a junk store. if it
takes 116, it is easy to spool the film onto an old reel (which are slightly
larger).
/aaron
Any recommendations for a cheap 120 camera that&#
shutter really
only has to stop the film long enough to record an image. it could even be just
your hand. this method however, produces multiple pictures. if what you are
going for is a panoramic type thing (one picture), you would probably be better
off with multiple pinholes...

hey the text for the krappy kameras thing turned out a mess on my computer, any

about type 55, is it true that you can use citric acid instead (of sodium
sulfite)? i've heard this is true, but never tried it... i've also never used
fix for the negatives, but then, i'm far from being a darkroom perfectionist...

i have several polaroid land cameras that i've converted to instant pinhole
cameras. the easiest way is quite literally to rip all that stuff on the front
end of the camera off. it leaves a nice, large hole that's easy to cover up (i
just use aluminum and electrician's tape), and also a focal le
trait (from the other day):

hi all.
wanted to send a message to say that the opening for photoautotroph in san
francisco went really well. the films we showed were all really amazing (and
lensless!) and the work in the gallery (@ ATA) looks really good. lots of
people showed up, and everyone seemed to think it was an excel
processing partial rolls of 120 shouldn't be a problem so long as you give the
lab what they expect, i.e. a roll of film. this requires you to spool the
exposed film back onto the core with the paper backing. this is really pretty
easy, but be sure to keep the head and tail of the film in the pr
what's missing from most digital photorgaphy is alchemy. what started as a
largely chemical process has, with the introduction of digital processes,
become laregly mechanical. that, in my mind marks a major difference.
