Hey there budro! I am doing awesome man. I couldnt be happier with usc. well...unless it was clemson. haha but I am going to be done in aug. I am thinking about teaching in greenville if so I will def. let you know. How is your life going. I hope amazing.
I still need to do some tweaking... but they are at least developing now. I don't seem to have much highlight... they seem very gray to me. I'm playing with the exposure time to see if that helps. If not, (and I'm thinking not) I'll have to tweak the curves some more. Any advice is welcome, as usual. I finally gave up on the blacklight... I just don't get any results. My theory (as flawed as it might be) is that the UV just isn't strong enough to penetrate the emulsion like it should. So, even though it appears to have exposed... it's not really. Just my theory.
Blake, thanks for all your help. I've resigned myself for waiting for sunny days... Even with the curves and aluminum foil, the blacklights just weren't cutting it. They would appear to be overexposed until i went to rinse... then all the emulsion would wash away. Luckily, the sun came out while I was working one day and that seemed to get the results I was expecting. It still needs some tweaking, but at least now I know not to waste my time with the blacklights.
I've got to do one thing before I run over to the studio... it might make it a little closer to 6-- depending on how bad traffic is on the way over. give me a call if this is an issue. 864-230-1669
I'm working tomorrow until 5:15. I can swing by artbomb afterwards and meet you if that will work with your schedule. I've been doing this at home-- easier to keep things clean there. I'll bring my negatives w/ me. I don't remember you sending me any curves. If you did, I've forgotten AND lost it. Maybe that's the problem.
Even with the different paper (I got 2 sheets of Arches and tore them down), the blacklights are taking at least an hour exposure... and the emulsion is still washing away. Even with no agitation. Perhaps I just need good old fashioned sunlight? Any ideas?
Blue is sometimes not an easy color to make.
Blue pigments of the past have often been expensive (ultramarine blue was made from the gemstone lapis lazuli, ground up), poisonous (cobalt blue is a possible carcinogen and Prussian blue, another wel...
