  Q. Silly Idea

Asked by Andy Ly   Donor  (K=716) on 8/29/2002 
I've been thinking about a silly idea, but don't really have a completely dark room to make it happen... Perhaps it's more effective for those who use sheet film. I was thinking about rinsing the negative in water for about 5 minutes to remove the anti-halation backing. Then allowing it to dry. I wonder if it would be beneficial when shooting subjects such as street lamps during a foggy day. Has anyone tried this?

ack, I wish there was an edit option.. I mean, after the film is dry, then load it up onto the camera and shoot as normal. Only that the anti-halation backing has been washed off.

You know, that is actually kind of a fun idea. I may have to try it sometime. I have always liked the extremely antique look of the old haloed light spots. I bet TMY 400 would be a good choice, too, since it has a very heavy coating. They must put all that green coating on there for a reason. Maybe it is really critical for flare back into the film. I am not sure if getting wet would effect the film otherwise, but it is a wet layer when it is applied. Never hurts to try a couple sheets.

Andy, I don't think it is just water that removes the anti-halation backing, I think it takes actual fixer or blix if you are using color.

Sounds interesting. I'll give it a quick try tomorrow with some 4x5 Agfa 100 apx.

Ahh, Monday already? I'll have to do it next weekend.
