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.

Taken from a scanned negative
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!
This particular image turned out differently to the others as, after rinsing, I tried drying the negative with a hair dryer - I put it too close to the negative, and I think the heat caused this pattern. Looks a bit like an image from a space telescope!

HMM Everyone!
My spin on negative space.....looking forward to seeing everyone else's ideas!
Have a great week.
Continuing with my old photo finds, here are two negative film strips that only had two connected, instead of a long line of shots. I was lucky enough to find one of the prints made from one set too. I like that one negative shows a man in uniform. I’m most fascinated with the way woman are dressed in vintage images.

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.
Shot with fatif view camera, 8X10
Rodenstock Sironar 1:6,8/360mm (6 836 747). Ott: Compur 3.
EV9 grey card with common light meter in artificial light 5600°Kelvin (plus three flash lamps).
f8; 30 minutes.
Paper: Canson Marker
Iodizing and Sensitization: Pelegry (No whey, just water and lactose), dextrin and tannin as preservatives
Developed Gallic acid for 20 minutes, followed by adding Silver nitrate in the bath and further developing by inspection (18 minutes for this negative)
Washed in H2O, than tap running water.
Fixed in Thyosulfate 15% 5 minutes and washed again.
It is my first calotype.
The scan of the negative has been made trying to reproduce how it looks like at visual inspection in reflected light.
I've tried to reverse the image and figure a result.
The scene digital shot is provided too.
Better than nothing, for a first try. In the following days I'll try to wax the paper and print it in some way (salted paper? Albumin?)
ODC2 Negative space
I purchased a frame today to frame anything that I like during my photo shoots. I don't like to frame my pictures but I love pictures of frame.
Anyways. Here is the first of a series of many ( 3 more in my stream!!). This is not my favorite but it reflects very well the spirit of negative space.
I reflected a lot on negative space today. We all need it. Negative space is the chosen space for creativity. I have been feeling tired and sick lately and I think it's because I don't have enough negative space in my life. Space to create, space to dream. Every corner of the house, every corner of my head are full of junk. So i started by cleaning up the office space that looks more like a crowded closet. And empty my crowded brain in the process. That's when I had this idea for the challenge. A frame of grass. Grass that goes beyond the frame.....The freedom that negative space can give you is widely underrated. I stop there....I think you get it. See in black, it's full of green grass.
Transmissive scan from a waxed paper negative.
Calotype details:
Variant: Dry, waxed paper negative
Instructions: M. Alphonse Davanne
Exposure: 4 1/2 minutes
Aperture: f/8
Lens: 12" petzval
Weather: Sunny/hazy
Direct sun: ~20% of exposure
Temp: 23 degrees C
Time: 13:30
Date: 25/07/11
EV: 12 (zone v) shadows (chair ~ EV 13.5)
Paper: Canson Marker 70gsm
Wax: Pre-waxed
Iodiser: Alphonse Davanne for 2 hours
Sensitizer: (7pm on 24/07/11) Ag 7%, Acetic 9% - for 12min
Washing: Two baths @ 12 minutes each.
Development: 1hour 45min (17:00 - 18:45 on 25/07/11)
Developer: 300ml 0.4% gallic acid soln. + 10 drops of Spirit of Camphor + 18 drops of fresh aceto-nitrate. After 50 minutes, 30 drops of aceto-nitrate added.
Observations: Noticeable grain in the shadow areas; even after ironing.
Large black spots of reduced silver; cause? The blotting paper, used to store the paper, was also covered in dark spots.
muddy red 'cast' to entire image, when viewed by reflection. When viewed by transmission, negative appears bright and clean.
Such an interesting challenge and I have only experimented with one aspect of the word negative. I had a bit of time playing in Lightroom watching my images transform while using the point curve, you literally invert it and go from there to get the result you are after. I have not had an opportunity to see what results could come out of this so it was quite enlightening as I am always up for a new concept.
Pretty freaky - negative fish and flowers in a dreamy exhibit.

I discovered this Amish cemetery using google maps. No street view was available for this country side road. But I was able to peer down using the satellite view. The grainy photo revealed neat and orderly rows of graves in a tiny patch surrounded by farm fields. Perfect place to explore I thought and off I went. As is the custom with Amish cemeteries, there is no access drive, no parking, no place to pull in. The entire plot was fenced in; visitors not welcome. Especially visitors with cameras. I simply pulled to the side of the dusty gravel road and got out. I had the usual disconnect between what I could see on the satellite image and what I was seeing with my own eyes. The place reeked with sadness. The row of graves nearest the road were all infants and stillborns. The satellite image had not prepared me for that. The plot looked quite flat in the satellite image, but in reality it was built on a slope and the graves and fence seemed to undulate as they followed the contours. I noticed that nearly every stone was the same. they weren't even stone really, but concrete castings. The uniformity gave the place an Arlington feel, a sense of solemnity. I felt like an intruder even just standing outside the fence line. I debated about taking photos. Even though it was a Sunday and there was no one around, I felt very conspicuous. In the end I went back to the car, grabbed the camera, and shot a series of frames from waist level pointing the camera in between the fence rails.

I have rescanned this negative at the higher resolution of 6000dpi, re-edited it, and uploaded the newer version on November 11th 2015.
Negative space (or white space as it is sometimes called) has been used in art, architecture, design, sculpture, and photography. Negative space (and it does not have to be black as the word 'negative' connotes) is the area that surrounds the main subject (which is often called the 'positive space'). The subject does not have to appear in the center of the composition; rather it can be offset to draw the eye toward it. The space created around it is the 'negative' space, and it has nothing attracting the eye away from the main subject.
A single color, or gradual shades of that color (monochromes), or bokeh that is muted can all serve as the background to the main subject.
Negative space can provide a natural background and give 'breathing room' to the main subject. It may take some practice to achieve this as this is subjective in nature.

14 ♥ February 2015
Amongst the neglected negatives I was scanning yesterday I also found these lovelies.
Taken in the early 1990's, still in our previous flat but about to move (across the landing) to the present one.
Some show clear evidence of camera malfunction but none the worse for that.
On the last Kitty is with my parents in Covent Garden.
