The Elegant Corpse
The name of a game developed by the Surrealists, where one artist makes an image that works as the starting point for another work by the next artist on the list. Found out about it on this web site wecantpaint.com/

Printmaking in the Sun III - Making and Printing Intaglio Plate
Can find double exposure technique (preferred for Intaglio) can be very senseitive to changes in exposure time so test strips vital. Initially try and keep exposure times for screen and transparency the same but can vary to create different effects.
Transparency and screen must sit flush so cut away any excess so that they are smaller than the solarplate. (Aquatint screen is expensive!) Also eliminate any warped edges.
Prepare developing tray, no hotter than 78F.
Suggest using screens generated by software from Linotype Hell. (cannot find such software)
Aiming to creat shallow grooves for intaglio so 1-2 mins for washing. With experience can see grooves forming while washing. Give plate final rinse, blot, hair dry, post-expose in sun for 5-20 mins. Can leave for up to a couple of hours.
To test pressure and alignment of plate use uninked plate covered with blotting paper to evaluate impression.
Cover plate with ink using scraper, work into grooves. Work ink into plate with used tarlatan, constantly wiping the surface of the plate with circular motion. Once most of the ink is removed you can continue with clean tarlatan. Finally use old telephone book paper to use flat of hand to give final wipe.
Registration sheet: Mark outline of paper on newsprint and mark where you want image to appear, then place on bed of printer under solarplate (?).
Paper should be slightly damp but not too much so. No surface sheen. Can soak half the paper the day before then store in plastic bag interleaved with dry sheets, following day all will be damp.
Can vary the relative times for screen and transparency. More time for the screen will give darker more contrasty image, less will give lighter image with more midtone.

Printmaking in the Sun II - Exposure
Apart from solar, which is variable throughout the day and throughout the year, can use artificial sources such as metal halide units. Also might keep an eye out for vacuum frames and process cameras. Google metal halide units in the Uk and not a bad selection.
Exposing in the Sun
Solarplates are most sensitive to a range of UV light varying between 350 nm and 370 nm, with a peak at 360 nm. Soalrplates also have a 'wide latitude of exposure', which means that the polymer is insensitive to small variations in intensity of UV light, so light cloud variation not a problem.
Best to expose on sunny days or days with constant cloud cover. Expose from late morning to mid-afternoon when the UV intesity is least variable for more control. Outside of these times the intensity is changing rapidly, so by the time you have made a test strip, the intensity of the light may well have changed.
In very hot weather the plates can become very sticky, and can harden without an image forming in extreme hot weather. With experience you can estimate exposure times accurately despite daily and seasonal cycles. Exposure times can vary from as little as 30secs in mid-summer, to 30 mins in midwinter, depending on where you live. Use test strips!
The Stouffer Wedge is a small grayscale transparency available from photographic suppliers. We use 21-step wedge. To use it cut a small strip of solar plate slightly larger than the wedge, remove the cover film and dust the strip with talc. Expose the wedge for a given time (use non-emulsion side to contact the plate). Expose for, say, 2.5 minutes and develop for a fixed time as well, say 3 minutes. Examine the strip to take a reading.
Under the most opaque steps of the wedge the polymer will completely wash away; under the lightest steps the polymer will harden; while several steps in the middle will only partially wash away. Observe that the numbers 2 to 21 will form in relief, keeping mind that they will form in reverse if you keep emulsion side up). For a reading all hardened or partially hardened segments are counted as solid and the highest numbered step that remains solid provides the reading. E.g. if you find that 2-9 are solid, 10-11 are partial, and 12-20 are completely washed away then 11 is the reading. We have found that best results for drawings and photocopies is a range between 9-11, while opaque film, such as laser and photographic transparencies will work well in a range of 12-14.
Exposing Indoors
Sunlamps, because of their shape, can expose plates unevenly, though can be useful for small plates. (what is small?)

Sunlamps, because of their shape, can expose plates unevenly, though can be useful for small plates. (what is small?)
Making your own lightbox for 12x16" plates:
- 14x18" board, 0.75" thick
- six 24" standard strip light fittings
- six 20W blacklight UV lamps (360nm)
- screws
- switch
- blackout lining fabric
- Pack together lights on board fairly firmly
- Make sure they are oriented the same way so electrical fitting are at the same end
Can balance the board on bricks. Ideal height from plate to lights is about 8". In this setup around 1 min for screen and 1 min for transparency are good starting points. Corresponding grayscale reading is 11. Artificial lights can lose power after many hours of use.
Problem solving
Poor contact in contact frame arising from poor technique in cutting plates, can result in patchy and faded images. If there is any warping the film will not sit flat against plate.
Can also encounter poor contact if transparency is glass or thick film, or film with thick application of drawing media. Also don't want transparency larger than the plate.
Largest size of plate you want to work with is 16x20", start small.
Commercial units
Need a timer.
A good commercial unit will have metal halide lamp, vacuum frame and can handle larger plates.
Vacuum can cause problems if seal is weak. Can also cause air bubbles in transparency/plate contact. Use roller to remove them.

