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.
This image is a 2000X1250 pixel scan from a slide, print or negative. The vast majority of the shots were scanned during the 2007-2014 period. Some images may be re-uploaded from the earliest versions which were done in a smaller size and are noted accordingly.
The images here from my own collection. They are a combination of my own photographs, as well as those acquired over 40+ years through trading, purchasing, and attending various slide events around the world.
This photostream was initially created in 2017 for archival purposes, and in the years since (to 2023) has had over 11 million image views.

REMARKS
Porta dels Ferros (the Iron gate ) is the Baroque part of the Cathedral of Valencia — 1713-1728.
Puerta de los Hierros, or dels Ferros in Valenciano dialect (the Iron gate), is the Baroque part of the Cathedral of Valencia. It was built in 1713-1728 and replaced the previous one of the XV century.
During the Baroque period, a German architect Konrad Rudolf designed in 1703 the main door of the cathedral, known as the Iron gate due to the cast-iron fence that surrounds it. Because of the War of the Spanish Succession he could not finish it, and this task fell mainly to the sculptors Francisco Vergara and Ignacio Vergara. Its concave shape, which causes a unique and studied perspective effect, was distorted during the 20th century because of the demolition of some adjacent buildings to expand the square (Plaza de la Reina).

Digitised image from the Town Hall Photographer's Collection - GB127.M850
The Town Hall Photographer’s Collection is a large photographic collection held in Manchester City Council’s Central Library archives, ranging in date from 1956 to 2007.
The collection consists of tens of thousands of images, covering the varied areas of work of Manchester Corporation and latterly, Manchester City Council.
The photographs were taken by staff photographers, who were tasked to document the work of Corporation/Council departments and, in doing so, captured many aspects of Manchester life and history, including significant changes to the Manchester landscape.
The collection includes many different formats from glass negatives, to slides, prints, CDs and even a couple of cine films.
What is especially exciting is that the majority of these images have never before been available in a digital format and therefore have only ever been seen by a handful of people.
A team of dedicated Staff and Volunteers are currently working on the systematic digitisation of the negatives held within the collection.
This album represents the result of their work to date.
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...
The original glass plate negative is a little ill, to say the least, but couldn't resist this one for the obvious glamour of the wedding party. All that we originally knew about this photo was that it was probably the wedding of Miss Watts of Bonmahon, Co. Waterford. This may be the Watts family who had copper mining concerns at Bonmahon (Bunmahon).
Confirmation about the wedding has come in from DannyM8, along with a very dramatic and quite tragic local story. See the comments below for detail. But now we know that Miss Watts was Emily Blanche Watts (1878-1960?), known as Blanche, who married Thomas Francis Buckley. I've added notes on the photos on the couple who were presumably the bride and groom, and on maybe Blanche's mother and brother, based on 1901 census information provided by DannyM8.
Niall McAuley has played a blinder by finding Glebe House, where this photo was taken, and a gorgeous link to more information on Bonmahon and the Watts.

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.

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.
