Users of photograms?
Photograms were carried out in the 20th century by a number of photographers, particularly Man Ray, who called them "rayographs". one of his example images is the image in the middle my gallery. As you can see there are a cup, ruler and a strip of film.
But there are some other user As Well such as Laszlo Moholy Nagy he did not use the term "Rayograms" only photograms
objects used.
many random objects have been used like pieces of film, scissors, tape, pictures.
I had also noticed that Laszlo Moholy Nagy used a lot of metal objects compared to Man rays' random selection of objects.

My experience...
Well it was the first time doing it all we had to do was get some photo paper and place objects on to it.
which where spread out evenly then we will use a device which projected light on to a platform there would be a red filter for it to be safe. once you have your paper with the objects on under there red light remove it then leave it for 4-6 seconds then slide the filter back on, you should then remove the objects from the paper then place it into the developing mixture for 2 minutes then you must put it on to a stop for 1 minute and last but not lease the fix for two then rinse you should get an image with your objects in white and its surrounding is black
WWW: EBI: If i managed to get the frame of the light to the point
i managed to get some good images where it covered the paper correctly the first time.
and you could see the objects that i used
very clearly.
