Using a cameraphone to view negatives ...
I've been meaning to write this trick up as a mini tutorial, but for now this little example will have to do.
Occassionally I'll be looking at a negative and want to get a quick feel for what it looks like. In the case of the image here, it was brought in by a visitor to the Who Do You Think You Are? Live show where I was working dating old photographs.
The trick is simple: on your cameraphone (or on most 'point and shoot' digital cameras) put the camera in 'negative' mode. This is often found in the 'options' or 'effects' menu. You'll see that the hand and all background objects (including the white sheet of paper it is being viewed against) now look odd, but the image itself is good enough for viewing.

Thanks to Brenda Swenson for her negative painting demo on these pomegranites, please see her blog at : brendaswenson.blogspot.com/2012/03/negative-painting-with.... This whole year has been very busy with other projects and no painting til two weeks ago. The best way to get back to wet brushes for me is negative painting so, being a great lover of the plump bounteousness of pomegranites I set to with Brenda's guide. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL ON FLICKR.

Inspired by the lovely *GREEN OLIVE MAMA*. Its nowhere near as awesome as her implied nudes... but I had fun. I tried to get that crazy angle and of course, I had to play with processing, as she often does. I know many of you will prefer the original edit for its photographic quality, but I love this painterly look. In fact, I might actually paint this if 365 EVER ends...
P.S. Not sure about that pointy finger... I love it in the negative, hate it in the positive... i think...
Lubitel 2.
Ilford XP2 Super 400 (120) B&W film, cross processed in E6 chemistry (normally C-41 process).
Rated at 400 ISO then pushed by 1 stop in processing.
Not sure what the red colouring in some frames is caused by - light leak maybe?...not sure. The blue cast is from the anti-halation layer, i think? (The water from after the pre-development soak was blue-green).
Processed at home with Tetenal E6 kit.
Remember the image in all those "brain teaser" books that showed an image that could either be a vase or two faces, depending upon whether you looked at the positive (white) shape or the negative (black) shape. Well, this is sort of like that I guess.

6x7 Paper Negative
I cut some Ilfobrom 1.1P (Single Weight) into strips and taped int into a used roll of 120 film. This is a bit more fun than single snips of paper loaded in the darkroom as I got 3 images per 8x10 section (I had 2 sections taped together). The paper is really light weight and jammed a bit in the developing reel - also I didn't tape the paper very straight in the 120 roll.
Reclaimed negative from Fuji FP100-C instant film sheet.
Had just binned most of the peel off parts to the instant film sheets, thinking they were useless, but had kept a bunch for some reason, then found various youtube vids explaining the process of reclaiming the negative using bleach. (I would point out that you should ensure you are doing this process in a well ventilated area, as the fumes were nasty, and wear gloves when using the bleach....have seen vids with people just using their bare hands!).
These didn't work out perfectly, but I'd have been disappointed if they had - I like the random blobs/colours etc!
