La_Guitarra_De_La_Diosa Test Sheet (1280x931)
Notes for process and tghoughts on future exposures....Right to left....5 sec, 8 sec, 11 sec, 14sec, 17sec, 20sec, 23 sec, 26 sec, and lastly 30 seconds, using Number 1 filter...7 seconds was used for my highlight value despite that 8 would also have been a nice place to start, I decided to split tone this print with the Number 1 filter at 7 seconds and then an additional 7 seconds using the intermediate filter to yield mid range tones for a total of 14 seconds (as seen in the test print) while maintaining the high values of 7 seconds using reciprocity concept with film for the paper emulsion because I printed using the highest c ontrast first, thus holding exposure of the highlight values last for the 7 second exposure (albe-it they also got exposed during the mid range series) (the reason Split Grade Printing even works in the first place is caused by a gradual working up of the tonal gradation) It might likely be better to only use high and low contrast filtration due to the 2 levels of light sensitivity in MG paper from Ilford...
