- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I have experience with pinhole photography, but have never done it completely on my own- and now my photos are very unpredictable
I am using Illford Harman B/W Direct Positive FB glossy
The first photo I took came out okay- just too much contrast (no gray), but every photo afterwards ended up either almost completely black or very blurry
I thought I could fix it by altering the exposure times- from 1:00-4:00 minutes, but there was almost no pattern
**my paper says to expose for approximately 1-2 minutes(direct sun), 2-3(sun), and 3-4(cloudy)- which I have followed
Maybe it's the way I'm facing the sun??
I heard that preflashing can help with this particular type of paper, but am not sure how to do it so I have only experimented
PLEASE HELP!!
