Lumen prints are made by taking sheets of unexposed black-and-white photo paper and placing objects or negatives on top as if you were going to make a photogram, but instead of using an enlarger you take the paper out into the sun. The results will vary due to exposure times, density of photogram or negative, quality of light and, most importantly, the type of paper. Each paper will have a different color, depending on whether it was old or new, fiber or resin, and the manufacturer. According to an article by Jerry Burchfield (on www.freestylebiz.com), exposures can vary from half an hour to days and sometimes even months. © Barbara Dombach.
Barbara does selective fixing so she can create vibrant colors and tones. Materials needed - Black and white photo paper, preferably out-of-date paper (or film) - photogram materials or plants - negatives - contact print frame or two pieces of glass and clips - the sun The process 1. . © Ky Lewis. . © Alan Green.

Text by SUSAN MINOT Nicholas Nixon was visiting his wife’s family when, “on a whim,” he said, he asked her and her three sisters if he could take their picture. It was summer 1975, and a black-and-white photograph of four young women — elbows casually attenuated, in summer shirts and pants, standing pale and luminous against a velvety background of trees and lawn — was the result. A year later, at the graduation of one of the sisters, while readying a shot of them, he suggested they line up in the same order.
After he saw the image, he asked them if they might do it every year. “They seemed O.K. with it,” he said; thus began a project that has spanned almost his whole career. Who are these sisters? Whenever a woman is photographed, the issue of her vanity is inevitably raised, but Nixon has finessed this with his choice of natural light, casual manner and unfussy preparation. Throughout this series, we watch these women age, undergoing life’s most humbling experience.
Portfolio Prize 2015 - Aperture Foundation. How to Lith Print Black & White Negatives. In Lith Printing black and white negatives are over exposed (usually by two or three stops) onto conventional black and white paper. The paper is then developed in a highly diluted lithographic A/B developer. The result is a print that nearly jumps off the page because the developer increases the edge-sharpness (or accutance) in the higher contrast areas of the print.
Lith prints are also usually warm-toned ranging widely from caramel to burnt-ochre. Grade 3 papers lend themselves well to Lith Printing, as do papers with higher than average silver content. For the most beautiful results avoid papers with whiteners, brighteners or "built-in" developers. In application, this technique is exciting for students because it breaks most of the rules of traditional photo processing and forces them to make quick, nearly instinctive choices. Exposures are "a few minutes long," and the print is assessed by eye in the developer. Other good lith developers are made by Moersch and Arista Premium.

Cyanotype – the classic process « Cyanotypes. Writer / Malin Fabbri and Gary FabbriPhotography / Malin Fabbri Cyanotype process – a modified extract from the book Blueprint to cyanotypes describing the classic or traditional cyanotype process. Always be careful when handling chemicals. Read the health and safety instructions. Unlike photographs set in silver, like in black and white photography, cyanotypes are using a solution of iron compounds. The photograph can be taken with a camera, like a digital camera, and the resulting photo turned into a negative that can be used to make a cyanotype. The basic cyanotype recipe has not changed very much since Sir John Herschel introduced it in 1842. The cyanotype process at a glance The cyanotype process is simple. Mixing chemicalsThe cyanotype is made up of two simple solutions.
Potassium ferricyanide and Ferric ammonium citrate (green) are mixed with water separately.The two solutions are then blended together in equal parts.

Writer and photography / Brian Young Brian Young tells the fascinating story of salt prints and cyanotypes – photographic printing processes from the 19th Century.
“Iron Bridge, Chiang Mai” by Brian Young. Salt print and cyanotype compared. With numerous websites, workshops and exhibitions inviting us to enjoy alternative prints and learn how to make them, non-digital photographic processes, such as salt prints, cyanotypes, van Dyke, albumen and platinum/palladium prints are claiming an increasing number of followers. Why am I interested in printing without an inkjet? Are they outdated? There have been numerous arguments about “nostalgic and sentimental” alternative prints, whether they compete with digital and automatically position themselves as more “artistic”. Since the early years of the 19th Century the development of the camera has proceeded alongside the understanding of how certain materials react to light and how they can be used to capture and retain an image. Equipment. Lith Printing. Lith Printing... An Introduction By Tim Rudman Lith printing is not a new process, but it did fall out of favour when Kodak withdrew their beautiful Lith paper ‘Kodalith LP’ about twenty years ago.
Now, Lith printing’s star is in the ascendancy once again and this time rising higher than ever before. What is Lith Printing? Before considering what Lith printing is, it may be helpful first of all to state what it isn’t, as this often gives rise to confusion. Lith printing is a simple but ‘different’ Black & White printing technique, using ‘ordinary’ B&W or colour negatives, a suitable black & white paper and Lith developer – from which the process gets its name. This process has often been shrouded in mystery and described as ‘unduplicatable’ with no two prints ever looking similar.
This is a very creative printing process and the results are unlike conventional black and white printing in several respects. Lith prints also tone very enthusiastically, particularly in selenium and in gold. The Crafted Photograph - Techniques. The Crafted Photograph - Adam Fuss. Background The photographer Adam Fuss is best known for arresting, brilliant colored photograms that break habits of seeing. His work investigates the elements of life and the basic materials of photography. Part of the appeal of the photogram for Fuss is its directness. The objects depicted in the photogram came into physical contact with the very paper on which the final print appears. The experience is somehow more tactile, more visceral. Fuss was attracted to photography at school in England in the 1970s and his first photogram was the result of an accident.
While Fuss was taking a pinhole photograph using a homemade cardboard-box camera, the opening that served as the camera's lens was accidentally closed off. The Crafted Photograph - Sally Mann. Mastering Photo » Jill Enfield’s Guide to Photographic Alternative Processes – Lumen Prints. Wynn Bullock: A Life in Art. Wynn Bullock (April 18, 1902 – November, 16, 1975) was born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in South Pasadena, California. As a boy, his passions were singing and athletics (football, baseball, swimming, and tennis).
After high school graduation, he moved to New York to pursue a musical career and was hired as a chorus member in Irving Berlin’s Music Box Revue. He occasionally sang the primary tenor role when headliner John Steele was unable to appear and then was given a major role with the Music Box Review Road Company. During the mid-1920s, he furthered his career in Europe, studying voice and giving concerts in France, Germany, and Italy. During the Great Depression of the early 1930s, Wynn stopped his European travels and settled in West Virginia to manage his first wife’s family business interests. And continued to take photographs as a hobby. From 1938 to 1940, Wynn became deeply involved in exploring alternative processes such as solarization and bas relief. Seek to understand.

Is anyone selling their Leica M6 (I dare to ask) Aaron, comparing the rangefinder in a Leica to the one in the Mamiya, they are not at all the same. The Leica’s should be brighter and easier to use. Mamiyas are great cameras. But they are not really Leicas on steroids as their appearance might suggest.
They are very different beasts indeed. Trying an Argus before your first Leica is a bit like riding a bicycle before driving a car — irrelevant — because using a Leica is so idiosyncratic that it’s really not like anything else. Now, a camera geek essay on frustration and redemption: I, for one, actually don’t like most rangefinder cameras. And the small rangefinders, that everyone raves about, like that Olympus XA, or the Canon G-III QL 17, they have cult followings. And the Leica screw mounts, the Russian copies, frankly, they all suck.
Nikon came close as well, but they had their awful Contax-inspired lens mount which isn’t compatible with Leica. Of more recent offerings, in another thread I’ve ranted against the Zeiss Ikon.
