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.

On the left, Ockre developer (rochelle salt/tungstate mixture) untoned.
On the right, short gold toning with the aim of achieving a cool highlight colour while retaining reddish shadows. The desired highlight colour is achieved after just one and a half minutes in the MT10 gold toner; the shadows are not yet completely toned, but are already significantly cooler.

Typical Appalachian cove forest with Rhododendron maximum in bloom, Chinquapin Mountain Trail, Nantahala National Forest.
Name suggested by a comment from Cadeyrn Drust: these cove forests can be heavenly, until you have to bushwhack through the Rhododendron understory (whence the name "Rhododendron hell" to describe an Appalachian heath bald).

From Wikipedia: Arctium is a genus of biennial plants commonly known as burdock, family Asteraceae. Native to Europe and Asia, several species have been widely introduced worldwide. Burdock's clinging properties, in addition to providing an excellent mechanism for seed dispersal, led to the invention of the hook and loop fastener. (That's Velcro to you and me!)
Arctium species generally flower from July through October. Burdock flowers provide essential pollen and nectar for honeybees around August, when clover is on the wane and before the goldenrod starts to bloom.
*** So as these have yet to turn into their summer green a monochrome treatment seemed appropriate. ***

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.

A coworker and I went to see the Valley of Fire State Park for an afternoon. The park is a 1h drive north-east of Las Vegas, Nevada. He is our star developer, who is very productive, and comes up with creative ideas. I took this shot with his Xiaomi Redmi 5 mobile phone.
I processed a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from a single mobile phone exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.

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.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov 21, 2015
************************
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…
Studio. Film camera 6х6 Kiev 6C, fisheye lens Zodiak-8 (3,5/30). Author's hand print (Lith-print). Enlarger Meopta Opemus 5. Developer Fotospeed LD20. Photo paper Bromekspress-1. Scanner Epson 3200
PinstaGo 4X5 pinhole camera, in-camera developed with syringes. Left the developer syringe in the sun a few minutes and it turned brown. Stained the print, too. Inman, Georgia
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.

Rollei SL66SE, Carl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2,8, Lens tilt used, Kodak T-Max 100 Professional TMX6052, Developer Ilfosol S 1+9, negative photographed on a light pad, digital processing in Lightroom.
The lens tilt used enables a plane of focus which is not parallel to the film plane, but tilted along the top of the wall, stretching from a metre or so to infinity. Notice that the grass in the foreground is not in focus, even though it is the same distance from the camera as a part of the the wall which is sharp.
The geology and geomorphology of Crummackdale are very interesting.

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.
