Records de Sta. Margarida / Memories of Sta. Margarida
IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE
Calotip mètode Pélegry modificat (mel en comptes de xerigot), en format 4x5.; paper Canson Marker; revelat amb acid gal·lic i acetonitrat de plata. Uns 10 minuts d'exposició a f8 (EV 11.5).
Càmera Graflex Crown Graphic, fabricada cap al 1949; objectiu Kodak Anastigmat f4.5.
Imatge positivada digitalment a partir del negatiu original en paper.
Aquest és el primer calotip de prova de la 3ª partida que preparo. Aquesta vegada incorporant ja (i d'aquí en endavant) lactosa a la iodització i dextrina amb el taní en el sensitivitzat. Ara sí que em surten nets i sense taques.
Vista de la capella de Santa Margarida de Vilaltella, a Perafita. Tinc un lloc especial per a aquesta capella, ja que vaig ajudar a la seva restauració el 1988 quan encara era un adolescent. Bé, de fet varem treure tota la terra i pedres de la volta esfondrada. Posteriorment varen restaurar el sostre. L'edifici en questió es coneix des del 1223, i té origen romanic; però el 1825 fou ja restaurada i ampliada (porta nova, sagristia i en doblaren l'alçada). Sembla que durant la guerra civil fou ensorrada pels anarquistes.

==========================
Calotype (modified Pélegry); Canson Marker paper, cut to 4x5"". Developed with gallic acid and acetonitrate of silver. About 10 minutes exposure at f8 (ev 11,5).
Graflex Crown Graphic camera, made c.1949; Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 lens; 4x5 calotype.
Positive image made in PHotoshop from the original paper negative.
This already the 3rd batch of calotypes, following the Pélegry method much closer, just changing the whey for honey. Now I incorporate lactose to the iodizer and dextrin to the sensitizer, and wash the papers in the sensitization for more minutes.
Clearly the cleanliness has improved, with much less fogging and spots.
View of the chapel of Santa Margarida de Vilaltella, in Perafita. I have a special place for this chapel as I helped restore it in 1988 when I was still a teenager. Well, we actually removed all the earth and stones from the collapsed vault. Later they restored the roof. The building in question has been known since 1223, and has Romanesque origins; but in 1825 it was already restored and enlarged (new door, sacristy and doubled in height). It seems that during the civil war it was demolished by the anarchists.
