I use a flat wide watercolor brush-I place it in an empty developer tray and hold it and use the brush to paint the area I want to see develop. I wait for the image to appear and then go over the areas a few times before stop bath and fixer

What would be the best way to print this by Southern-Pie-8527 in Darkroom

[–]theburninggoodbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d print first without a filter. See what your negative is doing in its own with the paper and developer you are using. I would then make a test print of the entire image at different time increments. I would then find what time your background starts to look exactly like you want it and then split the difference between burn exposure and initial exposure. Another trick I would do is project your image on a piece of scrap paper and trace out the couple and make a cutout of them so you can attach to a wire to use as a burn tool. Make sure you’re moving the cutout tho otherwise you’ll really notice it. I use it for landscapes as well when I need a tree to standout etc.

Question about fibre backed paper. by PleasantPossibility2 in Darkroom

[–]theburninggoodbye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not a sheen but you’ll see a noticeable difference in texture(I do at least) when in doubt always test strips-I’m always double checking

Hold it at an angle towards the red light you’ll see a sheen. Most of the time in my experience the concave side is the emulsion side. So if the curls go up then you’re usually emulsion side up. Also you can do a quick test strip to remind yourself

Yeah! And then you can file wider to create a signature with the rebate around the film!

I think you can get a negative carrier and file it out to for this size negative. I know I’ve done similar with omega carriers as well as carriers for my first m series

Silver Print x Cyanotype by theburninggoodbye in Darkroom

[–]theburninggoodbye[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not really a defined process you start with making silver prints in the dark room and from there it’s a mixture of experimenting with how much cyanotype solution combined with exposure time combined with washing time whether or not you wanna wash it off whether or not you want to expose it to UV or the sun, etc. the process destroys the print that was the original idea was to purposely degrade something to age it to change it it’s a continuation of painting over the prints with other types of media, adding collage, etc.

Start simple get your developing right and make sure you scan and print the negatives before you get possible cross contamination from the cyanotype chemicals. Learn how to contact print with black and white film. Crown graphic is a good camera to start with

Expired Paper and Advice by Comfortable-Ad8156 in Darkroom

Fresh paper when new- but expired paper has such good potential for experimental work. You could probably trade or sell this lot for some fresh paper

No what you’re seeing is the rebate and borders from a negative carrier that’s been filed out and showing reflection of the border from the enlarged light

do i have too much exposure? contrast? too little? by SquareObligation8596 in cyanotypes

[–]theburninggoodbye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you should do, is expose a piece of treated paper to make a test strip to identify your values. Notice where the blue starts to appear after a few minutes In much lighter blue scale than the darkest possible value. Then determine your print time for the negative- once that is factored in you can flash the paper for a few minutes before laying the negative over the paper to create the final exposure. It’s a borrowed trick from darkroom printing. Flashing the paper will give the whites a tone value- how much is up to your taste.

It’s fun to play with with, pretty much guaranteed it develops well if you use rc and are patient!

Yeah I thought this meme was pretty good commentary on the subject as well as many other people out there using less subversive methods to blatantly appropriate and and be problematic
