From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have an ambition to put this article on the main page. Just thought I'd say that. Cormaggio ^@ 22:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Example: X-ray

I would consider x-ray photography an excellent example of "photogrammy", where the spatial distribution of the light source is minimized to maximize the sharpness of the shadows. Couldn't this be mentioned? Mumiemonstret (talk) 17:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help

If you want to help in writing this page, please do. Another thing I would dearly love to have here is an image, or series of images (diagrams or photographs) of how this process works, ie a labelled image of an enlarger, then maybe with an image of the objects being laid out on the paper and then the finished product (photogram).

[edit] Thought

This page would be aided by linking to the page about photographic enlargers, but it is the job of that page to diagram the enlarger and this to diagram the process. One needs to remember a room lamp or the sun is adequate to produce a photogram, an enlarger is overkill for a photogram and limits the final product. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.236.146 (talk) 23:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lemons photogram

Strictly speaking this a monochrome image I don't think it was made with color film or paper. Ericd 22:04, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

I also think that there was some chemical reaction between citric acid and photographic paper that explain the white areas in the background. Ericd 22:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
