In this video, I tried something more experimental again in our series of film photography videos. I shoot a portrait session using a 8x10 Eastman No2 camera and using the FOMA Fomabrom photo paper as the taking medium. The paper is then reversal processed to turn it into a positive.
What do you think of this process? Let me know you thoughts and comments.

Awesome video. I’ve been experimenting with shooting direct to paper over quarantine. Scanning and inverting is easy enough, but reversal is the next step for me, so this video will be a great help when I finally try it!

Really nice work! Thanks for sharing your process with us. I’m very interested in how you lightened the photo after your final developing. I will have to give that a try!

@AnaloguePT 4 жыл бұрын

thank you. to lighten the print, I just used some of the used bleach from the bleaching stage and maybe dilute 3-5 times. Say maybe add add 300ml of water to 100ml of bleach . We need diluted bleach otherwise the bleaching effect maybe too fast and bleach away more than what we want. Then I pour in the diluted bleach and agitate the bleach around the print. Once I see the print bleach to the intensity I want, I quickly pour it away and wash it with water.

@@AnaloguePT Thanks for this! I’ll give it a try - I’m using peroxide so I’ll need to experiment a bit. I’ve used this lockdown to do a lot of experiments with reversal prints.

Wow so cool. Is it normal cleaning bleach you used?

@AnaloguePT 2 жыл бұрын

no it is not. The bleach used in this video is potassium dichromate based. You can refer to this blog where i learnt. cherrykino.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-way-of-developing-bw-reversal-film.html?m=1. . Do handle dichromate with care though.

Could you overexpose and under develop for and better tonal range?

@AnaloguePT 2 жыл бұрын

Never tried that before. My guess is you can use a weaker dilution developer n developby sight. Some will use preflash to control.

Great video .. thanks for showing every step. Can you tell us what you are using for bleach and how are you mixing it (proportions?) You said you used to use potassium permanganate, but the video cuts to another scene before you told us what the new one is that you use! Thanks again.

I have a question. Is sodium bisulfate and ootassium permanganate that you use are in powder form? If so can you me the formula for working solution. Thanks very much in advance, Cheng.

@AnaloguePT 2 жыл бұрын

16grams of sodium bisulfate to 250ml water. 1g of potassium permanganate to 250ml. Pour bisulfate solution solution to potassium permanganate solution.

@@reynaldocastaneda4712 u can reuse for a few prints. U can test the strength by cutting a strip of unwanted print and put it in the bleach and if it bleaches away the time

thank you. it is the dichromate based bleach so not sure if it is easy to get the chemicals on your end. you can refer to this blog where I picked up the recipe and the usual safety reading ; cherrykino.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-way-of-developing-bw-reversal-film.html

What was your exposure setting for camera? Beautiful portrait and thank you for this video!

@AnaloguePT 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. I use the biggest aperture at f7 and 0.5 secs. I metered at iso 3 for the paper and add like 3 steps to it but i think it will need more for reversal.
