First test strip was too dark.

Second test strip was too light.

Third test strip pretty much nailed it.

First print showed I needed a bit of dodging.

Second print........... um........... well............... can I claim the Fifth Amendment? *

Third print is what you see.
































* OK, rookie mistake, I'll admit. I forgot to stop the lens down. After 2 seconds, I realized the paper was shot.

Way to go Sparky. Let's see lots more.

Not tonight. It took a lot of energy just to get this far. Drag it all into the bathroom, mix the stinky stuff up, lay it out, psych myself up.......

It's all still set up. Maybe tomorrow.

I won't be able to do much with the 6x7 stuff until I get another lens..... something in the 90-135mm range.

Should have merged them..............What's that you say? Can't do it with film?[/COLOR];)



Well, technically it's feasible.

With the right equipment, you could cut the paper away from the emulsion on one of the prints, and overlay the resulting 'transparency' onto the other.


Naaah. Too much work. I'd rather go shoot something.
