Caffenol Cookbook - web version

I think reading this book will incite more photographer to try Caffenol as a developer for their own work. What I like is the combination of examples and detailed instructions, very informative. Thanks a lot for the effort and work put into this, very well done.
 
Thank you Gabor

What I like about the collaboration (a gang from apug and flickr with some common ground) is that it illustrates that there are many roads leading to Rome. Some are rigorous, some more relaxed, and yet they all get the results they are looking for. Worried about metric conversion tables? Don't be, because there are recipies in Oz and fl. Oz too.

I know the publishing format may not be to everyone's taste, we considered a number of ebook type options, but these require considerably more funds. We'll see what happens down the road.
 
Eirik, very nice, the pages are a bit fiddly, but the presentation is great. Your France picture was my favorite of the entire book, and I have been to Lake Louise but that was 1952. I watch Jon C. on Flickr, he seems to have this process down, as do you. Someday, I may try some of the 'Cookbook' methods.

Thanks for posting this Eirik - it looks excellent, and now I have no excuse not to give it a try :) - I've always liked the results you've got with caffenol.
Congratulations to you and the others on a job well done.
Regards,

Can't see it on my iPad, it requires the evil flash. :)

Yes, sorry. I use Mac's and iPads myself. When we are 100% finished there will be a non-flash version as well. Bo Sibbern-Larsen, the mastermind, usher, editor and main contributor is also the IT geek. When he has got his steam up he will direct his attention to making a better mobile version. Ill let you all know when.

Thanks for your patience

Thanks John. Yes Jon C has the process nailed down. He gets tones with Acros you could die for. Even I don't quite get how he does it, and he adapted his recipe from mine. I think he pulls the film, rather than a mild push which is the norm. I tend to do box speed, or a 1/3-2/3 stop push. A matter of taste.
 
Very great. Thanks for the work and sharing. I am reading a lot on caffenol from a long time. It's now time to give a try !

About the type of publication. I know it's not evident and i don't know if some of the co-writers wants to make some money with the book but, from the reader side, i would really appreciate an off-line version to read it at night or when i take a break without the necessity to be connected.

Anyway, i don't know also with Blurb, but it's a type of book that i will be happy to pay some $ and to have a paper version in my shelves at home.
 
Thanks.

We've not considered selling the publication to be honest. We've been doing this for the fun of it.
 
So, i don't know if it will be possible, but, a pdf to read it off-line can be really appreciated.
 
WOW!!!!.... a brainstorm... I love those until they hurt??

I have been so lucky as to be part of this particular collaboration. Funny part is, none of the contributors have ever met face to face. The power of internet I suppose.

It's still a bit rough, and it will be subject to updates I suspect. But please have a look.

Your post gave me a great idea...

There is a coffee shop here in town called the Green Plow. Nice little location in downtown area.


they have a room they rent out.. good size with plumbing. One window easily darkened. What a great spot for a Caffenol darkroom, if I could get a group together to rent the space?

Hmmmm?

Fantastic! I'm giving it a try.

Why do I think that this (and perhaps other yet discovered methods) are the wave of the future?
 
Fascinating stuff. Inspired me to try it out. Went out yesterday and bought Folgers and Arm & Hammer washing soda easily and cheaply enough. The powdered Vitamin C required some searching but I finally found it at the Vitamin Shoppe in town.

Let the madness begin. Thanks for posting!
