B calotype

Reflective scan of pelegry process calotype

 

Paper is Canson Vidalon Vellum, my favorite, but I do love the texture of Bienfang.

 

No whey in iodizer, just lactose.

 

Sensitized March 11th, exposed March 18th and developed March 26th

 

Exposure was 25s at F4.7 on a very sunny day at around 4pm. I didn't have an exposure meter handy.

 

The negative was taken with a Speed Graphic 4x5.

 

The marks on the shirt collar area probably came from my attempt to hold down the curling paper with plastic knives -- now I hold down all four corners with my fingers until the paper relaxes. The think the two spots were stains that came from using old blotter paper.
