Print on old well expired Foma Variant IV 123. Dev in multigrade. Very fogged paper, highlights grey. Bleached to retrieve them (maybe started to go a bit far at the top) then selenium tone.

Saxony's only light house!
I got lucky: when I was there, it wasn't all surrounded by water. A small puddle formed that nicely reflected the lighthouse itself.
Love this shot a lot, it simply works for me. From the overall composition to the small intricate details, the lighting and the contrast range. Exactly how I wanted it.
I experimented with Catechol as a second developer here. Either I've messed something up or it's just like that but the smell of the developer was unbearable. I made a second print with slightly more exposure and no second bath and it turned out similar enough. Not quite as colorful, the saturation was a bit less, still more than usable.

On tonight's evening news, the weather man predicted we've reached a turning point for this Winter's coldest temperatures. The coming week will bring warmer temperatures and even a bit of rain. Mind you, this is the same fellow that only a few weeks ago, predicted the month of February will be colder then usual. So we shall see. In the mean time, I'll try a selenium tint on this photo from December 26th, when it was indeed very cold and snowy.

I uploaded the untoned print in May this year, and I was always a bit annoyed by the very green hues of it. So I've toned the print in selenium and rescanned and spotted the scan in Gimp. Much better IMO.
Somehow, I urgently needed to make this image. Can't really explain why, but it turned as it should. I'm looking for serenity, but of a slightly disturbing kind, something might happen....

Bei der Goldtonung von Lithprints legen alle Tonwerte an Dichte zu. Deshalb habe ich diesen Print 2/10 Blendenstufen kürzer belichtet.
When toning lith prints with gold, all tonal values increase in density. That is why I exposed this print 2/10 f-stops less.

One of my first experiments with lith printing. Unpredictable and interesting if tedious process. Untoned prints tended towards a greenish yellow turning more to a coppery brown with toning.

… or perhaps selenium would be more accurate (it’s kind of a bluey purple).
This wobbly was taken in May at the RHS gardens at Wisley, from under shady trees looking out on a bright sunny day.
The result was quite curious with this rainfall effect. It reminds me of the pixel sort function that you get in some distortion apps like MirrorLab even though it’s a straight ICM. Normally I don’t get a result that is quite so textured. As the shutter was quite fast there would have been only one movement: straight up (or possible down). The Mistress Serendipity was at play again :)
I tried rendering it in monochrome and was surprised at the result. I thought you might lose the sense of trees but they are still there. I’ve recently previewed more of my wobbly takes in black and white, and some of them seem to work quite well. So that’s another thing for me to explore in my 100x project this year.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100 and Donnerstagmonochrom :)

Converted to monochrome in Nik Silver Efex with a light selenium toning, playing a lot with brightness and contrast to get a pleasant balance between the rain and the texturing in the foreground grass, while maximising the rain textures...]

One of my first ever analog photos! Jokingly, I bought the last single use camera they had at some souvenir store on my visit to Bavaria back in 2015. The cashier told me something like "oh but this is still film, you know, no one buys that anymore". I didn't care much, bought it, shot with it, then mostly forgot about it. I had it lying undeveloped in some closet for a few years until I actually had it developed by a local drug store chain. And so, my analog journey started.
It was only recently that I came across the negatives from this camera again while looking through old photos. This one was a stand-out shot to me, it just worked. Originally, it was a color photo but I had the idea of trying it as a lith print in b/w – and so I did.
This was by far the longest photo paper exposure I've had to date. The negative was pretty dense thanks to heavy fog plus it had the brown/orange color masking too.
I've made three different lith prints – including this one. Still have a hard time deciding which is the best but this one hits my original vision the closest, I think.
With its super fuzzy and unsharp look, I kind of wish I had kept the camera itself... makes for very interesting, artsy shots!

contact printing on Fomatone fb classic (18x24). paper (18x24) , development Ilford PQ Universal. Selenium toner in a diluition 1+20.
This print was slightly lighter than the previous example before toning.
Polychrome print on Forte PW15
1st toner SE1 Selenium 1+20 2 mins on the left,
2nd toner MT10 Gold (16th print in 450ml) 2 mins - not a good idea, because the print was already too dark for this toning, the density increases considerably as expected. A wrong decision, but an example to demonstrate what happens and how such results can be corrected.
On the right, an attempt to lighten a print that was far too dark. Because there is still enough untoned silver after the gold toning, it can be bleached with Ferricyanide and then fixed.
Ferricyanide-Bromide bleach 1+100 1:30 mins, ATS Fixer 1+5 15 secs.
Result: reddish Selenium shadows and bluish lights (much bluer than before bleaching).
A drawback is the excessive brightening of the highlights if bleaching is carried out until the lower mid tones are brightened as desired.
