Homemade pinhole camera with harman positive direct 8x10 paper

Simply beautiful. Cleared up alot of my doubts!! Thank you

I like the results you've got. The tonal range is quite impressive for the Harman DPP. I have some questions if you don't mind: - what developer did you use? - what was your exposure time? - pinhole 0.5mm? - focal length - f tsop That's a lot but very useful intel :) Thanks for sharing

You set up 3 trays but only showed 2 being used. Did you use fixer or just developer and stopper? Asking cause im gonna try to develop my own pinhole pics this week

[@h1jadelaluna]

ive done that many times & you should dip the paper in three baths, dev for 90 secs, stop for 15 secs and fix for 4 mins (while agitating the tray for all) hope it helps :)

I'm using three trays same as I would with a 4x5 black and white neg, dev, stop, fix

I had a strange and shocking experience with harman positive paper direct I could not find an explanation for it after taking a picture with the pinhole camera.. I was developing by a developer of caffeinol, washing soda and homemade vitamin C.. The surprising thing after the development is that the picture appeared negative instead of positive.. who has it Explanation for that. Whoever has gone through this experience, what is the solution? I still have a quantity of Harman paper and I am afraid that the frustration will recur again.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure how you did that !

@@kl4759 Even I did not understand what happened and how it happened 😳🙄 The strange thing is that I repeated the experiment more than one paper, but the result is the same.. that is, the image is always negative, although I did all the steps correctly and searched for errors and did not find .. Could there be a manufacturing defect In paper or maybe expired.. what explains it, I almost went crazy😤

I have no idea how that happened nor how when I developed a roll of old found and exposed 16mm movie film I had images but the next day when the film was dry they were all gone! I've discussed this with a true expert and he can't figure it out. Strange things happen in this hobby.
