What a nice video.
The print is lush and interesting also.

(I also like your easel with that rotating knob for precise movements)

My first two direct positive prints, shot using a Diana F+ on Harmon Direct Positive paper and developed for 1min each in Diafine A and B then fixed. (Waiting on proper paper developer to arrive.)

I was pleased with the results considering I had never done it before since I was a teen and had a small darkroom and enlarger.

This one I had to stand totally still for 3 minutes and it was not easy. And I still underexposed it.

Love the above shot, Al.
For 3-min's portraits I recommend sitting down and that contraption that they use in the 19th century to keep the head still. 🙂

Its been 5-6 weeks away from the Darkroom, and the only solution was to print 22 sheets over the 9hr spent in the Cave.
Its ironic that I actually scanned these prints to showcase them here. The irony of printing!

Ilford Pearl RC 8x10, via Delta 100 35mm

Ilford RC Pearl 8x10, Ilford PanF50. This is a splendid film. I absolutely love the contrast it provides.

Thank you 🙂
I guess the film plays a role in creating that 'effect'. Or maybe its the quality of the light in the shot. Share your stuff here too!

I haven't posted a photo here until now, my V750 scanner is down, and I've been busy getting my own darkroom up and running. The darkroom is complete and this is a recent print that I took a photo of with my iPhone.

As soon as I figure out dilution and times, I intend to selenium tone it.

Thanks. Actually the fourth one is on ADOX MCC; it took ages to develop.

One from my very first prints. Printed for first time yesterday. I realised I'm missing MG filters. 🙂

Ilford Deluxe MG RC.

 

[benji77]

Ilford Art paper, 300gsm 12 X 16.
Snapped from the iPhone for convenience 🙂
This is my first try with the paper, and I must say its really tough to work with coming from RC paper. But the feel of this paper is...awesome.

Its thick, and really feels robust in your hands, till you wet it!

Timings are extended, about 90sec for most portions, and required up to 360sec in total, depending on how many 'sectors' I got.

A little on the warm tone, but really nice with portraits.

THe 3 of them look very very nice! I bought the same paper myself but haven't tried it yet
