using the same leaf as I used recently for lumen prints, this time I used it as a photogram, then inverted.
photogram
(A photogram is a photographic image made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a light-sensitive material such as photographic paper and then exposing it to light.)
Sort of a photogram hybrid. I wanted to improve the sense of space with my photograms. I printed a photo of clouds onto the paper and then made a contact print of a photogram on top of it.
All things have a use, even photographic paper that was long ago expired and is fogged beyond use.
I have used many sheets of such paper to create photograms by placing objects on the paper and letting it sit in the sun for a few hours. The result is then scanned and manipulated with levels and curves in Photoshop. At times the results disappoint, but other times things work out well. In this particular image I moistened part of the paper before exposure.

I have been doing a little more work with expired paper photograms. For these images I use fogged photographic paper that has been given to me, place items on the paper (in this case, some leaves), and leave in the sun for a couple of hours. I then scan the paper and play around with Levels and Curves to get what I feel to be a pleasing representative color.
black & white photogram - part of a series i did a couple of years ago.
has become a signature piece for me... and great fun to make :)
remember the darkroom? and the smell of chemicals?

UV-Flashlight Lumen photogram, in some variations using Agfa Multigrade 10x15 cm pieces of paper
Exposure very short about 1 minute by tracing the object
The red color is because I wetted the paper and washed with handsoap exposed wet.
Reasoning is that there may be some developer in the paper present already when alkaline and wet it should darken the paper while exposing, and that is the case it is getting to a chocolate brown very quick ie needs very little exposure.

Der Maiglöckchenschnabel
braucht keine Gabel,
er braucht auch kein Messer,
er ist Allesfresser,
weil er alles verschlingt,
was ihm gelingt.
Mäuse und Lerchen
ein Ameisenbärchen,
Selbst Gebirge und Stein
verleibt er sich ein.
The lily-of-the-valley beak,
when it starts the breakfast seek,
never needs no knife no fork,
just to catch a peace of pork;
omnivorecab always eat.
Every plant and every meat
that comes ever in its way
moves into its mouth astray.
Mice and larks, anteaters, too,
even mountains and stones, that’s true.
Клюв ландышевой пташки
не просит ложки-чашки.
Не нужен ножик тоже,
он всё сжевать ведь может.
Он всё подряд глотает,
что в клювик залетает.
И мышек, и жучков,
и маленьких сверчков.
Съест птичку и букашку,
и даже черепашку.
Глотает он давно
и камни заодно.
И горы великаньи
сжует без колебаний.
Bei der russischen Übersetzung half ChatGPT. Das war für die Reime bedeutsam. Mein Russisch wird erst allmählich besser.
ChatGPT helped me with the translation into Russian. It played a crucial role in creating the rhymes. My Russian is only gradually improving.
В переводе на русский язык мне помог ChatGPT. Это сыграло решающую роль в создании рифм. Мой русский язык только постепенно становится лучше.
Der Gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
Der gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel verschnabelt alles, was ihm in den Weg kommt. Ob Tier, ob Pflanze, ob Pilz, ob Vielkernschleimpilze (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). Wenn aber nichts kommt, beginnt er zu suchen. Dann verschmäht der Gemeine Maiglöckchenschnabel weder Steine noch Gebirge, weder Sümpfe noch Lavaströme. Diese extreme Anpassung bei guter Mimikry ermöglicht ihm das Überleben.
The common lily-of-the-valley beak (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
The common lily-of-the-valley beak devours everything that comes into its way. Whether animal, plant, fungus, or plasmodial slime mold (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). But when nothing comes along, it begins to search. Then the common lily-of-the-valley beak despises neither stones nor mountains, neither swamps nor streams of lava. This extreme adaptability, together with good mimicry, enables its survival.
Обыкновенный ландышеклюв (Lilium-vallis rostriformae)
Обыкновенный ландышеклюв, also Клюв ландышевой пташки, пожирает всё, что попадается ему на пути. Будь то животное, растение, гриб или многоядерный слизевик (Blob, Physarum polycephalum). Но если ничего не встречается, он начинает поиски. Тогда обыкновенный ландышеклюв не брезгует ни камнями, ни горами, ни болотами, ни потоками лавы. Эта чрезвычайная приспособляемость вместе с хорошей мимикрией обеспечивает ему выживание.
I think that was a quarter in the middle of the photo paper along with a light bulb in there somewhere. I splattered developer on to the paper with my fingers.
Shown here is another expired paper photogram. I explained the process for creating these in my entry “Photogram 19.”
Some fresh flowers from the garden, today is very cold. Since i was having the chemicals all open already, why not do some more traditional photo-grams. Using Agfa Paper, exposed with RGB LED (white color used) for 20 seconds from 1.5m distance giving good sharp contours. Development with dilute bw developer till image a bit too dark, then fix and bleach back and fix repeatedly till I like it.
