This is intriguing but I'm not sure of the process. Is this using the paper itself as a negative? I've read about such processes but never tried it myself.

Yes I load the film holder with paper instead of negative material it is very slow though iso 2 or about.

Interesting... Is this similar to pinhole photography I guess? ISO 2 must require a very long exposure!

[mysteryscribe]

very long but not as long at f11 as at f 295 with pinhole. The outside shots I think were f16 at 4 seconds and that was because the lens I was using wasnt very versitile. It did not go below f8 f8 at one second is hard to do without shake. Easier at 4 seconds to let that little trip the shutter shake be absorbed by more light.
