Line conversion film help
-
basically i’m attempting a project where i do a portrait and using the line conversion technique to create
http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00I/00IjAO-33413784.jpgi have a book and guide but its from 1984, film isnt used anymore, developer doesnt seem to exist anymore either and it was shot with large format and positive film
anyone wanna shed some light on how i can do this via 35mm bw negs?
so far the shoot will have heavy shadows and blown out highlights all over and gonna over develop the shots and use a high contrast filter, any other tips?
The easiest way seems to be playing with the curves, increasing the contrast.

so used to the photoshop… sorry… i thought, you would scan the neg, i didn’t read your question carefully
I am not sure and have no experience with this but I wonder if you could use this film;

you could shoot it with high contrast and then just find the harshest filter you can get and put it in the enlarger
Fintan’s suggestion sounds good and is worth trying. You can also get the Rollei & Maco Ortho films from http://www.macodirect.de
Over exposing the film a few stops and developing in paper developer might get you the effect your after.

I’ve never heard of this technique, but I do know if you print this on multi grade paper at grade 5 with a magenta filter you will get something pretty close to that effect. Maybe you’ve already tried that though?
two of the images taken with digi, settings replicated on film, for pp.
Halfway there.
