Orchid Print - Studio
The orchid is backlit by a softbox acting as a scrim - a snoot is providing additional light on the center of the main orchid.
Toyo 45G View Camera Fujinon A 240mm f/9. Ilford FP4+ @125. 1/60 sec f/16 ASA 125.
Standard development in Ilfosol-3 @1:9 dilution.
Printed on Ilford MG Fiber Classic - Glossy. Ilford MG Developer @1+9. Six seconds exposure with dodging of the central petals and 3 seconds burning of the leaves and stem.
Despite taking all of the expected measures, my developing time for this contact print was uncomfortably fast. I have ordered some silver chloride photo paper, which is much slower, and I may experiment with one of the old school developers...
