\"Edge<\/a>I keep harping on the same old line, but it is true that everyone has their own way of doing things and I am no different.\u00a0 But it seems that I continue to get questions about how we work.\u00a0 There seems to be a misconception that when you contact print that Burning and Dodging (B&D) are not possible.\u00a0 That is 100% malarkey!\u00a0\u00a0 Whether you use a spring back or vacuum frame, the image on the negative is visible against the white printing paper.\u00a0\u00a0 Burning and dodging is exactly the same as enlarging.<\/p>\n

Now having dispelled the myth about contact printing, and understanding things work the same, I find there are two B&D tools I use all the time.\u00a0 Yes, there are times you will have to cut strange shapes to make a particular B&D tool for a certain image.\u00a0 No matter what special shapes I may need, I find two shapes that are universally used most of the time.<\/p>\n

By far my most used B&D shape is a rectangular piece of mat board.\u00a0 I use this for edges, sides and most any other large areas.\u00a0 The second most used B&D shape is a specially modified rectangle for edge burning.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I seem to forever need to burn all four edges of most prints and why burn each edge one at a time?\u00a0 I cut a piece of mat board smaller in both dimensions than the print I am making.\u00a0 Then I cut off all four corners at a 45 degree angle.\u00a0 This is my Edge B&D tool and it sees a lot of use.\u00a0 I can burn all four sides of a print in one exposure.\u00a0 The farther you hold the tool from the print, the larger the area that is held back.\u00a0 Moving the Edge B&D card either in a slow circular motion, or moving slowly up and down, yields a nice even edge burning all the way around the print.<\/p>\n

I mostly print 8×10 and 11×14 negatives, and I mostly contact print, so I have two Edge B&D cards for those size prints.\u00a0\u00a0 I use a custom handle to hold dodging shapes fashioned after Fred Picker\u2019s Lawton Dodger.\u00a0 Most of the time, I have my Edge B&D card taped to my dodger.<\/p>\n

This is something to think about and may work as well for you as it has for me.\u00a0 And, this is not just for contact printing.\u00a0 It works equally well for enlarging.\u00a0 Try making your own Edge B&D card, you may like using it!<\/p>\n
