making photograms w\16m film - any advice?
jsamsworth wrote:
Hi, Im trying to make 16mm photograms (not stills), at the moment i am using Agtha STA (with ISO\ASA of 80) negative film, Do you mean Agfa? Ive found exposing for 2-3 seconds works well. Ive been using paper developer instead of film developer, what sort of difference will this make - i am new to home developing. Paper developer will probably yield a grainier negative than film developer would. The images come out pretty well. But appear a little purple, (someone said i should leave the film in the fixer\stop bath longer. The purple is a coating on t-grained films. You get rid of it by adequating rinsing of the film after development (or even beetween the developer and fixer baths). I find that the use of Permawash eliminates the coloration fastest. Also, it seems like after a point of time in the developer it stops darkening the image. Can i leave the film in there indefinitely. You have me there. I am very careful to regulate the time film spends in developer. I may be wrong, but it is my understanding that film development proceeds without completion, unlike paper development. Francis A.