Notes on "Printmaking in the Sun" - I
Some notes from the book by Dan Welden and Pauline Muir.
Digital Images and Photogravure
Digital images are printed on to transparencies as halftone images before transferring to a solar plate. The clarity and definition of a halftone image is called the resolution. The resolution is measured by the number of dpi or lpi. In commercial printing the resolution is usually described in terms of lpi. E.g. newspaper images are printed at 85-100 lpi, while high quality magazines usually have a screen ruling of 150-175 lpi.
Making a relief digital plate is very similar to other relief plates, but requires extra care in development and printing. Because of the very fine dot structure of the plate you have to wash away the residue very thoroughly without dislodging any small printing elements. When printing, apply ink in very thin layers with a good quality medium roller in order to avoid filling in the tiny cells in the polymer. Plates made with film with a screen ruling greater than 110 lpi become increasingly difficult to print since the plate filles with ink often after only one or two impressions. Manual presses and rollers are not sensitive enough for such fine plates.
For an intaglio print you require a positive halftone film. For the best results always print out images on a printer at 600 dpi or at the highest resolution available. You can also rework the image by scratching and sanding the toner, by drawing, and by adding solvents. Making and printing an intaglio digital plate is the same as for other intaglio plates. You can use either the single exposure or double exposure technique for making plates, but the double exposure technique will minimise the dot structure for images printed froma personal printer. When printing, experiment with different inks, the consistency of the inl, and the dampness of the paper, as for any intaglio plate. In general, digital intaglio images print darker than the original screen image and you can compensate for this by reducing the darkness of the original by up to 10%, but you may need to do a number of tests to reach the desired effect.
If you are planning to make mulit-plate colour images, you have to consider the screen angle. The screen angle is the angle at which the grid of dots on a conventional halftone film is printed. For a single b&w image the grid is aligned at 45 deg to the horizontal. If you are making a two-plate print the second transparency must have a different screen angle to avoid generating moire patterns that superimpose and interfere with the final printed image. For example, for a two-plate print, the grid of dots of the film representing one colour is printed at a 45 deg angle, while for the second colour, the grid is printed at a 15 deg angle.
Photopolymer gravure
Trad photogravure attributed to Viennese printer Karl Klic in 1878.
A continuous-tone film positive is usually more opaque than a digital or copy machine transparency and allows the film to withstand a longer exposure time to UV light. It also eliminates undercutting, the problem of UV light diffusing under the opaque film, which results in a lighter image and/or softer images, and appears in prints when using 'thinner' or less opaque transparencies.
Solar plates, by their very nature, tend to create an image with a higher contrast than trad copperplate gravure. You can manipulate the development of the film positive to maximise the tonal range. This will minimise a high contrast image on the solar plate.
Another consideration is the density (how opaque or transparent) of your film positive which determines the exposure time of a solarplate: the less opaque the positive, the less time required. The density can be measured with a transmission densitometer, and film positives need to be in the range of .55, to achieve the greatest details in highlights, and 1.40, to retain shadow detail.
Make a solarplate using the double exposure technique, and do test exposures for each film positive, since each positive will have a varying degree of opacity. For example, test exposure times can vary by as little as ten seconds and make a difference to the highlights and shadow regions of the image. (not clear if this under the sun or using UV box)
Proofing and editioning a photopolymer gravure plate is a more delicate operation than printing other intaglio solarplates. To capture maximum detail and tone only use printing papers with a fine texture and smooth surface. Soak sheets for a minimum of 25 minutes for even hydration and flexibility, and print when the paper is fairly damp. Experiment with the opacity of the ink by adding transparent base, and add #1 lithographic varnish to loosen the ink. When working with tarlatan and newsprint, always wipe from light regions towards the darkest areas. If necessary, hand-wipe to define details and brighten the image. For printing use three blankets, but you may find with an additional sizing catcher and greater pressure you can capture the finest detail.

Next Level
Next Level is a magazine that I subscribe to. Originally attracted by the high production values I am now starting to question its approach. It is no longer clear to me that they seek to make the images the main focus of the magazine, instead giving more space to the accompanying writing and loads of white space. Images can get split across the central spine, and always lack captions even where, in one recent case, the artist's captions were described as essential to the presentation. I guess I am seeing the typical magazine editor's take that the magazine's format and design is more important than the content. It is all getting irritating - I shall not renew I think.

