This is a contact print of the first 8x10 sheet I ever exposed. I’m working on a portrait project of people in my hometown of Vista, CA. Bethany was my first participant, and we made some great images together. Shot on Ilford HP5+, developed in Xtol, printed on Ilford MG Fiber, and finished in selenium.
Loaded up five 4x5 negatives in the Jobo I got the other day.
Loading the negatives was a bit tricky in the dark but I am sure I will get used to it. As I shot all of these negatives in the same lighting conditions, I loaded them all and mixed up some Rodinal to see how the Arista EDU Ultra 100 would pan out.
I went with a 1:100 stand development for 50 minutes.
Negatives look pretty good, just need to scan them and see how everything turned out.

A core human need is to find meaning, some underlying truth in an increasingly complex and bewildering world, a world that has the potential to devour or collapse upon itself, seemingly at any time. Large format photography, I find, engages the eye, the mind, the imagination and the heart. Yes there is banality, superficiality, sterility, but the poetry is still there to be found.

Haven't been posting here for a while, but still playing around with light and chemicals.
I have been experimenting with the salt process over the last year or so, off and on, without great success until today.
The 8×10 negative from which this sun-exposed contact print was made is on Fomapan 100 sheet film, exposed in the Sinar P for 60 seconds at f64 and developed in TMAX developer (1+4) for 6.5 mins at 22 degrees C. The lens used was a vintage 9″ Apotal. It is a contrasty negative but seems well-suited to salt printing.
The paper is Daler Rowney Aquafine Smooth watercolour, sized with gelatin. After drying it was coated with an ammonium chloride base coat, tweaked with potassium dichromate, using a 3″ Japanese hake brush. When dry, a solution of silver nitrate was freshly made and the paper coated. A 3″ foam brush was used and the paper dried in darkness using a drying cabinet.

Wasn't easy to shoot this. My fingers were freezing, and the camera was at it's limits with this shift. But it worked. Just barely.
Having neglected to bring the dark bag I thought I'd have a go at loading sheets in the cellar. A partial success.
We're Here, scarred negatives and all.
Hand-held wobble focused macro (Dah!) of a 4x5 negative laid on an LED lightbox dingus that I acquired for the purpose of digitising negatives with a DSLR. I haven't used this process for ages, so Thanks WAH!

I met will fellow photographer / model Elizabeth this morning to try my Speed Graphic outside. This was my favourite of those shot on colour film, shooting into the sun. You can see the unique bokeh from the Aero Ektar lens
