Topic: developing paper with wine...

[Diane Peterson]

Has anyone else watched the wee video of developing paper with wine much like developing with coffee? Pretty cool tones resulting..my question is the guy who does the video had a cool little gizmo that laid over the test exposure and told him what amount of time to expose for the particulair tones he wanted..sort of a circle with pie shape wedges with seconds attributed to each exposure amount..?? What is this thing called? I couldn't quite read what it said on the  object.

I would suspect you'd get a similar result just using the soda and ascorbic acid.  You could then drink the wine. Or if you want the added colour, use some food dye. Wine = too important to waste

Thank you Leon, I can always count on filmwasters to come to my rescue!

The cool thing about those projection print scales (that's what the Kodak version is called) is that, apart from speeding-up the print process, they show the exposure in stops (logarithmic progression).

I used one for years and was very happy with it. It's very precise, much more than the linear print tests we were thought in school.

I dunno.  If I were living in France dev'ing with coffee and printing with wine would make a lot of sense ...
