Hasselblad, 50mm acros film, printed on Ilford warmtone, toned with selenium
As previously stated (in German) the result of Gold tonings are highly dependend on paper and developer. The warmer the print, the cooler the tone after toning. Cool developed papers don´t show an obvious colour change and not much is changed even whith extended toning times.
Adox Variotone Premium
Gold toning (MT10) 3 minutes
for comparison Selenium toning (MT1) 1+10 3 minutes
and Selenium and Gold toning each 3 minutes
After 5 minutes Gold toning (with fresh toner) there is no remaining Silver. One can test this by bleaching the toned print. No change of density and color means that all the Silver has been transferred in full to stable Gold.
Darkroom 8x10 contact print on Adox MCC paper. Split toned with selenium and sepia. A few dust spots which I haven’t spotted out yet.
I have to give credit to moosehd2 for giving me the idea of using selenium in Light Room. I saw his shot and what he had done with it and I immediately thought of this photo. This was taken with my little 3 mp PS two summers ago. It didn't turn out too shabby. But you gotta check out moosehd2's shot - it's awesome.
Sorry I'm so behind on comments. And family is in town this weekend so time here will be limited. I will catch up!! In the meantime, have a fabulous holiday weekend!!
Oh. This is a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham Hardtop Sport Sedan.
Photograph made the last day this horse, Doc, was alive. The owner knew she had to put him down the next day. Poor horse had cancer in one eye. After surgically removing that eye he was fine for six years and then developed cancer in his remaining eye, so he would be blind.
I hope the print shows just how much she loved her horse.
This 14x14" silver gelatin print will be delivered to the owner on the three year anniversary of Doc's passing.
I had to scan the print in four pieces and stitch them together, so it might look a bit uneven.

Match needle selenium light meter with a very ornate flattened chain.Presumably dates from the 1960s, but it was introduced in 1950s. This one has a Scheiner/DIN speed conversion table on the back of the meter. James Ollinger shows the similar scaled (rather than match-needle) version, dating it at 1953. Others refer to the scale model replacing the match needle model, so this one would pre-date 1953, but the Marriot's site shows it in a 1961 Zeiss catalogue, priced at £9-9s-2d.
This one works.
Looking at the picture on Flickr, the meter looks a bit whiter than it should - it ought to be a little yellower.
Paper: Kodak Portralure G 1976 (warmtone enlarging paper similar to Ektalure G)
Developer: Ansco 108 1:0 for 2 min (high contrast developer)
Toner: Moersch MT5 (Polysulfide) followed by Ilford Selenium
This is a new interpretation of this rose picture I took in 2007. The negative was underexposed and quite thin so I mixed up some Ansco 108, a high contrast developer. Portralue's contrast supposedly is grade 1-3 with the use of filters (I haven't tried this).
I have started using Moersch's MT4 polysulfide toner for the first time. It's replacing Agfa's Virdon that I briefly experimented with (and later gave up on:). The saturation becomes much greater when followed by a strong selenium bath and becomes warmer.

Scan of selenium toned print. My photoshop skills just aren't up to my darkroom when it comes to b&w. All my other posts thus far have been scans from negatives/slides but this scan from my print, though 3rd gen, is better than what I've been able to get out of my digital editing.
This is my new account where I will be posting my biggestfan productions content exclusively.
10USD antique store buy. Massive chrome-bodied SLR with an equally large Selenium cell meter playing at center stage. Non-interchangeable lens. Could have been used in fully-automatic mode via the meter cell, or you could set the f-stop and shutter speed with two levers on the bottom of the lens. This example is slowly recovering its ability to shoot with some persistent gentle firing of the shutter.

Mamiya 7ii, Mamiya 43mm f/4.5L, Orange filter, Shanghai GP3. XTOL 1:1 - negative printed on FB Warmtome paper and Selenium toned - this is all detail for my geeksome pleasure and you may forget it entirely.
Firstly, the darkroom is going very well. It is an immensely peaceful activity, very difficult and very time consuming. I revel in it. Please find a scan of a print which doesn't do justice to what is probably a middling sort of print. I am still coming to terms with photographs being physical objects. I've just made the step up to fibre based paper. The photograph becomes a weighty thing.
The tone seems impossible to get right with a scan though.
Secondly, oh dear, what were Yahoo thinking. You think they might have asked a few people. I ask you - how are you supposed to present your sets to people. They aren't going to go looking are they? And the black/white thing is quite visually jarring - the lightbox was fine before when you wanted to do that sort of thing. Tsk. I will be paying 50 bucks a year to get stats? Faaack. Anyway, I won't be going anywhere else but with my beloved Google Reader kicked into touch, it is difficult not to feel like the star's tennis balls innit.

This is the lith print . Used some Fotospeed tapestry photographic paper that I was given by a friend . Fotospeed Lith 100ml A+B and 2 litres water. Selenium toned. This tapestry is a beautiful triple weight cream fibre based paper with a nice texture. This paper is now defunct so going to use it sparingly.

26th November 2010
In late afternoon I took the same way for a walk with the dog and Holga. The toy was loaded with Delta 400. Usually this film is rated at 640 ASA in Finol, enough for snow I thought. But the measurement showed that more than 1000 ASA was needed - for normal contrast, not for a twilight like this. However I took some shots without great expectation because experience has shown that 800 ASA is the absolute borderline for this combi. To change the dilution from 1+1+90 to 1+1+50 would increase contrast but not speed. So I tried the normal developing with 1+1+90 and after a short wash efd as a second developer with the half of the normal time for this film. Seems to be a circuitous way, but it worked. The negs look pretty fine, with much detail in lights and shadows.
