Oatmeal box pinhole camera
Ilford Multigrade IV RC Pearl paper

Didn't expect such wide angle of view. The tractor was about three feet from the camera.

My scanner is not doing the negative justice. I see more detail on the paper negative. Scanned and inverted in Photoshop.

Thanks for your help Brian ( bvy)!

I've got to get started on paper negatives - truly, I have no excuse. You did a great job here with it.

That's pretty cool. It's reversed though. ;^)

You did it! Glad I could help. One of the big challenges with this kind of photography is capturing good shadow detail. But everything here looks perfectly exposed. And yes, it is a super wide, super warped view that you get. In this case, the tractor comes across looking like some piece of space junk. Very cool.

Ha! Thanks Lydia! Actually, you can see this image quickly as well, just depends on the location of the developer! ;)

Deb, I set up the chemicals in our bathroom, covered up the doors, and swapped a safelight for one of the normal bulbs. 5 minute conversion, and you can give your kid a bath at the same time! :) I based my exposure on this information.

Fascinating procedures, Ben.

Did you know we've moved on to digital now? No film at all, and one can see his images almost right away. No darkroom needed at all!

VERY cool. How do you calculate exposure with that thing? And how did you develop the paper??
