In late afternoon I took the same way for a walk with the dog and Holga. The toy was loaded with Delta 400. Usually this film is rated at 640 ASA in Finol, enough for snow I thought. But the measurement showed that more than 1000 ASA was needed - for normal contrast, not for a twilight like this. However I took some shots without great expectation because experience has shown that 800 ASA is the absolute borderline for this combi. To change the dilution from 1+1+90 to 1+1+50 would increase contrast but not speed. So I tried the normal developing with 1+1+90 and after a short wash efd as a second developer with the half of the normal time for this film. Seems to be a circuitous way, but it worked. The negs look pretty fine, with much detail in lights and shadows.

Paper: Kodak Portralure G 1976 (warmtone enlarging paper similar to Ektalure G)
Developer: Ansco 108 1:0 for 2 min (high contrast developer)
Toner: Moersch MT5 (Polysulfide) followed by Ilford Selenium
This is a new interpretation of this rose picture I took in 2007. The negative was underexposed and quite thin so I mixed up some Ansco 108, a high contrast developer. Portralue's contrast supposedly is grade 1-3 with the use of filters (I haven't tried this).
I have started using Moersch's MT4 polysulfide toner for the first time. It's replacing Agfa's Virdon that I briefly experimented with (and later gave up on:). The saturation becomes much greater when followed by a strong selenium bath and becomes warmer.

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.

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.
Photographed August 1994 : Mamiya C220 + Mamiya SEKOR 80mm/2.8. ILFORD FP4+ dev'd in ILFORD ID11 (1+1,8min,20*C) & selenium intensified.Negative was illuminated on a light box and 'scanned' with an iPad mini using the FilmScanner app. Image was then processed in Flickr.
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.

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.

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.
