Another old paper negative I found while going through some of my prints.
Must have been shot in the early 1970’s. It is on single weight grade 2 paper and 6x6 format so was shot using the Kowa 6 I had at the time.
Scanned and then reversed and inverted in PS.

This is my first paper negative experiment. I started with Kentmere fibre based bromide grade 2 paper and cut it to fit the 2. 1/4 3 1/4 Graflex Grafmatic film holders. I used an 80A blue filter (the paper is orthochromatic and even yellow Wratten 8 severely limits exposure) The exposures were made in the Horseman VH-R with the 150mm lens. Not knowing the ISO rating for the film, I metered with the Sekonic L-758DR at ISO 3 and bracketed in 1/2 stop increments for the 6 shots in the holder. The negative made at 2.5 stops faster shutter speed was the best.
I fully developed the paper in Ethol LPD (2 min) and proccessed as if it were a print.
I scanned the linear negative image with the Epson V750 using Silverfast and inverted with Colorneg. A minor curves adjustment lead to the image shown here. There is some spotting in the sky and I am working on figuring out its origin. Focus is a bit soft, and I think this is a scanner issue as the paper negative is sharper.
I recently bought a job lot of glass negatives at auction and just spent a few hours photographing them on a lightbox with my dslr then 'developing' them in Photoshop.
This flickr account was set up to store the negatives I buy at ebay, antique shops, flea markets, etc. I scan or photograph the negatives, process them, and then post them here. I enjoy discovering and revealing these images that otherwise might be lost.
The loudest, most bitchy and negative, most lovely-dressed hipster I've had the fortune of sitting beside at Cafe Beano recently!

I am in the centre of the main shot, surrounded by friends, with hubby on the right. Circa 1986.
Oh, and for those unfamiliar with the concept - we used to put this stuff in cameras!
A "negative" look at the juvenile gator I posted earlier.
Basically, I used "Select-Color Range" in Photoshop and painted the selected areas – bit by bit – in black on a separate layer until I got this negative image. It's a bit darker than my normal art projects but I liked the process and outcome of this one.
