As I mentioned a few days ago, I am currently looking into the production of ferric oxalate, not because I am dissatisfied with Bostick&Sullivan's product, but merely out of a thirst for knowledge.

I do not know the recipe of B&S, presumably it is iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid.

In my first attempt I followed the recipe of Pizzighelli and Hübl (ferric hydrate and oxalic acid). An interesting alternative, but time-consuming.

In the second attempt, it was iron(III)-nitrate and oxalic acid. The time required is similar, but with fewer steps.

The substance is not clearly defined, which makes it difficult to determine the exact content of oxalate solutions. The prevailing opinion is that the solution for the platinum process should contain 27% iron(III)-oxalate, for the Kallitypy 20%.

For practical purposes, the determination method using the specific gravity is sufficiently accurate, although any free oxalic acid present cannot be determined.

For the Kallitype, a specific gravity of 1.13 results in a solution of about 20%; for the comparison of the mode of action, the three oxalate solutions were brought to exactly this value. The measurement of the pH value showed clear deviations between the (acidic) solutions, which indicates different contents of free oxalic acid.

Wie schon vor einigen Tagen erwähnt, beschäftige ich mich momentan mit der Herstellung von Eisen(III)-Oxalat, nicht weil ich mit dem Produkt von Bostick&Sullivan unzufrieden wäre, sondern lediglich aus Wissensdrang.

Die Rezeptur von B&S ist mir nicht bekannt, vermutlich handelt es sich um Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure.

Bei meinem ersten Versuch bin ich nach der Rezeptur von Pizzighelli und Hübl (Eisen(III)-Hydrat und Oxalsäure) vorgegangen. Eine interessante Alternative, doch der Zeitaufwand ist hoch.

Beim zweiten Versuch waren es Eisen(III)-Nitrat und Oxalsäure. Der zeitliche Aufwand ist ähnlich hoch, allerdings bei weniger Arbeitsschritten.

Die Substanz ist nicht klar definiert, was es schwierig macht, den exakten Gehalt von Oxalat-Lösungen zu bestimmen. Nach vorherrschender Auffassung sollte die Lösung für den Platinprozeß 27% Eisen(III)-Oxalat enthalten, für die Kallitypie 20%.

Für die Praxis ist die Bestimmungsmethode über das spezifische Gewicht hinreichend genau, wobei allerdings ein eventuell vorhandener Anteil an freier Oxalsäure nicht festgestellt werden kann.

Für die Kallitype ergibt sich bei einem spezifischen Gewicht von 1.13 eine etwa 20% Lösung, für den Vergleich der Wirkungsweise wurden die drei Oxalatlösungen auf exakt diesen Wert gebracht. Die Messung des pH-Wertes zeigte deutliche Abweichungen zwischen den (sauren) Lösungen, was auf unterschiedlichen Gehalt an freier Oxalsäure hindeutet.

In 1835, Berwick was told that its prison in the Town Hall was unsuitable and needed to be replaced. It took sometime to find a site, agree on plans and raise the money to do this. However, this project finally came to fruition with the opening of this building in Wallace Green in 1849 as a Prison. It's history as a prison was relatively short lived as it closed in 1878. However, having cost so much to build, a new use had to be found for it. Initially it was used as a Court house and by Berwick's Police Force, but then in the early 1890s it was purchased by Berwick's

Urban Sanitary Authority, it was converted to office

accommodation and stables were built on the back of the site. A plaque above the main door commemorates the completion of this work in 1892. From then until 2009, the building was used a Council administrative buildings, being eventually sold after 2015 to a local developer, who has converted it to four properties, retaining many of its original features, including some of the prison cells on the top floor.

It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

Quality control is carried out after each production of ferric oxalate. I do not rely on the test for residual iron II salt, only the result after printing is really relevant.

Because different developers have their own characteristics in terms of maximum blackening, colour and susceptibility to fogging, I allow myself the pleasure of playing with developers.

Very happy with the results from using Perceptol as the film developer. Was able to get almost no grain and high sharpness on my 35mm SLR. Great for printing large.

Before I give the credits to the developer let me first apologize to those who have followed me up to this point. my activity in the last 6 months has been minimal due to a horrible laptop. the other day I fixed that in buying myself a new computer, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to take more ambitious photography than ever. my inactivity got me unfollowed by countless members, and banned from multiple groups, so you can imagine I wont be doing that again :)

 

This lovely landscape was on my list for some time, I had seen it briefly on my old computer but there was no hope of capturing it before. not quite the WL I was looking for, but all my choice WL's are saved on my other computer. (side not if anyone knows how to convert a WL to file and transfer it, paint me interested and in turn, my windlights would be up for grabs to anyone interested.) I'll certainly have to be back or to one of their many other, equally beautiful sims when I get my WL's sorted.

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.

One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.

For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

"Cautley Spout is England's highest (cascade) waterfall above ground. (Gaping Gill on Ingleborough falls a greater unbroken distance into a pothole, and Hardraw Force has a greater unbroken fall above ground). The broken cascade of falls tumbles a total of [nearly 200m] down a cliff face at the head of a wild and bleak glacial valley that comes down from a high plateau called The Calf. [...] This fall is one of the few cascade falls in England; most are either tiered or plunge falls." (Wikipedia)

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.

Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

Every time I come to San Francisco, there is some kind of smart-ass billboard along the highway ... "ask your developer," it says.

 

Ask her what? Whether Twilio is better than some other provider? Whether the cloud is here to stay? Who comes up with these crazy signs?

 

Fortunately, it doesn't matter very much ... by the time I come back again, this billboard will have been replaced by something else just as mysterious.

************************

 

In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.

 

I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…
