402 Illegal Pulls and a Dev With Crema

And the thing we want to do today is some detox.

We'll...

Toss the digital side to the side and look at a few fun things we did on the weekend.

We held a film workshop here in our house.

And we did illegal things.

We did things you're not supposed to do.

With chemicals.

With chemicals.

Well, not literally illegal, but… We did a lot of non-mainstream things with film.

Things that you would not do if you were developing film.

At least 95% of people wouldn't do these kind of things.

Um... uh the kind of starting from the simple we just did some cyanotype that is simple enough cyanotype you just pretty much you buy the the pre-coated paper or you buy the chemicals and then you make that paper light sensitive and then you expose it in the sun with either things lying on it or negatives on it and then you Develop it in water.

Super simple.

One of the oldest photographic processes.

And what you get is, it's known as a blueprint.

That's where the blueprint comes from.

It's the bluish, blue-white paper kind of thing.

Cool.

That was simple enough.

We did a stand development, which is a development where you don't move the tank, you just fill it, you put the film in, you put it in a corner and you leave it there.

And usually you do these types of developments for like 16 to 90 minutes normally.

And it's a way to develop stuff that is, if you don't know, if you buy a camera from eBay and there's a film in it and you don't know what film it is and how it was exposed, then stand development is a good way to handle that.

If it's very equalizing, you can have several different films with different ISOs in there and they will all come out just fine.

We did one overnight, 17 hours.

Wow, okay.
