An image of a 1940's La Salle, parked in the neighborhood.

Phase 2 (Larger Format 4x5) New Experiment!!

Camera: Modified Mamiya Universal w/Polaroid 4x5 film holder.
Film: Handcrafted silver nuclei transparency/Fujifil m B/W FP-3000b instant negative (4x5) with processing pod for 180 sec.
Exposure: Metered 1/125 @ f22.
Shotdate: 9/27/2011.
Location: Carson City,NV.
Scanned: As a reflection print/on auto/under glass with mounting clips and the paper side-rail masks intacted.
Note: Incomplete chemical regent spread.

Greetings Everyone!

For those of you who may still find experimental handcrafted instant transparency/prints interesting...Please enjoy! More experiments...more projects...more fun.Expect the unexpected and embrace the light.

Evaluation

The nuclei is a another new formula and a different coating technique. Density is still on the low end of the scale, which means it can be viewed as a meduim density reflection print or a low density transparency.
Image tone seems fairly neutral and image resolution is still improving.
The image is still susceptible to scratching and is now mounted under glass for handling.
Color interference swirls continue to be the hallmark of this process.

Refinements In The Not To Distant Future

1) Motorized roller system with adjustable gap and pressure.
2) Alternative negative film for greater density with a top coat added to the R-Sheet.
3) Handcrafted chemical transfer regent.
4) Larger format size (5x7) with a handcrafted camera.

Scientific Note
The silver nuclei coating on the R-Sheets is only 1 Angstrom...that's .00000001 thick. That makes them a delicate gossamar-like coating...indeed!
