Anyone got much experience with photogram? I wanna go back to basic and do some photograms, it's been years since I did it. I wanna "capture" the sunrise using this method, my original thought was to leave the photo paper out in the garden before I go to bed (it's very dark out there once all neighbours have gone to bed) and collect the paper about a few mins after the sunrise begins etc, but my fear is that the moonlight and stars (if any) would already be bright enough to overly expose the paper during the night. I am planning to use the Kodak Ultra Endura colour paper.
Plan B is to go leave the paper out just before sunrise and leave it there for a few mins, but I am not sure how long should that be.
It's been done very successfully by the documentary duo Olli and Adam, they exposed their paper in board day light for 20 seconds and the result is beautiful.
The only problem I am facing is the size I wanna make it (about 30" by a few meters) and the limited access I have to a darkroom to develop and fix the paper, so I don't have much room to play with it and see what happens.
Any thought apart from telling me that I am mad?
