Positive Image

I made a positive image from using a picture that i took with my pinhole camera. To the left is the positive image and the right picture is negative. The picture i took with my pinhole camera is negative, but i used the enlarger in the dark room to change it to positive. Changing from negative to positive switches the blacks to whites and whites to blacks. When using the enlarger you have to start with a test strip to find out the correct lighting and time. You also have to get it to the brightest light and the the best focus point. After that you move the light to F8. Make sure your test strip or film isn't  in any light. The lighting and time can effect how light or dark the picture is. After you use the enlarger, you have to do the same process of chemicals as you did with the pinhole camera film. After the strip is in the chemicals and agitated correctly, it will come out with a nice positive picture.

  1. I can see that you know how to use the enlarger to make a test strip and a positive image. Moving forward include all your strips in the photo that you upload onto the blog.
