My friend Henry reminisced on the black borders on these latest posts. A lot of us were doing this back in the day at school (I've included them here only because I'm too lazy to use the "good " scanner which doesn't scan the borders). After hearing that and printing this image I thought I'd add another more subtle touch we used to do back then, selenium tone the print. It was for archival purposes but I always seemed to over do it just a wee bit. I also used to run some prints through a weak potassium ferricyanide bath briefly just to give the prints highlights a wee bit more "pop" without destroying the detail. Now I use color adjust and curves. Just not the same.
Backside of the Weston 617. The two selenium cells are visible. The seal (marked W) is still present, a proof that the meter was never opened.

We did a lot of the stand here and do this, touristy shots. The goal here was to get the water skier in the background.
This trail circled the entire lake, and met up with other branches. Needless to say I now have a great appreciation of Madison.

Small amounts of remaining selenium on steel loop oxidizes readily when heated and the vapor burns in contact with aerated butane flame with a bright blue flame, forming acidic fumes of selenium dioxide. Selenium does not continue to burn when the gas flame is removed.
