Now this could be FUN, Efke B&W POSITIVE paper!

Not sure if anyone has seen this yet but, this could make for some fun experimenting. This week, Freestyle Photo just got in Efke's new B&W POSITIVE paper available in both RC and single weight FB. Could make for some fun, 1 off, pinhole time lapse shots and I do mean TIME LAPSE!:

Shoot in camera at a speed rating of approximately ISO 1 - 6

It's a bit more expensive than Fotokemika's normal paper but, think I might pick up a box of 4x5 or 5x7 next order to play a bit. Here's a link if anyone is interested:

I saw this in my last catalogue. I am thinking this would be great paper for effects. Pen and ink and posterization would be two on the top of my list.

I'm not familiar with posterization??? Any chance you could elaborate?

Using Lith film, you make three positives with different dark areas ( this can be done in a number of ways, F-stop being the easiest). You then use one of the three positives (this is another point where you can experiment for different end results) to make a negative. Align all three copies with the negative at the bottom. Tape them together or use registration pins ( I prefer the pins). This is all contact printing of course. The trick is to make three exposures removing two of the positives without moving the paper. Everyone has a different way of doing this, I prefer using registration pins (I have a light table, so this is much easier). You can use tape and tape the neg on two sides to a board, taping the other two positives on one side to the neg and slip the paper into this pocket.

You are breaking the negative down into light gray, dark gray, and black. It flattens everything, so it takes the right negative to get something interesting. It was a procedure that jumped to mind with this paper because I was thinking that a third positive would change everything .
