My first shots with direct positive paper. The two frames of connor were taken with a pentax mx, so these are tiny 35mm sized pieces of paper stuffed into the camera! One came out pretty good, the other not so good with the emulsion damage being down to my rough handling and impatience. The flower pot shot and the one of Ella were shot through my Rodenstock Clarovid. The flower pots are over exposed but the vintage tones and the vignetting are quite nice. Missed focus on Ella which is a constant source of frustration with this camera and lots of blemishes in the highlights ( not her skin lol) ..! That may have been because i opened the lens right up on this one (another reason for the missed focus) There seems to be quite literally zero latitude with this stuff so you have to get the exposure just right, the only shot that i can say i nailed exposure wise was the full frame picture of connor which i think is pretty cool. Heres the problem though, shooting like i did, one frame at a time makes it impossible out in the field, no easy way of unloading and putting new pieces of paper in the camera.... unless i were to load all of my cameras in the darkroom with pieces of paper and take them on a shoot, then i might be able to shoot about 20 frames in one session ! hmm now that could be fun. Sorry for the longwinded description but i thought someone out there might be thinking about having a go with this stuff. Hopefully this might be useful. Oh yes, also it does pay to wash the prints properly and let them dry before scanning ha ha, Ilford recommends 30minutes in running water, mine are straight out of a bucket!