Photo Projects - plan and publish your photography by Chris Dickie
Got the book out of the library and have to return it, so I thought I would make a few notes.
Intro
Intro
- Passion for the subject is important to keep you going through the dark times!
- A project that provides a coherent body of work gives your images meaning. It is not enough to make one-off pretty pictures.
A little self-discipline
Embarking upon a photographic project with specific objectives is a very satisfying way of developing your own photographic practice
- Need to stay focused, provide a long term objective and a means to an end.
- Simple ideas are normally the best.
- Seek to establish a consistent visual language which will lend coherence to the images
Let me tell you a story
A project provides an excellent framework for you to develop your visual communication skills and a way of speaking photographically.
- It is all about communication and the development of a personal visual language
- The visual language needs to sit on top of the content in a satisfactory way.
- While the natural home for the would seem to be a book, exhibitions provide additional opportunities to market and sell. Make use of that.
Determination to succeed
The first step is to identify an original and worthwhile theme, then comes the tricky business of sticking with it through thick and thin.
- Can be a lot of costs involved depending on the scale of the project.
- Working through funding bodies can be challenging.
School days and beyond
Projects are considered an important part of photography education, underlining their contribution to every photographer's development.
- At post grad level almost certainly be fully project based, requiring the setting of objectives and terms of reference by the individual photographer
What floats your boat?
There is no set way to approach a photographic project - the only criterion should be that you choose a subject that interest you.
- What is important is to have an abiding interest in the subject, a passion that will drive you to explore a subject or issue in the deepest, most thorough manner.
- What cannot be passed on is the instinctive curiosity and fascination, the passionate interest and lateral approach needed to get to the soul of a subject.
- The project needs a story, to have some form of exploration, the objective to reveal something new.
- Several projects features in the book do not tell a story as such, but careful attention to approach, style, lighting, composition and process results in a coherent body of work which is revealing of its subject and of the photographer's relationship to it.
- Keep it simple - pare your idea down to its essence
- Consider carefully "Is my idea truly suited to photography?"
- Choose a subject that intrigues you and about which you want to discover more
- Set yourself a plan of action to provide a framework for the project
- Persevere: stick with it and negotiate setbacks or problems as they arise
- Don't be put off if the project, or the way you are approaching it, changes en route; this is part of the process of discovery.
Mission control
Settling on a plan of action will provide something to measure progress against and it is also the first step towards calculating your budget.
- Take time out to write down your plan of action as a set of bullet points. This way you can be sure your objectives are clear
- This list can then form the basis for any written application for support or sponsorship
- Similarly, you will be able to articulate your intentions when speaking about the work and your ambitions for it.
A question of scale
Early in the planning process you need to get a grip on the scale of the project - how long and how much will it take to complete.
- Without a clear idea of the scale of what you propose, you are not in a good position to plan it
- Scale affects to important factors of time and money
- Your time may be your own, but deadlines loom if there is an exhibition or publication on the cards.
The need to count the cost
Books and exhibitions don't grow on trees - a professional approach to budgeting is an essential part of your project plan
- If you don't ask you won't get. Try your regular suppliers - retailer, hire shop, processing lab - or film and paper manufacturers, to see if they are prepared to support your project. Even if they are unable to provide free materials or services, they may be prepared to give you a discount.
- Having an exhibition or publication lined up will improve your chances of obtaining commercial support, because of the publicity you can offer supporters
- Take time over promoting your exhibition, there are plenty of publications crying out for material to fill their listings pages.
Some potential cost headings to look at:
- Exhibiting: Venue hire. Also look at lower profile venues such as bars and restaurants
- Exhibiting: Print making
- Exhibiting: Mattes and framing
- Exhibiting: Press release publicity
- Exhibiting: Poster production
- Exhibiting: Invitation design
- Exhibiting: Private view hospitality
- Exhibiting: Transporting the work between venues
- Exhibiting: Printer and poster sales commission going to the gallery
- Exhibiting: Catalogues and books sales, commission going to the gallery
- Book production: Pre-press (do yourself?)
- Book production: Print, inclusing paper and binding
- Book production: Commission on distribution
- Book production: Marketing and advertising
- Book production: Mailing costs if selling on-line
- Book production: PR, free copies of books, press releases
Put your best foot forward
Getting your work published or hung on a gallery wall involves the sales process: here image selection and presentation are paramount
- Don't let all your hard work down by poor presentation
- Don't include too many images in an initial submission - it's off-putting
- Target the selected portfolio carefully at the person who is going to view it
- If in doubt, leave it out
- Prints of manageable size are the easiest and most effective way to show your work
- A CD presentation of your work is a useful and inexpensive adjunct to the print portfolio
- A personal visit to a prospect allows you to work wonders with your sales technique, but it's not always possible . . .
- . . . which means that a portfolio pack that you mail must be effective and professional
- Don't take 'no' as a personal affront - finding out why will help you in the future.
Hold the front page
Even before the project is completed there could be opportunities to get some of the work published, thus raising its profile and yours, too
- For obvious reasons photography magazines present the best market for your work, and one you are likely to be familiar with. Research the market! See The Freelance Photographer's Handbook published annually by the Bureau of Freelance Photographers (BFP) - www.thebfp.com
- Don't limit your ambitions to full blown portfolio-style coverage. While that's very nice and will polish your ego, you can benefit from and capitalise on any form of publication for the work.
- Don't be precious about your work being used outside of its intended context
- All publicity is good publicity
- A feature package of words and pictures will always be more saleable than the pictures on their own.
- Photography magazines are hungry for images, but much the greater number of images are used to illustrate 'how-to' techniques.
- Gauge a level of interest with an initial email. Follow up submission should include CD and prints.
Aim for the hall of fame
Don't overlook awards that offer the potential for free publicity, an exhibition, publications in an awards book - even prize money.
- Only enter your work if it fulfils the brief properly
- Don't overlook the small print
- Exploit to the full any success in your CV and marketing
- Some competitions offer bursaries that might fund your project
Working with printers
- First find your printer. Possible use the services of a print broker (Google the term).
- Check they are set up to tackle your job - do they have the right sized presses to print the size your require?; are they equipped to do the finishing and binding?
- Visit the printer in person
- You will need to provide a detailed spec . . .
- It is vital that you supply your image files in the correct colour format. An RGB image will print in greyscale
- Once you have placed an image on the page don't go back and resize it. It won't change the way it looks in the document but it will when it is printed.
- If you have to resize, redo the layout too with the new file
- Throw away any old image files that have been superseded, so they don't get used by accident
- When printing in duotone, add the Pantone grey ink to your software colour palette and remember that it and black are the only two colours you have to work with in the rest of your design
Someone to share the bill
Funding bodies and awards schemes exist to help in the pursuit and publishing of arts projects
- Arts Council - check the websites
- 'Prizes and Awards' published by Dewi Lewis (dewilewispublishing.com)
- Securing an exhibition venue - and ideally a series of venues - is key to obtaining funding support.
- If you can get a funded gallery interested in showing your work, this will pay dividends when applying funding yourself as the gallery will be experienced in dealing with funding bodies and know who best to approach
- If your project is deserving of support from the arts funding budget of your local or regional authority, this is the first place to look. Grants may be modest, but such support provides a lot of leverage when approaching one of the bigger agencies later on.
Self publishing
Want the job done properly? Do it yourself!
- The book of the show. An exhibition provides the perfect excuse for you to burst into print
- Short run strategies - the hand-made artist's book is now joined by digital "on-demand" print services
- Publish on the internet

