2001-08-22 Thread Benjamin Privitt
Hi folks, This question may have more to do with general darkroom procedure rather than being specifically pinhole-oriented, but here goes. I have very dense negatives from a Zero 2000. These are outdoor, full sunlight images on a variety of films that have lots of detail, and lots of grain.

Hi: I work with people that regularly produce overexposed negs. It is possible to get some detail out of them if you have good control of your scanner. First if you are scanning negatives you must have a transparency or negative scanner. Scanning negs like prints won't work. If you don't have

Try contact printing the dense negs to get a usable positive then scan the positive. Use low contrast paper. Use intense light, even sunlight to expose the print. Then develop to get some white highlights and grey shadows. Your scanner can handle pale prints much better than dense negs. I have an 8
