Longtime ago I downloaded the book (lots of htmls and gifs) and have it in my disk drive, it is about 1.5MB ZIP compressed. There is also a PDF version here http://www.ushist.com/props/inc/albumen_salted_paper_reilly.pdf Guillermo

Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 11:56 AM Subject: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film hi, after using 4x5 film holders with my pinhole while traveling, I am very interested in the film that is already in a holder. I can't remember the name of it. does anyone have information about what I am trying to describe??? So instead of having to load the film into a holder you can buy a pack of film in its own holder. I am interested in black and white film, 100 speed. curious where to buy it, and how many come in a pack. Some people where talking about it a while back, but I have deleted the information. also: I'm looking through my first pinhole images, and most of them were handheld 45 second eposure, so they look hazey/ slightly blurred which I love. I am considering printing sizes as I am planning on having a show of these images. But I am curious about how much more blurred it will be if I blow them up really large. I will most likely lose alot of the detail, and they may look really blown out But because they are images with castles in them, they just scream at me to be bigger. Does anyone have experience printing this type of image large? Did you lose the image quality so much that it wasn't worth the enlargement??? Curious before i get started. also: has anyone used alternative methods of printing such as kallitype? Or salt printing? Interested in creating more depth / and using an old method of printing for these castles. thank you !

Re: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film
Hi: Salt printing is one of the easiest alternative processes - (cyanotype is the easiest) One of the best books on salt printing (and albumen printing) is The Albumen and Salted Paper Book by James Reilly - its out of print but is available online as a web page at: http://albumen.stanford.edu/library/monographs/reilly/ Also see: George L. Smyth's altprocess page http://mywebpages.comcast.net/hmpi/AltProcess/Articles/AltArticles.htm For an introduction to alt-process see http://duke.usask.ca/~holtsg/photo/faq.html For everything you ever wanted to know about alternative processes see the alt-photo-process mailing list archive http://www.usask.ca/lists/alt-photo-process/ Gord (who manages to alt-photo-process list :) ) On Wed, 16 Oct 2002, Catherine Just wrote: also: has anyone used alternative methods of printing such as kallitype?

I can't remember the name of it. I think you are referring to the readyload packs from Kodak. I use TMAX ones for black and white. They are substantially more expensive than traditional film packages, but you can't beat the convenience of not having to load and unload in a dark place. Also, your film stays cleaner and is less likely to get scratched, in my experience. Check this document: http://www.kodak.com/global/en/service/pubs/kic/kic92753/kic92753.pdf
Re: [pinhole-discussion] 4x5 film
The film type is referred to as 'quickload' or 'readyload', depending on the manufacturer, and generally comes in b/w, color neg and color transparency. It fits a 4x5 Polaroid back and functions similarly to Polaroid sheets in the way the paper functions like a dark slide. It's much more expensive than traditional sheet film, as you're paying for the convenience. Any major supplier should carry it; try bhphoto.com in NYC.
