Selenium by Jon Gregory. Two block, three colour reduction woodcut on paper (6x6ins). Hand printed and burnished with an old tin of mints and a teaspoon. Lined up with a lot of luck and a little bit of brandy to steady the old nerves.
I put this together to show the various stages that went into my Selenium print. Two blocks were used, the first to give the bright orange background (left column) and the second to do both the light (middle column) and dark (right column) grey layers. I'd originally planned to do a black outline layer as well but didn't think it was needed once I'd done the dark grey.
It shows an old-fashioned camera fitted with a selenium cell lightmeter. The big swirl represents light passing through the meter, but I'm sure you worked that out already. I printed the background in a nifty shade of violently bright orange because I like orange.

I'm guessing here, I think this is a Samoca 28 of some sort.
Anyone with specific information, please advise.
It is a rangefinder camera
It has a built in selenium meter

Lego bad guy and his motor. Processed with a selenium film effect using Alienskin Exposure. Lit using Fibre optic strobes.
studio work
This print was made by weaving 20 individual 5"x48" strips of Ilford RC photosensitive darkroom paper. I first assemble the paper (under a darkroom safelight) in a weaved pattern to the size of 4ft.x4ft. & then project my negative into the paper as it hangs on the wall. Then I bring the print to the studio floor and apply developer & fixer. After it's done with the chemicals I then take it outside and wash it with a garden hose. After it's dried, I then used photo bleach, sepia, selenium, stains, & inks.

Profite
Si aujourd'hui
Tu peux voir,
Tu peux sentir,
Tu peux marcher,
Tu peux aimer,
Profite
Car après
Il y a la mort.

Etre grand
J'ai appris à mes dépends
Qu'il faut toujours prendre son temps
Surtout ne pas se ronger les sangs,
Ce que font beaucoup de gens.
Je ne sais pas ce que je ressens
Moi qui était un être aimant
Je déambule comme un enfant
Qui a perdu tous ses parents.
Je pense qu'il faut être vivant
Pour profiter des bons moments.
Ne pas attendre trop longtemps
Pour aménager des bons instants.
Alors éviter tous les tourments,
Accepter sans être dépendant
Tout le passé et le présent,
Et là tu deviendras grand.

In experimenting with these lith prints, I've made my first darkroom prints in about 8 years. It's been a reminder that watching a print develop under the safelight is one of the real satisfactions of photography.

30 seconds frozen into one single image...
A short break from the seascapes at the beach/harbours.
This is a shot from the inland lake right around the corner where I live. It was storming and the clouds were moving fast, the waves from the lake almost splashing against my camera. But you can't see that though.
The visual calmth captured here is very deceiving, but there's a hint of turmoil...
Part 6 of the series with long exposures.
Shot right around the corner at the inland lake.
Attempting to freeze larger periods of time in one image you will see my 10 minutes + exposure shots in the near future...

Lifa Colorlux
Selenium cell powered Lightcolor meter.
Found in a Polish thrift shop July 2020.
That thrift shop only sold second hand stuff coming from Sweden (by the truck loads).
This is my second Colorlux meter and quite remarkably different from my first one !!
I now realize that my first Colorlux meter has 2 selenium cells while this second Colorlux has only 1 cell (hidden underneath the dial) and is only able to measure the lightcolor, not the exposure value.
Hmmm......
The first of my real world comparisons of my D610 and D7100. After a couple of straight processing efforts, I went with an all out assault.

Mit der Autopak 500 steigt Minolta 1966 mit den Autopakkameras in den 1963 erschienenen 126Film(Instamatic) von Kodak ein. Gleichzeitig zu der gezeigten Autopak 500 erscheint auch noch die Autopak 700. Letztere sieht aber aus wie der durschnitt der KB Sucherkameras dieser Zeit. Neben den hier gezeigten, gibt es auch noch eine 550 und eine 800, die der Design Linie des beginnenden Weltraum Zeitalters folgen. Die 550 unterscheidet sich durch einen CDS Fotowiederstand von der mit Selenzellen ausgestatten 500. Die 800 besitzt einen intrigierten Federwerk Motor.

With the Autopak 500, Minolta entered the 1963 film (Instamatic) from Kodak with the Autopak cameras. At the same time as the Autopak 500 shown, the Autopak 700 appears. The latter, however, looks like the average of the KB viewfinder cameras of that time. In addition to the ones shown here, there is also a 550 and an 800, which follow the design line of the beginning space age. The 550 differs from the 500, which is equipped with selenium cells, with a CDS photo resistor. The 800 has an intrigued spring mechanism.

The skyline of Lower Manhattan, including TriBeCa and the Financial District (with One World Trade Center), as see from the New Jersey Waterfront. This was the first long exposure I took with the Sigma 10-20mm, pretty happy with the way it came out.

Somewhere in the Western Fjords of Iceland.....It was evening and everyone else was hanging out after dinner. Being naturally anti-social, I went out in the rain for an evening hike up a creek. Well worth the trip.
Taken with my trusty Hasselblad with some lens...maybe an 80 with Acros film printed on ilford MGWT with selenium toning
