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.

Although the development time was longer here, the image appears flawless (no snowballs, no marble structures). Snowballs tend to occur in homogeneous areas. With negatives that have a structured background, such as here, the above-mentioned faults do not occur, or only after a much longer development time.

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.

I'm trying to work out a way to use Fomapan 400 as a Kallitype negative, but it's proving difficult to get it to work as I want with Pyro developers. With Pyrocat HD it produces lots of density but higher values are all mashed together into a flat mess. I think I will give up and stick with FP4 for making Kallitype negs.
This is the second of two identically exposed sheets of Fomapan 400, this one developed in home made Mytol, an Xtol ascorbate clone.

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.

A coworker and I went to see the Valley of Fire State Park for an afternoon. The park is a 1h drive north-east of Las Vegas, Nevada. He is our star developer, who is very productive, and comes up with creative ideas. I took this shot with his Xiaomi Redmi 5 mobile phone.
I processed a photographic and a paintery HDR photo from a single mobile phone exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive feedback.

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.
Note: I chose this as my "photo of the day" for Nov 21, 2015
************************
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…
I've tested 9 programs for the purpose of processing challenging nightscapes and for preparing images for time-lapses.

Manly beach, Sydney, winter 2018. Manly beach is one of Sydney's most popular beaches with both tourists and locals. It's accessible via a half-hourly ferry service from the jetties adjacent to the Sydney Opera House. In winter it's quieter, and more popular with surfers catching the winter swells.

Fellow gamers over the age of 30 (and those who played Diablo 2 when they were 7...)! I present this MOC to you as an invitation. The 15 years old game, Diablo 2, still receiving minimal support from developers, is getting a ladder reset (fear not, if you do not know what this means, the message is not meant for you), which is one of the two nights in the year when the game is the most fun to play. So if you live in Europe (or have low latency for European servers) and you want to play the game the whole night casually, but with dedication and preferably voice communication, you are very much invited to my party. Interesants can notify me with Flickrmail, in the comments or send me a message on D2JSP forums, on the name Alpha_Draconis (virtual highfive to anyone who knows where this name is from). Time to end terror's reign once and for all!
A few words about the MOC: I need to rework the sausage arms and the thicc legs, but other parts I am quite pleased by. Of course, with the time sensitivity and a tight schedule, I can not expect to finish this before the event it was built for takes place. It was a nightmare to photograph with the black horns and claws mixing everywhere, but this particular photo looks passable. I will be adding some other links too, when I get around to it. Or maybe only with the reworked version, if that even happens. Additionally, I think there should be a gradient from black through dark red to red, but there are so many clips and similar structural elements in the ends of the arms, legs and torso, that dark red would be an impossible colour to build in even with unlimited resources. Also, here is a reference picture that shows how I only looked at it after building the arms.

My plans around Watford rapidly changed when I visited Cassiobury Park and discovered they were in the process of moving a few dinosaurs around. You know how it goes.
This was a grab shot through the car window before I parked up properly and shows a Triceratops, or at least a Homo sapiens interpretation of it, being transported in the park.
I now know that it forms part of 'Jurassic Encounters' which consists of around 50 automated dinosaurs that move their jaw and limbs and growl - it lasts from 2nd to 18th April 2022.
Despite the event name, the Triceratops did not roam the planet in the Jurassic era, coming much later in the Late Cretaceous period, and only existed about two million years prior to the Mass Extinction.
