How the photos are made

Using black and white film requires some old technology. I use the steel containers with metal reels.
Once the film is developed its ready to be enlarged. Below are the developed negatives.

The enlarger I use is a 1940s model Federal 269. It projects large formate images onto photographic paper and enlarges the image to a print.


The prints are now on paper. They can also be scanned and loaded digitally like the ones posted on this page.


This photo was taken using the vintage Kodak Six-20 camera. I used color film for this photo. Its a little out of focus and off angle but a great example of how these old cameras can capture the image. 


I look forward to posting more photo using my vintage cameras and developing. Stay tuned for more.
