Having fun scanning old 35mm negatives from a trip I took in 1991 in New York.
Je m’amuse à numériser de vieux négatifs 35 mm d’un voyage que j’ai fait en 1991 à New York.
Scanned on a Plustek 8300i.
Calotype negative, 8x10. Shot on the Wehman Field Camera with elements from old broken Kodak lens from a folding camera.
6 minute exposure in full sun, on a dried calotype negative, developed in gallic acid and aceto-nitrate of silver.
Thought I'd mess with the photo and have a little fun, I really like seeing negatives of photos..kinda like an X ray but not ; )
I know I likely have better things to do than take photos of what's on my tv screen. However, there was a program on about a photographer who found these old negatives and decided to process them himself. This is one that he's processing in his darkroom which intrigued me.
A black and white film negative , in front of a black background with light from the side , gives a positive image .
For "Looking close... on Friday!" - theme : "Black Background".
Complementary colors reversing the palette of a night sky, with an indigo star on a yellow void. It looks like it could have been what Vincent van Gogh would see after staring at the night sky and looking away, but it's actually the left haunch of an El Torito Restaurant coyote figurine.
This setup is the reason that I first decided to buy a mirrorless camera. When I learned that I could buy adapters to mount my old Canon FD lenses to a modern digital camera I was sold. One of the first things I did with that camera ( Sony A7 ) was mount it to this bellows set and digitize some old slides. More often now I am digging up old black and white negatives in order to make copies. The trick to using this setup is to use the focus magnifier to focus on the film grain as opposed to any feature of the image.
A grey seat and table ,on our stone patio, in colour negative form.
Just messing with the phone on a hot day, you never know when an image will present itself.
Looks as if I might have to wait a bit longer on these imperfect results, but ... maybe I should take these as a lesson for the future , hmmm. Not sure.
You might see some more in this vein or it might become a blind avenue.

Shot with Rolleiflex 3.5T medium format TLR on Ilford Delta 100 film. Developed in Sprint chemistry. Negative scanned on Epson V600 scanner. Post-processing in Photoshop.
The pattern was empty, but the tower was in the wrong place.....

I purchased these glass negatives from an estate of an old photo studio in Millville, PA. There were a couple hundred negatives, and I went through almost all of them. I picked out all of the negatives with the cat, as well as, the one of the famers bailing hay.
In the attic I came across negatives from the latter half of the 1960s when I was a teenager. On the lightbox I was both appalled by their physical quality and intrigued as to what they contained; therefore, I decided to have a closer look. I propose to post an edited selection over the coming days.

Watercolour on 140 lb. Arches Watercolour Block. I have finally finished this watercolour, and have decided to stop before I get too bogged down in detail, and lose the spontaneity. Most of this was done using the negative painting method.
Thanks for all your kind comments on the former post of this work in progress. It gave me the incentive to finish faster than I probably would have.
