The final version. Note the sketched look to the lightpost, the walls of some of the buildings, and the main tree trunk.
Fiber based paper curls a lot, and my internegative would not lie flat, even when squished between two sheets of glass, binder clips around the edges, and me holding down as many edges as i could. The tree trunks are blurry at the top as a result...I had to pick an area that was going to get fuzzy. In future, I will probably use RC paper until the final print. I might shoot on fiber and enlarge a medium-fromat sized print, which would get lots more 'fiber' showing in the final print. Lots to try here.
Note this series of shots is made using my P&S digicam, and so lots of lighting and paper curl artifacts are apparent.
This is a process I learned from a book called "Hand Colouring and Alternative Darkroom Processes" by Andrew Sanderson.
Playing around with exposure and aperture - both photos allowed a
similar amount of light, even though in one the snow is less blurry
due to a shorter shutter time.
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/3.2
Testing out my new Lomo'Instant Wide camera on a sunny day, I need to remember to turn off the flash before each photo. And to set the focusing distance.

Aurora was the first city in the United States to use electric lighting to light the entire city and was thereby named, The City of Lights.
This is one of the many original antique lightposts.

big electrical pole and a lightpost/stoplight pole.
my scanner is crap so to get decent pictures from my 16mm microfilm escapades (110 reloads, submini/spy cameras) i have to actually use my enlarger. i'm still learning how to work it, but here's the first enlargement from my Minolta-16 P, using Copex microfilm.
the enlarger isn't designed for this small format, and won't go high enough on an 8x10 to fill the frame. also, i had to improvise a 16mm negative carrier by sandwiching the negative between two strips of 35mm film, with a rectangle cut out. works well! what you see is a black border where the mask rectangle is bigger than the image, followed by the rough edge of the rectangle cutout.
print was still wet when i put it on the scanner. this ain't perfect, but it's proof of concept. and i think this is a strong image too!
This another 'lucky scratch'. I don't think the negative is actually scratched, but that commet and stars comes from the way I scanned the image. I used my 3mp digital camera to take a picture of the negative on a lightboard, with a pane of glass on top to keep it flat. The mark is no doubt a smudge on the glass. But for me, it makes the picture.
Shot on 16mm Copex microfilm, ASA 25 or so. Developed in a Beutler style developer for low contrast. The camera is a Minolta-16 (not the same as the Minolta-16 P). The 16 is in fact what the Kiev 30 was copied from, and is almost identical in function. I bought some filters for it off ebay, thinking they'd fit my 16P. I was wrong, but the seller happened to find the camera the filters belonged to, and threw it in for free. Other than a cracked viewfinder glass, it seems to be functioning perfectly.
