Properly digitised. Exposed quite soon after sensitiser application - enhanced brown look. If I left it to dry longer but then humidified it I think it would look slightly more like a silver gelatin print.
This was from a negative exposed for scanning not argyrotype but there's plenty of density. At some point I'll do a comparison of scenes shot as doubles to see what exactly the differences are when processed as argyrotypes in the same way.

Looks to me that these are the originals, quite rare as most were removed for the metal in WW2, although there is evidence that most of scrap collected was never actually used and was dumped at sea the whole exercise being a "bonding" of the nation exercise.

I made this exposure with the idea of cropping it very severely, maybe to 1:3, and it's likely I will do so still - but I decided to sit with it at full size a while first.

I thought the plastic wrap would look good on film, it is like shiny metal it seems to glow on emulsion.
Part of my behind the window series. I thought it a shame he couldn't admire the view. He was captured at f2 on the new Ferrania P30 aplha film this time developed in Pyrocat HD one of my favourite developers. Doesn't take up a large stain, that varies between emulsions, and retains it's own "look" as it should. testing show 80 iso can be right but 50iso more comfortable perhaps a little more light not less is always welcome.
