NEW FILM !!

We just got some new film so we've given it a bit of a test its not a full 20x24 because we cut a piece to test red sensitivity on.  Its orthographic film so we can use it in the dark room with the red safe lights, but we just wanted to check you don't want to ruin a whole box of 20x24. It looking pretty good a lot less contrast than the other film its also a lot faster which means we can shoot at smaller apertures and get sharper images. Awesome.

Royal photographic society

On friday the 13th of may me, tim and james took the camera out and photographed the delegates from the Royal Photographic society conference in plymouth, then with the help of cass we created 2 20x24 cyanotype contact prints which we presented to the society on the sunday they seemed very pleased with the prints and they took them back to the society to hopefully add to the collection. we hope to create some smaller prints for them as they have asked for some.

I will get some images of the cyanotpyes when I get chance

The Negative and the Print

Here is an image of one of our first negatives  this is one of the better ones we are still trying to work out the kinks  of the film but hopefully we should be using the  some better film stocks soon.