Landscape tips from Digital Photo
Pretty basic stuff from Digital Photo mag but I thought I would log it as a reminder. Don't take many landscapes.
- Balance the land and sky EV. Pretty straightforward in LR. Use Levels targetted at each area in PS. Also warm up colours (in PS shift midtone slider on red channel slightly).
- Replace bland sky. Make sure sky is lit in same way as foreground. For straightforward sky, select with Magic Wand, increase selection with Select>Modify>Expand> 1 pixel. Delete old sky, drop in new sky. Use soft edged blur brush on join, then small Layer>Matting>Defringe.
- Alternative for complex skylines. Drop in new sky, change blending mode (Hard Light, Multiply, Overlay . . .) then apply layer mask by painting in black over land part, reducing size and opacity as you get nearer to join.
- Convert to mono, can afford much higher contrasts here. Convert to Sepia.
- Arty. Apply Gradient Map to image as an adjustment layer. Tick Preview. Make sure Foreground to Background and Solids are selected under Presets. Double click on Colour Stop slider to select colour for shadows and do the same for highlights to get another colour. Blend adjustment layer to taste when done. Apply dodging and burning to taste. Try a blurred vignette.

VECC 2009 results
So these four images were accepted for the Vale of Evesham Camera Club exhibition, out of ten I submitted. Interesting that two out of the three I submitted to Basingstoke did not make it here, neither did the surfboarder landscape that got a 10 at the last club print comp. Peter E did not like the border on the wood image so it has to go!
