or
a simple darkroom photograph
(hey guys thanks for telling me I mixed up the steps, I never noticed my error)
:)
and yes, it does go by many names I use rayograph because thats what we called them in design school.
rayograph was named after Man Ray, the dada artist who did alot of them.

This is a easy project to do(if you have a darkroom, with an enlarger and solution bath)
you take a sheet of photopaper, lay it on the enlarger.
You take the item you wish to xray(I used old film)
and you expose the image for 5 seconds.
You then take the sheet and place it in the developer solution(about 5 min), then the stop bath. then the fixer.
Hang to dry.
(sorry guys I did mix it up a bit, thanks for informing me.)

i love rayographs, great tutorial. just a quick question, do you really do developer, fixer then stop bath? i was always taught developer, stop bath, then fixer! madness!

I love these, but we always called them Photograms.
And yeah, developer 4 mins, stop 2 mins, fixer 3 mins, wash bath for 10 mins.
I think it all depends on the brand and the concentration of the solution.

It's called a photogram, not a rayograph. You also have your chemicals in the wrong order. Developer, stop bath (stops the developing process) and then fixer (makes the image permanent)

also, a little something- they can be either photograms or rayographs. i think they became rayographs after man ray used them a lot- or did i make that up?
try being a little positive once in a while! it's a good project :-)

yeah they are also called rayographs because Man Ray used them a lot, you're right Roma. Glad I got the chemicals in the right order, i was highly confused. Though we always do 3mins, 1 min, 2mins
