Pan tiles on part of a little farmhouse building near Pollença, Mallorca in the Balearic Islands. This is a flatbed scan of a selenium toned print, (Ilford Multigrade III RC paper, I think graded at 3 when I printed it, developed in Ilford Multigrade developer, chromate bleached and redeveloped prior to toning in home formulated selenium toner, provided by a knowledgeable chemist friend). The negative was Kodak TMax 100 ASA, developed in TMax dev, rated at 100ASA and I took the photo using a Leica M42 35mm rangefinder with standard lens (Leica Elmar 50mm f/2.8 pancake lens), back in late May 1996. Apologies for lacking the willpower to spot out all the dust and scratches from the print surface!

Edited in Silver Efex Pro with Kodak 100 Tmax Pro algorithm and selective adjustments as needed. Selenium tint.

Selenium light meters are not known for their sensitivity to low light, but I just wanted to know, so I applied the meter readout in this post-sunset shot. Doesn't look all wrong to me.

 

I'm developing a lot of respect for the Tessar. It doesn't really excel at any particular thing, but on the other hand, it responded well to all light situations I have confronted it with, which is more than I can say for many much more elaborate lenses.

I have enlarged this 4x5 negative to 38x38cm with 1.8 logD for platinum prints and a softer one for playing with Kallitype. Because my scanner is only for 21x30cm, I made four scans and stitched the parts together in Photoshop.

Part 2 of the new series with long exposures.

This one is shot on the beach of Scheveningen in The Hague. The part you see is part of the famous Scheveningen Pier, taken while standing right under the enormous pier that also hosts a casino. If you want to know how this shot looks like in colour and treated by a colour expert then check out this version by isayx3 who used this same shot for his PP friday, just check it out, it's amazing.

Why would you take long exposure shots during broad daylight, someone asked me.

Well that can be for various reasons, but very often it is to capture motion in such a way it becomes smooth and solid. Like the small waves and ripples in the water in this shot that are flattened by the long exposure. It gives a more harmonious feel to landscape shots like these. Besides that, the idea of a certain period of time captured and visualized in one image or thought is something that has always amazed me. Time is such a strange concept...

Selenium toned kallitype

Darkroom contact print of a 5x7" negative, printed on Rollei Vintage 111 FB, toned with selenium and Foma Sepia (12 sec bleach).

 

The film used is very special: Agfatone Pan P330p, which is a duplication film. It has expired in 2002 and is not made anymore. I have not found any user manual nor evidence of it being used as a regular film on the internet.

 

However, it is coated on a nice thick piece of sheet material and I didn't know what to do with it, so I gave it a try and exposed it at 12 iso. The negative came out way too dense, at least 4-5 stops overexposed. I had to give it a lot of light under the enlarger to get through the density at all.

 

I'll give it another try next weekend and see what it will do rated at 200-400 iso.

Yashica-Mat on Ilford FP4+, printed on Rollei Vintage RC 332, with slight toning in sepia and selenium.

 

There is something with this print, or rather its scan, that interests me, but I'm not sure what it is. Overexposure of the negative (unsure), or underexposure of the print (for sure)?
