Magnetic sheets: great for sticking thin metal dies to for storage.

Magnetic photo paper: terrible for sticking thin metal dies to for storage. They just aren't magnetic enough. They are barely magnetic enough to stick to the refridgerator.

However, I think they will do excellently for #FluidArt, whether that be #AcrylicPouring or #AlcoholInk, because they are basically plastic paper. So that's something new for me to try.

Like my previous post, this photo was taken with an #Ikonta 520/15 directly onto photo paper (format 65x90mm) late at night.

This photo was taken with an aperture time of approximately 2 minutes.

The photo was developed with #caffenol.
The change from negative to positive was done on a computer.
The contrast and brightness of this image have been adjusted to compensate for underexposure.

Photo taken with an #Ikonta 520/15 directly onto photo paper (format 65x90mm) mid-afternoon last month.
This camera uses 616 film, which has long been discontinued.

The Ikonta 520/15 is equipped with a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens and a Compur shutter which are quite good for their age.

The photo was developed with #caffenol

I miss having a darkroom at home. I miss being able to afford to shoot film.
