Camera obscura in my studio

Perfect light for the camera obscura this morning. Fingers crossed for good weather tomorrow for the Centenary Open Day @leighspinnersmill #largeformat #alternativeprocess #cameraobscura #leighspinnersmill

I'll be turning my studio into a Camera Obscura for the mills Centenary Open Day on the 7th June

Here are a couple of tests, it really does rely on a bright day, so fingers crossed the sun returns. Although I do like those clouds.

Caffenol negatives held up to the light

Some prints made from the cagfenol negatives. Not too bad considering.

Negatives mad with caffenol process held up to the light

Print made with the caffenol negatives. Showing a large ladder at a window in my empty studio.

I thought I'd give Caffenol processing a go today after putting it off for many years.
I'll have to give it another go.

More info and thoughts over on my blog.

We had a wonderful Open Day at Leigh Spinners Mill this Saturday. Thanks to everyone who called into my studio to see what I do and chat photography. In the brief, quieter moments, I was able to take time to show visitors some contact printing.

The next one is our Centenary event on the 7th June.

Mixed some Van Dyke Brown chems today, not done any in a long while. Cropped from 12x15 inch glass plates.

Two tintypes in the wash

A lovely workshop yesterday with @orrin.pierre and @elyssaiona, who both produced some great tintypes and ambrotypes.

Good to meet you both, and well done on producing some great images.

Underdeveloped 35mm negatives that were so thin I didn't given them a second glance in 2022 until now.

Printed on Ilford Matt Classic FB at Grade 5. Yes, Grade 5.

I was really surprised by the tonality and detail. Not the most interesting of pics, but I might Bromoil them to see how they look.

Maybe still photograph it at intervals though.

Yes, I'd posted it over on the UK collodion FB page. Mark Ostermans' suggestion. Makes sense, and then you can see the changes compared to areas unaffected by light.
