Analog pictures help!

June 15th, 2012
Hi,

I found out that somehow, I managed to loose a film.
Now I have to pick some pictures for a little exposition of our ''photography academy'' and I was wondering if it's possible to make pictures not from the film itself, but from the picture that is already developed...
Unfortunately it's a small format 10x10, but how much bigger is it possible to make the new picture from that small one?


Thanks for any anwser!

So you have a small print of the picture? If so, you can scan it, or rephotograph it? Then you have another copy to print again but it wont be brilliant. Sorry you lost your film tho.

so you lost the negs and just have the print. I scan on my HP and they look good at around 10x10 - do you mean inches? and I scan from 6x5 prints, old stuff. Answer is how good is your printer, and how clear do they need to be, but if its your only option then what else can you do?

Yes i lost the negative, but it's 10x10 cm. the smallest format ://
But is it even possible to make it at for example 30x30 format without the new picture looking weird?

no, the new picture will look pretty off, not its best. Can you not arrange the 10/10 prints in some kind of arty arrangement? Make a collage to fit the 30/30 size.

It's that one, it never started to look boring for me:


I cant imagine to make a collage from it

so you have scanned it...so just stretch it to the size on your screen Barb - and see how crazy it looks. it is a super nice pic. I thought maybe you had a collection you could arrange.

it looks okay a bit bigger. Just print it and see. ;)

@chewyteeth Thanks Dave. I absolutely forgot I got that negative scanned, because im not usually doing it. Im gonna make it a little smaller and I hope it's gonna look ok. I appreciate your help :)
