Photos OK to edit
Have hade some problem to get any detail in the sky and the rest of the sceen when using darkroom paper as film.
But manage to get true this problem with the use of color filter.
In this case I have used a green filter + Pol filter.





Technical info
Camera: Chamonix 045n-2 (4×5″ large format)
Lens: Schneider – Kreuznach Componar 135mm f/4.5
Film: Paper negative
Scanner: Epson V700
Place: Uddevalla / Sweden

Paper of what make ? RC or FB ? VC ?
 
Turned out pretty well. Good tonal range.
 
Very nice. I'd like to know what kind of paper you used, too. I've been playing with Harman Direct Positive, but I'd like to try some paper negatives and contact printing and get slightly confused about what to use.

I have used Foma fomaspeed variant 312 RC which I find to work quite well for this.
Thay stay nice and flat in the film holder but you need to gently bend the paper a little so the papers emulsion side don't buckles outwards when you load them.
Not the best paper for a direct flatbed scan but I scan these as regular film which works good.

I have written some posts on my blog about this.
