I spent monday and tuesday in the darkroom and I will post some results of how a photo looks when you cook the film while developing the negative images. The negs have tiny flaws and look as if I used a grainy film. You'll see it soon but now I have another question:
Who knows where I can get a 126 instamatic film??
..and don't have to pay 45$ shipping (frugalphotographer.com)
I have an old Kodak instamatic camera* and it needs a 126 cartridge /PAK 126. There's a german online shop which usually sells them but they don't have them in their current catalogue! Damn.
I want this film. I could make square photos and I'd love to experiment with this camera! Ive read that one can reload the cartridge with common 135 film so the only thing I need is one of these cartridges.. There are some KodacolorII 126 on ebay but shipping costs would kill every nice price because they are fom America.
Can anyone help?
* haha.. this is the camera that the killer in Whispers of the Dead(Simon Beckett) used.
as I want to use it for photographic experiments I think it belongs here.

polaroid emulsion lift (very delicate and hard not to break 'the picture') you have to put your polaroids in hot water and with a paintbrush transfer it to any kind of paper you like and then let it dry, but the thing you get is very fragile here's an example of what you can get: www.flickr.com/photos/candelia/1896929726/in/set-72157602974617315/(at the time i did this the pola emulsion lift technique was all explained on the polaroid website but i've just checked and as they don't sell pola59 anymore (and many other great kind of polaroids) it's not on the website anymore, arf) and sometimes, unwanted results with polaroids (i didn't let them dry correctly so a piece of a pola got glued to the back of another one) can be fun: www.flickr.com/photos/candelia/3638224226/ |

polaroid emulsion lift (very delicate and hard not to break 'the picture') [...] the thing you get is very fragile but really that looks like pure fragileness!  I would try it if I had a polaroid camera  --- eta: I have an orthochromatic film in one of my cameras and I'm not sure what to do with it. I mean.. yeah I can work on it in red light but how? I thought I might splatter some acid on it and see what happens when it's developed afterwards but I have no idea what kind of acid I should use. A friend told me I could just sprinkle some cola on it as cola is quite aggressive. ideas? |

haribo is a french brand of candies that's not true. Haribo is one of the most popular german brands and they produce it in Bonn wich once was the capital of germany(till 1990 to be exact). The name already says it HAns RIegel BOnn. I live one hour from there btw and it's good that I don't live closer to it because in the factory shop they offer their candies cheaper than in supermarkets. --- on-topic did you ever try outdoor scanning? |

oops mistake, sorry ps: does ZAN means anything in german? haha now I think I was wrong.. I thought they would produce everything here and ship it worldwide but they have many factories in different countries. Haribo bought the french company Ricqles Zan and so their french name is Haribo Zan, it doesn't mean anything, it's just the name. They produce in Marseille and Uzès. but whatever.. scanning!  I always wanted to try outdoor scanning. any helpful tips? |
