Hi Will,

Please excuse my late answer, I just did not see your question before 😱

Sandra, that's an explanation worthy of Tim Rudman 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to educate us with this fascinating way to print.

Had I the power to make your post a Sticky, I would.

Oh my, bet those look great in person. Left the edges of the negative in place, I love that look. Do you print RA4 at home? Color printing has always been a mystery to me.

Looks like a million bucks. You're a very good printer.

Brilliant photos, Jeromie, and superb prints. They've got that warm richness of tone that I so love. One doesn't see it all that often, even in all the prestgious exhibitions I've visited over many years in the UK and Europe.

(Incidentally, when I do see it, the critical factors seem to be the use of Dektol and the paper that best suits it that is being manufactured at the time. I remember that Agfa Portriga used to be used quite a bit in the past, and sometimes Kodak Polycontrast F.)

Thanks again.

Thanks Jeromie. The funny thing is, I like the film edge look in color, but not B&W unless it's a Type 55 negative. Yes I print RA4 at home. I use a Beseler Dichroic head and a roller to process the prints. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Do you make masks to increase local contrast within the shadow values?

Do you do dye-dodging?

Many beautiful prints here. I'm back in the darkroom as of 1 November! I can't wait to post a print or two up here.

 

[StevenJohn]

That's just cool FrankS. Damn cool.

Had a quiet, free afternoon. This is what I printed.

Really like these a lot. Well composed and very nicely printed. Keep 'em coming man.

Tanks a lot ! I'm very happy about how these turned out. The piano one gave me a little trouble because my negative is quite thin and the contrasts are huge. In these cases, the darkroom bin is my best friend. I love being in the darkroom and I'm really trying to progress (if that means anything).

From this week's loot - can you tell that I have regular access to a darkroom these days (via taking a community college class) ? 😀
