My Mom said she wasn't all that happy with the color of one of her two varieties of Stokes Aster.. so I bypassed their colors altogether and replaced them with this faux/software selenium toned monochrome look.

This is the lith print . Used some Fotospeed tapestry photographic paper that I was given by a friend . Fotospeed Lith 100ml A+B and 2 litres water. Selenium toned. This tapestry is a beautiful triple weight cream fibre based paper with a nice texture. This paper is now defunct so going to use it sparingly.

I've been experimenting with some selenium toned prints.

It's been awhile since I've uploaded an anything; been working with color film and cross processing lately. These negatives are from 2011 and printed in early 2012. The paper is Agfa Portiga-Rapid PRW123 (soft, chamois matte surface) c. 1960. Developed in Moersch SE5 Lith and toned in Selenium.
The Voigtlander Bessamatic 35 mm SLR camera was made in Germany between 1959 and 1962 and 140,000 were made. The Voigtlander company was founded in 1756 and started to make cameras in 1840 so is the oldest name in cameras. The Bessamatic had a coupled selenium exposure meter the needle of which was adjusted in the viewfinder as was the split-image rangefinder.
A four-element Color-Skopar f2.8 50mm lens was fitted as standard and this had a first class reputation for sharpness and natural colour rendition. The lens was interchangeable and on removal from the camera body the Synchro Compur leaf shutter was left behind. The shutter was speeded between 1 sec and 500th sec and had flash synchronisation at all speeds.
Unusual for the period, the exposure meter could be calibrated to accept film sensitivities from 12 to as high as 3200 ASA (ISO). High manufacturing quality and excellence was evident everywhere and controls all moved with a silky smoothness. The camera had a 'rounded' easy to hold, voluptuous shape.
The camera comprised one of a trio of quality SLR cameras on offer in the late 50’s and early 60’s; the Kodak Retina Reflex III, Zeiss Contaflex Super and the Voigtlander Bessamatic.

This indicates a bad electric contact somewhere. Most probably the contacts to the Selenium Cell itself.

One thing I want to accomplish with my Project 365 is to take a self portrait at least once a month. I'm in so few photographs because I HATE being in photographs. However, I know that when I am older I will wish I had more photographs of myself. Hopefully this will get me more comfortable being in front of instead of behind the camera.
Looking ahead to tomorrow, it will be my first day student teaching. I'm excited, but it's a scary prospect. Not the actual student teaching experience, but the fact that I am that much closer to having my own classroom, which is thrilling and a bit terrifying at the same time. Looking towards the future usually is.
I also learned several things today:
- My front window REALLY needs to be washed.
- Trying to take a self portrait is MUCH harder than I thought it would be.
- As much as I love my Nikon camera I wish it came with software to take tethered photos while using live view on my Macbook. ***If anyone knows where I can get free (or cheap) software that allows me to do this and still use my remote to shoot I would greatly appreciate the information!***
- I really like the selenium tone preset filter in Lightroom 3 to create a reflective/contemplative mood.

Again, a very difficult print to scan. I spent like 30 minutes trying to represent the creamy whites of the Ilford and the light selenium toning and this the closest I could get. The real print is much deeper. So come home and see it! :D
This was taken like at 8am on the A25 highway. I only had my 80mm lens with me so this is a cropped enlargement - an equivalent of a 40x60 full frame print.
I used a very high contrast grade to keep the highlights from graying down and the black around the foreground tree as black. The print required anyway some extensive burning in on the left top part and on the mountains in the background center left. The burning in at the bottom right gave the necessary deepness to the scene.
I wanted to convey an eerie yet peaceful feeling, hence I quickly toned it in a fairly strong selenium bath, but I had to make sure this would not get to the mountains in the background and the overall center section.
I am planning to tone it a bit in thiourea - a task for the weekend. Will post the result when I'll do it.

Darkroom 8x10 contact print on Adox MCC paper. Split toned with selenium and sepia. A few dust spots which I haven’t spotted out yet.
Not fixed. Washed in water for extended period of time then selenium toned. A test to see if the selenium is archival properties are enough to retain the image.
Have reworked this negative many times and finally produced a print that I am happy with.

Exposure meter Gossen, Model: Sixtry, Circa: 1957, Cell type: Selenium
Measure type: Combinaton reflecting/averaging and 3D incident meter.
Gossen is a German company that, along with Sekonic, made about 10,000 different meters and gave them similar names. Gossen used the words "Six" and "Luna" often, so there are all kinds of varieties of "Luna" meters and "Six" meters. The Sixtry came out around the time that the Germans were pushing the Exposure Value System of measuring light and setting cameras. The idea was the meter would give you an EV number (a whole number, typically between 1 and 19, but negative numbers were possible) and you'd set the camera shutter and lens to that EV. The camera lens then automatically had all the shutter/aperture combinations locked in, so adjusting one automatically adjusted the other. Two unique features to this meter that make it interesting. One is the little corrugated roll-up door that covers the face and selenium cell. If you roll the door all the way back and expose the cell, it's a reflected-light averaging meter. But if you roll the door up to expose the face but leave the cell covered, it's becomes an incident meter. The other feature is an oddball: a sort of color temperature meter that uses a chart. You flip the side door open and look at the chart; there are blue and red steps and try to see which look stronger, and this tells you the color balance of the light. A chart on the emblem on the rear suggests filter combinations to use to balance the light to the film.

I have to give credit to moosehd2 for giving me the idea of using selenium in Light Room. I saw his shot and what he had done with it and I immediately thought of this photo. This was taken with my little 3 mp PS two summers ago. It didn't turn out too shabby. But you gotta check out moosehd2's shot - it's awesome.
Sorry I'm so behind on comments. And family is in town this weekend so time here will be limited. I will catch up!! In the meantime, have a fabulous holiday weekend!!
