hi
I finally got my wooden 4x5 camera lightproof and taken few test shots
using paper negatives. Results are fine, but some recent talk here (esp.
diluting developer) made me search for methods for better tonality.
Flashing (ie. pre-exposure) was one I've already tried, but these tests
showed a little increase in details. Diluting the developer is next
thing I'm going to try, but still there are other methods, using
multigrade filter for example. Problem with paper negative seems to be
the total lack of details in the sky, getting the sky with some clouds
make the print look more "real". Does anybody of you know some web-pages
to look for more information? Google search finds tons of pages not
necessarily related with the subject. As I scan the paper negatives,
there's also the possibilty to use computer to improve the prints, but
if the scan shows no details, I'm not going to add some nice clouds from
other pictures :-)
thanks
