Coca Cola - Sabttier Reversal

- Old Building - Ogden, Utah USA. Full deliberate Sabattier reversal. This is my 5th attempt at reversal and this is the first quasi success. Looks like it is about 150 years old. Extensive fogging.

 

Shot with 1932 pre-anniversary speed graphic 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 quarter plate rangefinder with a leitmeyr 18cm 180mm lens at f/4.8.

 

Reversal effect was to shoot at slightly higher ISO / faster exposure. Development shortened from 15 minutes to 10.5 minutes (70 percent) Metered at 1/8 second, Shot at 1/10 to lessen exposure. 2 Second flash at 6 minutes and finished development.

 

Developed in Kodak DK-20 high contrast developer:

 

Water 125F/52C 750ml

Metol 5g

Sodium Sulfite (anh) 100g

Balanced Alkali 2g

Potassium Thiocyanate 1g

Potassium Bromide 0.5g

Cold water to make 1000ml

 

Next try will be a shorter flash to reduce fogging.

 

Purpose? Fun and challenging.

 

I know it looks like I shot it with a piece of photo paper nailed to a board. But hey ya gotta start somewhere.
