Thanks Andrew. I agree, Fomapan is better than its price point would have you believe, especially the 100. If only the reciprocity was so extreme.

Rediscovered my #MPP Micro Technical after many years. After some recommissioning, I have been using it for some #abstract #urban #landscape studies. Here’s a couple of examples. #largeformatphotography #filmisnotdead #fomapan #4x5 #filmphotography #blackandwhite #believeinfilm

V Exciting. I used this exact model Rolleicord at university (many years ago). I shot my 3rd yr final project with it. Wish I still had it, superb lens.

The UK government was just defeated in the House of Lords for a *fifth* time over AI training data transparency.

Please watch the electrifying end to Baroness Kidron's closing speech ahead of the vote. Creators have no greater champion.

Made #cyanotype prints from inkjet negatives today. The hot pressed #watercolor paper seems to benefit from two coats of emulsion.

Abstract cyanotype print

An experimental #abstract #cyanotype using a #4x5 neg from the #stilllife session I posted a little while back, with shadows cast from the same objects featured. #largeformat #analogphoto #believeinfilm #alternativeprocess #

Superb.

I don’t have an exposure lamp, but it is on my radar, UK weather can be unpredictable/frustrating at times. Exposures for my wet cyanotypes are a matter of hours though, even in direct sun.

Thanks Randy. Wet cyanotyping is coating and exposing immediately, whilst the emulsion is still wet. Wet on wet introduces other solutions/materials to interact with the emulsion. In these examples I sprayed dilute vinegar and added baking soda, turmeric and soap suds. Exposure times are longer.

Nice shot. Reminds me of being there way back in 1989. Might dig those photos out and add a post #fromthearchives myself…
