W/NW B&W Landscapes

I think you do the picture a disservice by describing it as ordinary. Perhaps it’s simple or obvious, but it’s a nice picture nonetheless. However, the do like the first and the third of this little group - they each bring something else, less obvious.
For me this is as common as a reindeer for a Scandinavian))) but a palm tree will be extraordinary for a Swede)
It’s great when everyone is different, but on the same positive semantic basis.

Yesterday. Scan from an FP4+ negative. I think I can do a better job of printing it: needs a subtle burn to balance the top left.
But I’ve never printed on multi-contrast - it became interesting, but if you wave filters under an enlarger, can you make the upper left corner more contrasting and the lower right corner low-contrast?

(yes, once again I apologize for the Google translation, but thanks to it, I remember my school knowledge of the English language.
It’s a pity, I don’t have time - I would have fully recovered in three years.)

Yes, sure you can. Not by ‘waving filters’, but by splitting the exposure into two: a high-contrast one and low-contrast one. Each filter stays in place during its exposure, but you dodge and burn during each exposure to achieve the overall effect you want. Check out the Ilfordphoto website: they have some very good videos, including this one on split-grade printing.

Some people use split-grade technique for all their printing, even when there is no advantage. I don't use it much - perhaps not as often as I should. But if you have never even used multigrade papers ... man, you have such a joy in store for you! Try it as soon as you can.

Best regards,
