Indian Rubber Tree on the Peak (8x10 enlarged from 4x5) Sepia 2
This is my first enlargement from 4x5 with a very rough and DIY. Well, I was suppose to go to my new basic dark room in Lantau but due to the wrong projection of weather stick in my North Point home. However, you cannot stop a man from his dark room. I found out that I just turn off the light in my bedroom, the room is a dark enough for print. (Not for film, as it is bright enough to read instruction and use bubble level to align camera!) Once found no fogging of the paper, I further put a slide light box plus a 4x5 frame (from 4870 which has been throw away 2 years ago due to fugus) to build an "enlarger" based on my 4x5 view camera. It works ok, but alignment is hard. Also, I reverse the film accidentally for this very first enlargement or negative printing. Still, it was significant as it was my first 4x5 film enlargement and my first successful enlargement in my life. (Been to dark room in secondary school, but not sure I remember I actually make any print then.) Use flatbed scanner and found it too large to handle even under 1200 bpi! I adjust a bit the contrast and use the sepia under Mac Preview software. Then use screen dump (Grab in Mac) to get the picture to put here!
