I am getting ready to enter a show for Holgas and pinhole cameras
called the Krappy Kamera show. It's an annual deal. The juror this
year is Jill Enfield.
Anyway, she wants to look at work prints, that is, prints no larger
than 8.5" x11". That makes sense to me for digital prints, but I don't
understand how it works for silver prints. I guess you could have an
8x10 work print where you were figuring out the contrast, etc, and then
make a bigger print after you figured out the contrast, but does
anybody really do that? You would have to figure out the exposure all
over again for the big print, unless you had figured out ahead of time
that the exposure for an 11x14 print is always x times the exposure for
an 8x10 print.
I have never learned this way of working. It's a different work flow.
Does anybody on this list do that?
I can make some "work prints" to send to this show. That's not a
problem. But I'm wondering: is this a more efficient way to work than
starting at the size you really want, with test strips, etc?
