Gatekeeper butterfly visiting a large daisy for some nectar. This was by the new pond at Gloucester Park which was put in by the developers when the built houses over the site of the old boating lake. I have to say they have done a pretty good job of it. There are lots of wild flowers and reeds growing around it and it's a great place to see insects.
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.

The Gruffy, Sanderstead is a small park with a pond and a few benches. It sits at the top of Sanderstead Hill, between the main Limpsfield road and All Saints church.
From www.croydon.gov.uk/libraries-leisure-and-culture/parks-an...:
The area around the pond and church once constituted Sanderstead Village, until in 1799 the squire added the village green to his park, a process of enclosure that went on in Sanderstead during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
In 1958‐60 Sanderstead Archaeological Group excavated in the vicinity of the pond and found traces of a 17th century lodge‐house and further digging revealed the presence of man as far back as the Mesolithic Period, nearly 12000 years ago. Pottery fragments dated between 100 AD ‐ 1300 AD, a bronze belt‐end of saxon era was also found.

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.

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…
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.

My plans around Watford rapidly changed when I visited Cassiobury Park and discovered they were in the process of moving a few dinosaurs around. You know how it goes.
This was a grab shot through the car window before I parked up properly and shows a Triceratops, or at least a Homo sapiens interpretation of it, being transported in the park.
I now know that it forms part of 'Jurassic Encounters' which consists of around 50 automated dinosaurs that move their jaw and limbs and growl - it lasts from 2nd to 18th April 2022.
Despite the event name, the Triceratops did not roam the planet in the Jurassic era, coming much later in the Late Cretaceous period, and only existed about two million years prior to the Mass Extinction.

Concerned that this was my first plate after heavy silver bath maintenance. Sure no pinholes but despite a ton of filtering there are small specs all over if you look close on the scan.
Also concerned about the solvent streaks. I bet it was just too cold for any of the alcohol in the bath to actually evaporate. I even added less alcohol and acid to my developer than usual.
