Urine as a developer

<p>I did it after a few false starts I got an image from my morning urine at 30c with some Vitamin C mixed in 500 mg I used Rollei 80s shot at ISO 6 through 100 but this was the ISO 6 2 hours semi stand. agitation for one minute every 10 minutes. for the 2 hours.<br>

<p>Well, the IQ sucks, but it worked. I wonder what would happen if you added a carbonate or borax to make it alkaline.</p>

 

<p>I added a little borax to it a little pissing buffer. but only a little. that is in the details in the flickr info.</p>

<p>Can't tell if that's grain or kidney stones, Larry. Either way... awesome. Made my day!</p>

<p>Thanks Lex eccentric I may be but I do hope that normal people may have fun understanding me at times and smile. Oh never had stones as I have a great diet.... :)</p>

<p>Larry, that probably gets you the prize for dedication;<br>

but, really, you don't have to do this in the future. </p>

<p>I don't want to know what you've got to do to push or pull the film.<br>

Are you sure that this whole venture wasn't riding on just the ascorbic <br>

from the Vitamin C?</p>

<p>Well no as I had some with just borax and my piss without the Asorbic acid that produced an image it just took 4 hours.</p>

<p>I love it....that's what I call recycling.</p>

<p>green photography?</p>

<p>Pee-cycling. It's only the yellow half of green, Larry.</p>

<p>Larry. Your piss is sitting in the developing tank for hours. Don't you think it might be nice to try another option? Why don't you make some film emulsion instead?</p>

<p>Well I thought of making one that works with piss better but I have to try all those already out there and the lighting to get to that point. :)</p>

<p>I tried it and for some reason it always worked better on Saturday after a Friday night out on the beer.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Yes because you dehydrated and it concentrated your urine.. that is why I used morning urine as it is the most concentrated. though I work night shift I called it morning urine as I awoke at about 12-2 pm</p>

<p>Interesting results. Replenishment should be easy enough. </p>

<p>Louis I thought about that using reduction or distillation.</p>

<p>So did you use vinegar as stop bath?</p>

<p>No I used water as a stop</p>

<p>I can think of a few weddings I wish I had developed like this ..</p>

<p>I really really would have loved to have pissed in the film tank and even thought of it a few times but have to admit I was not thinking development</p>

<p>BTW ..piss funny thread</p>

<p>If not exactly piss poor, urine trouble none the less. I'm guessing you're a real whiz at developing? I've heard of the "golden hour" but this is the first golden shower I've seen in film.</p>

<p>I've thought about doing the coffee developer route, but given how much coffee I drink, well, you follow my thought.</p>

<p>At least it only cost a piddling amount.</p>

<p>Well, that solves one problem when HC110 is OOB, now what shall we use for film?</p>

<p>"...now what shall we use for film?"</p>

<p>If it involves more bodily effluent, I don't want to know.</p>

<p>Lex I will try to avoid using any more body fluids. As a mater of fact I think I am done with this experiment as it gave piss poor results and I did it just to see if I could do it. :)</p>

<p>If one eating pears or beans the traces of Boron helps goose the film speed.</p>

<p>It'll be worse than bodily fluids. It'll be silver nitrate mixed with egg white slapped onto a roughed up piece of plastic. Then immerse that it a pot of piss for four hours. Oh, yes, I'm sure it'll smell great.</p>

<p>Kodak Father, Thou Art in Rochesta'. Please keep making some kind of any kind of film, we bless ya'.</p>
