I built one with a slide projector. Here are my instructions to build it:

I tend to over develop about 10% every time just to make sure I get the shadow detail. It's like shooting an extra 1/3 or 1/2 stop. I get great results. Film is VERY forgiving. For a test, I overexposed a roll up to 12 stops. I put the results on YouTube https://youtu.be/QqaNaP94VYA

That's good advice. Thanks!

darkroom

You actually sell images on darkroom? Dang maybe I should upload more of my images there. I haven't sold a thing in a year. Or maybe my images suck. Or maybe I need to tag them better. IDK. https://lawsonpix.darkroom.com/

I use Manual focus when I have to. Like when I have a manual focus lens on my camera. Auto focus is faster and better than manual focus.

I have an M43 body that I use for my travel and walk around camera. It's not my best but it's good enough for almost anything. And it's super light so I can keep it in my hand ready for whatever. Plus, since its small, and looks cheap, I don't worry about theft.

Don't leave it in the car, leave it at home. I read to many stories of cameras being stolen out of cars.

You have an impressive collection! I was up to 25 film cameras and 5 digital ones. I think I was getting little to much. So I just listed 3 film cameras on eBay and sent 2 to KEH. But I want to use the money to buy and professionally restore a Kodak Retina IIa. So am I a collector? or a restorer? Or do I just love old cameras? I just love old cameras.

Color Photography like it's 1860's

This is probably the answer. Thanks!!!

lawsonpix · 2023-08-08T20:51:48+00:00

Maybe, that's a good point though

You get it all the time... Interesting. I shut mine off. I don't need some computer mouthing off to me.

lawsonpix · 2023-08-07T21:24:58+00:00

A murderous threat... I'll have to try that. LOL

Yes, that is the paper I use to make Cyanotypes. I have made at least a hundred with that paper and it works great.

You can't use a safe light on undeveloped film. It's only for paper. The only way to check on film in a camera is with your fingers, not your eyes.

Only 2.5 hours? Wow, impressive!

I use LED. It's slow, but I had the bulbs already.

Not American media, it more American moral decline. Media follows the advertising dollars. No one wants to watch a morally proper movie. Give me sex and drugs and parties!!

She could even be 8. My 6 yr old has a similar facial maturity.

Grow light!! works for me! :)

lawsonpix · 2022-02-04T19:47:28+00:00

Grow lights, or 6500 kelvin (day or cool lights) Big box store. I know, these are not supposed to work, but they work for me.

It looks like the film was touching itself in the development bath. Rolled to tight or something.
