Enlarger. In college this evening we made Photograms (pic to the left) using an enlarger to make images of items that we all fetched in. I brought in a pair of sunglasses and a Ipod. We set the aperture to 50% and exposed each item to about 8sec of light. The items we place on top of Light Sensitive Paper in the darkroom. We then developed the images using Developer, Stop Bath, Fixer and Water Bath. We transferred the paper between each tray with tongs not to get any of the chemicals onto our skin. We then dried the paper using a dryer. This was made famous by Henry Fox Talbot who experimented by making botanical specimens and lace on top of light sensitive materials in a painting frame, exposing this to light and then washing out the unexposed light sensitive material.
