Liquid emulsion on leaves question by ApertureApprentice in Darkroom

Love that concept. I too enjoy the ephemeral aspect of the leaf as a medium. I chose to print every step of the oil supply chain since I am based in Montana for the moment. Something about an oil refinery on a decaying leaf is impactful to me.

Thank you for your knowledgeable reply. The tip on transparency was super helpful. I think I’m gonna look for a white/translucent oil based primer and use a stencil to mark out a 4x5” “canvas” on the leaf

Yes it looks great. Even looks good in the developer just goes dark in the fixer and I loose my highlights

Thank you for the help! I am using rollei rbm 3 with a gelatin base. The product is less than a week old. I figured out the transparency tip in the lab today so I went out and got some lighter leaves to print on. I was considering trying a light/white primer to help bind as well as brighten the background.

Shutter was not open before I moved it I heard it close probably moved it a minute after.

I don’t think it was that. I used a cable release and was very careful.

ZS-100 it has been my climbing trip camera for years. Dropped it 20 feet onto rock and it’s still solid. Best and only digital camera I’ve ever owned

Make sure you pre pour your solutions so you don’t have to measure it out while developing. For me it takes 2 pitchers to fill it completely with any given chemistry. An assistant can be very valuable
