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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This picture was developed with E6 chemistry that had been sitting out at room temperature since February. Quite the vintage look even though this is fresh Provia 100F slide film.
Testing times for D96 developer, I found this guy fishing on the Blanchard River. It's rare to see the river that low and to be able to steps on the falls, it would be even more rare if that guy caught anything.
