Becky, If you need to make a digital representation of your prints for on
line showing, I'd go with a standard copy set up; two light at 45 with a
polarizer on camera and lights if needed. Shot a digital capture with a
WhiBal card and correct your scene later. Base you exposure off an 18% gray
or read with a light meter with a flat diffuser and expose on manual. Lots
more but this forum seems to dislike anything digital, so.

Ps I showed some silver prints made from digital negs at eh recent Photo
Expo show in NYC. This was an attempt by a software company to show that
they do pay attention to all users, not just those make ink jet, but also a
silver and platinum printer.

I don't think I'm good at film, Bob, but thank you. :) I think I'm clumsy
and lucky. And sometimes when I'm reading everyone's posts here, I feel
like I'm reading a foreign language! The fact that the Holga is rudimentary
is probably why I like it. It's simple. You point, you shoot, you may or may
not get something you like and if you don't, it's the camera's fault. I
hadn't printed anything in a darkroom for nearly three years so that's why
I'm so excited. I'm just happy to be taking long playful chemical baths in a
darkroom again.
I smell like fixer! Yippie!
Oh, I decided to try another way of creating a digital image from film
besides scanning so I took digital photos of the darkroom prints and posted
those too. I don't like the way they look. You can see lint and the papers
texture. For the life of me I don't remember how I used to get copies of my
prints online. Maybe I just didn't care much if they looked as good as the
prints. I don't remember. But how are you all creating digital images from
your analog prints?

Hi Becky,
You're so good at film, you even imposed a handicap on yourself (the rather
rudimentary Holga) and came up with first rate B&W images. Four stars.
Best,
Bob
