Mobilelog Photography
While surfing the Internet about photography stuff, as I typically do, I ran across a company selling enlargers that use mobile phones instead of negatives.
After showing my wife this video, she said, "You could figure that out!" So, down to the basement I went, phone in one hand and a gallon of water in the other to mix chemistry. I don't have my darkroom set up right now so I put my enlarger and pans on floor and worked totally in the dark. And, what do you know? My wife was right, it wasn't hard to figure out!

Assignment
Using a nice phone image and the enlarger, print an analog black and white photo.
Step 3 |
Make your picture a negative using an app. I found the following apps.
|
Step 4 |
Remove the enlarger's negative carrier and replace it with your phone. Be sure you're image is on and that it faces the easel.
|
Step 5 |
Position the filter holder over the easel and put a scrap piece of matboard on it so it blocks all the light hitting the easel.
|
Step 6 |
Position a test strip on the easel. Instead of using the timer to turn the enlarger off and on, slide the filter holder so that you have control of the light reaching the photo paper.
