It used to be a pub. The Sun Inn offered everything the traveller needed including accommodation and a beer garden behind the building. These days, pubs are being converted into residential homes and developers make sure that the yard behind is turned into accommodation too, rental or other.

Quality control is carried out after each production of ferric oxalate. I do not rely on the test for residual iron II salt, only the result after printing is really relevant.
Because different developers have their own characteristics in terms of maximum blackening, colour and susceptibility to fogging, I allow myself the pleasure of playing with developers.

Lens: Meyer Gorlitz Trioplan 3.5/7.5cm
Aperture: F/11 - Shutter: 1/50sec
Film: Bergger Pancro 400
Development: Tmax-developer, 20C, 9min.
Even at F/11 there is unsharpness in the corners and a slight vigentting. But I don't mind that at all!

The sodium acetate developer produces the coolest image tone in Kallitype.
One or the other user may well have doubts about this. If the results are not as cool as expected, this is not due to the developer but to the workflow. A really cool tone is only maintained if the print does not come into contact with tap water before fixing. If the print is rinsed with tap water after the developer or the clearing bath, the image tone will be significantly warmer. It is not a question of which shade is perceived as more pleasant, but rather an advantage to know how to control the colourfulness.
For toning before fixing (platinum, palladium, gold), a rinse cycle is advisable in order not to change the property of the toner by introduced acid. For all tonings after fixing, a cooler initial print has the advantage of a higher maximum blackening. This is not decisive for successful toning, but differences in hue and saturation become apparent.

Another one of the Bessa Skopar images taken with Bergger Pancro 400, developed by 2 bath Thornton technique.
This is a technical test: experimenting with Bergger Pancro 400, developed in the Thornton 2-Bath developer to see if it's a suitable combination.
Bath A; 13 minutes
Bath B: 5 minutes.
The Bath A went much longer than typical because Pancro 400 requires significantly longer development times than most other films. This 13 + 5 time gave me very good overall density, but a bit excessive contrast, with the brightest values going a bit too far, I think. Next time I would drop the Bath A time to 10 minutes.
In all, a good experiment and reasonable results.
This was using the pre-WW2 Voigtlanger Bessa: 1/2 second at f16 with a medium yellow filter. Apertures larger than f11 deliver rather poor results with this f3.5 Skopar, unless you like the "toy camera" look in your work.

Beginners in the technique of Kallitype often ask which developer they should choose.
Only a comparison of colour and tonal values with identical exposure time. To achieve the same level of blackness with the acetate developer, the exposure time would have to be slightly longer.

Every time I come to San Francisco, there is some kind of smart-ass billboard along the highway ... "ask your developer," it says.
Ask her what? Whether Twilio is better than some other provider? Whether the cloud is here to stay? Who comes up with these crazy signs?
Fortunately, it doesn't matter very much ... by the time I come back again, this billboard will have been replaced by something else just as mysterious.

************************
In early November 2015, I flew from New York to San Francisco to take a weekend street-photography workshop under the tutelage of Eric Kim. As you might expect, I took gazillions of photos; but not all of them were specifically associated with the workshop itself. On the way out to San Francisco, I took a bunch of pictures with my iPhone; and during the weekend, I took a number of photos that had little or nothing to do with street-photography per se.
I’ll upload the photos in dribs and drabs during the next several days, and let you decide which ones are sufficiently interesting to warrant a second look…

While a very fun location to hike almost any time of year, Rock House is by far the trickiest to photograph. The large rock formations are set back far enough that even in the most subdued light can pose a challenge of extreme contrast range. That leaves a film photographer with few choices as to what type of film developer they'll use to represent the scene.
The easy way out would be to let the background blow out and take more detail in the rock. Or maybe even bracket and *gasp* stitch together an HDR in post. When applicable, I try to never do either. This shot is yet another in a long line of examples why I love Pyrocat HD.
