Thiourea-Gold is a slow working toner, especially when used before fixing. During the first minutes the colour turns to a cool red (after citrate developers), with longer times the hue would change to a bluish grey. Even after longer times there would be still enough remaining untoned silver for a use of a second toner. When neither red nor blue is desired a subsequent processing for less colour saturation is possible.
Kallitype onto Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, Ammonium citrate developer 4 mins, Citric acid 0,5% 1 min MT10 Gold toner 4 mins, ATS fixer 1+10 3 mins.
On the right additional MT3 Vario toner (thiourea after bleach.).
A Parting Glance to show their displeasure at not getting a handout after all the trouble they went to swimming all the way over to where we were sitting, then struggling to get up on the bank and then grooming and posing - all for the sake a few treats.
Sorry to disappoint you, pretty little ones. We have never fed the wildlife when we visit the arboretum. But obviously some people do, in spite of the signs posted that say not to.
Kallitype overexposed,
Potassium citrate developer,
Cobalt toner setting: Potassium citrate, Cobalt nitrate, Citric acid, Potassium ferricyanide, water 12+8+7+4+450ml 1 minute,

Continuation of the Grebe story this year - young Western Grebe races toward an adult, still looking for a fishy handout.
The Western and Clark's have been particularly entertaining this year, with the pairs rushing - running on water - way back in February. Then came the youngsters riding around on the parents' backs, swimming lessons, fish-eating contests, feather feeding. The local park did close for six weeks, and I was afraid I would miss the rest of the story, but happily our grebes have fared well. Maybe they even had a banner year without us humans bothering them at least some of the time. They've really given me a lot of joy and distraction too from these challenging times.
We have Blue Jays in our part of Canada so it was a pleasant surprise to see one of their cousins - a Steller's Jay - on our trip West a couple of years ago. This one was hanging around some picnic tables and clearly looking for a handout. It's such a strikingly colorful bird - and just as noisy as his cousin!
Efke IR820 rated at 6 ASA, Finol 1+1+100
Kallitype on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, sodium acetate developer.
Bleached on the left and redeveloped with SE6 Blue. This produces larger silver crystals, which has the advantage of not having to fear the fading that usually occurs when toning with selenium (made for silver gelatine). The hue is cooler than before.
Middle: MT1 Selenium toner 1+30 45 seconds.
Right: If a cooler shade is desired, it can be toned again in Iron Blue Toner (5+5+10+5+400ml one minute). Because of the combination with selenium, the resulting colour is initially on the greenish side. A post-treatment with lead acetate (2.5% solution 20 seconds) shifts the colour to a cooler blue.
Boston Common Squirrel
The Boston Common is a public park in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. It is the oldest city park in the United States. Boston Common consists of 50 acres of land bounded by Tremont Street, Park Street, Beacon Street, Charles Street, and Boylston Street.
I do have some favorite animal poses, and this is definitely one of them - squirrel with that tail high and curved against the body. It's enjoying a peanut handout on this cold grey day - Los Angeles County Arboretum.
An inquisitive young Yellow-Bellied Marmot (Marmota flaviventris) scales a boulder near Lake of Glass, and likely hopes for a handout from passing tourists in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.
Whether it was hungry or not I don't know, as it didn't receive any food from our party, but whatever the case it was singularly unperturbed by the presence of humans. After I captured this pose, it descended the boulder and sauntered within a couple of feet of my toes as it went off about its Marmot Business. I think encounters like this are probably only possible because dogs are not allowed in National Parks.
I hope folks are hanging in there!
Kallitype handouts:
no. 1 Sodium acetate developer and MT3 Vario toner. If split-tones are desired, a cool working Sodium acetate developer is the best choice. The print negative was made from a scanned lith print. Paper Hahnemühle Platinum Rag. MT3 Vario toner: bleach 1+100 1:45 mins, toner setting C.
The north american coyote... coy, clever, cunning, sly and apparently used to free handouts from passing vehicles. I work in the oilsands in northern Alberta. I see coyotes almost every day. I had some spare time yesterday so I stopped on the side of the road when I saw this one. It watched me for a few minutes then ran up to the vehicle... waiting for its free handout. I shot him instead... that is with my camera.

I\'ve arrived at the Waikanae River\'s estuary with Flickr Friend Minicooperd, but it's rained for most of the journey north - and it was still raining when we arrived! So, we headed off for an early lunch at a local cafe, in the hope that the weather would clear while we were eating...
And as it turned out: it did!!!
The estuary - and in particular the Waimanu Lagoon that stretches away from the estuary at right angles - is home to a wide variety of birds that include Black Swans, Coots, Paradise Shelducks, Cormorants, Royal Spoonbills, Variable Oystercatchers, Greylag Geese, Scaup, and Pukeko (and I may have missed one or two!).
This Black Swan and her family were the first to welcome us upon our return - until, that is, she realised we weren't offering free bread hand-outs...!
And speaking of bread, here's something to hum along to:

Enjoy!
Continue to keep well everyone, and thanks for taking the time and the trouble to leave a Comment...! It's always nice to hear from you, and your comments are always greatly appreciated...!
A gull flies under the trees that shade a city picnic-table, and where the ducks and gulls congregate, hoping for a free food handout...

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.

As I was walking around this lake toward one of the shaded seating areas, I looked up and saw all these Canada Geese headed right in my direction at warp speed!
Uh, Oh! This might not be a good thing. No doubt they are expecting a handout of some kind and that is definitely one thing I don't do - feed animals out in the wild.
The only exception would be at a place where the management provides those machines where you get a handful of kibble for a quarter. And this is NOT one of those places.
Got any more peanuts! Rocky racoon was a bit surprised to see me, I think he was hoping for a handout but decided to leave when I had none, shot in North Carolina.
No longer a baby, this young American Coot still puts the touch on Mom for handouts. I think Mom has had enough of junior's begging.
Our youngest son has two burrows begging for a bite while we were driving the wildlife loop in Custer Wildlife refuge.
Okay I am guilty as charged for sticking some peanuts in the tree branch :)
White-breasted Nuthatch

Great Kiskadee, Rondeau Provincial Park, Nov 2 2018.
As long as it keeps showing up I will keep posting its photo.
Such a rare bird and to have it around for this long is a real treat.
It is finding enough to eat, frogs are still out and there are lots of berries for it.
Pitangus sulphuratus
Food - Great Kiskadees eat both animal prey and fruit. They hunt like a flycatcher, fish like a kingfisher, and forage like a jay. They perch on treetops in open areas, sallying forth to snatch flying insects in midair. They also glean through grass, shrubs, and trees for beetles, grasshoppers, spiders, millipedes, lizards, snakes, and small mice. Near bodies of water, they drop from perches to hover above the water’s surface and pluck prey such as small fish and tadpoles. They also eat fruit from trees, vines, cacti, and sometimes handouts from people. And they’ll boldly steal food from cat and dog dishes.

time for another change of pace, something I dont do much of: wildlife images.
Spent the entire day out with the camera yesterday at various locations, took nearly 400 pics and so lots of new material to play with on a lazy Sunday.
Here's a close-up of a Canada Goose. They were quite tame and seemed to be looking for handouts of food.
You'd only see two or three ducks and someone would walk out and throw some bread, BOOM! all of sudden there's dozen of every kind in front of them. I had an incident while fishing when someone threw some corn out right as I was casting, a duck was coming in fast but veered up at almost the last second. You notice I said almost, my hook snagged its tail feathers and the fight was on. Thank goodness I only had its feathers, it's one I'm glad that got away.
