   Hi guys, I'm pretty new here. I set up a vintage photo booth at a flea market, you can check out the pictures above! It uses direct positive photo paper that I shoot and develop on the spot. Also, I have other film photos I have posted on my website. I urge you to check them out. https://andrewyuen.carbonmade.com/projects/5838519 I really like some of the images in this 4x5 thread. Most actually. But the forum format is a bit of a pain. thedoorstopper fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 5, 2016 |

Done, thanks for the thumbnail suggestion! also sharp eye, I love my btzs hood. I previously used a made in China one. It had this horrific chemical smell of plastic that could never wash off. The hood is great!

Hi, I`m using Harman Direct Positive Paper. I can't comment about the high contrast thing, I use it only in conjunction with a speedlight. You can sort of see my setup in the photo i`ve posted, I`m using a flash sync cable at f/6.3 @ with a 430 EXii at full power and full zoom at about 0.5m away from the subject. Development wise, I developed in Ilford Paper dev at the recommended times for FB paper. 2 mins plus. I don't have any experience using it in daylight, I would assume due to its dramatically low ISO it would be a crapshoot if a scene is already contrasty to begin with. Perhaps you could try shooting in diffused lighting. There's a new Galaxy photo paper coming out though, that should be less finicky to use. Cheers

 Yup, agree with the contrasty properties of the Harman Paper. This one I photographed of myself kept it's tonality pretty well though. I`ve never seen the direct positive thing as anything more than a novelty. I use it so that I can develop a print for a stranger on the spot, which is only achievable practically through this process. ( Other than polaroid. ) I do shoot other stuff such as C41 and E6 photos, which are the ones posted below:

If it's not too badly torn you can try bostick and Sullivan's bellows patch kit. Alternatively you can try eccameraonline2008(sp?) on eBay

Ansel: Been looking at some of Dan Winters 4x5 stuff. Thought I'll keep the clip marks! As for the rebate, that's just me being a bit sloppy. Btw getting some Stephen Shore vibes from your photos. I went through a period where I really liked his work, then found it meh, but I'm starting to warm to it again and yours are interesting.  I think Shores work is interesting if you don't live in America, otherwise it seems banal I suppose.as for the choice, I didn't have Portra on hand. Ektar isn't a bad choice for skin tones, but I must admit I had quite a time attempting to balance the skin tones in post. If anyone has a good solution to matching skin tones amongst a series of pictures, I would love love to hear it!

I really like how the foliage at the foreground blends with the land mass. Pretty cool stuff. What do you use to scan btw?

Sloppy day of shooting. I shot 4 sheets, only 1 turned out. No idea what happened to the rest. Tried developing them all at once. Also managed to put the dark slide the wrong way back, so now I either have 2 shots of slide film or 1 double exposed slide. lol  Fuji Across thedoorstopper fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jul 5, 2016 |
