Just back from a very short break away. For some reason this year whenever I have some leave, the weather just hasn't played ball.
My 1st visit to Porlock Weir, on a very grey and drizzly afternoon, I sat patiently as the tide rolled in, waiting for the rain to ease just enough to try a long exposure shot.
Processed with Nik Silver Efex for monochrome then added a subtle blue Selenium toner effect to the image.

Mounted Focomat V35 print.
I'm still without a scanner hence the snapshot.
Mounted 9.5x12" selenium-toned silver gelatin print.
I'm spending as much time as possible in the darkroom these days, printing new work.
I hope you're all having fun!

Another photo from my Gran Paradiso walk, it was quite productive - the area is so beautiful.

… or perhaps selenium would be more accurate (it’s kind of a bluey purple).
This wobbly was taken in May at the RHS gardens at Wisley, from under shady trees looking out on a bright sunny day.
The result was quite curious with this rainfall effect. It reminds me of the pixel sort function that you get in some distortion apps like MirrorLab even though it’s a straight ICM. Normally I don’t get a result that is quite so textured. As the shutter was quite fast there would have been only one movement: straight up (or possible down). The Mistress Serendipity was at play again :)
I tried rendering it in monochrome and was surprised at the result. I thought you might lose the sense of trees but they are still there. I’ve recently previewed more of my wobbly takes in black and white, and some of them seem to work quite well. So that’s another thing for me to explore in my 100x project this year.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy 100 and Donnerstagmonochrom :)

Converted to monochrome in Nik Silver Efex with a light selenium toning, playing a lot with brightness and contrast to get a pleasant balance between the rain and the texturing in the foreground grass, while maximising the rain textures...]

I realized I needed to work harder on my darkroom skills, if I want to get just a little bit close to the epic landscapes of Don McCullin.
So over the last couple of weeks, I've been teaching myself dodging and burning techniques and more elaborate use of filters for contrast control in the darkroom.
Bottom half is printed grade hard (magenta), sky is burned grade soft (yellow). Toned in selenium 1:19, 3:00 minutes.

One of my first ever analog photos! Jokingly, I bought the last single use camera they had at some souvenir store on my visit to Bavaria back in 2015. The cashier told me something like "oh but this is still film, you know, no one buys that anymore". I didn't care much, bought it, shot with it, then mostly forgot about it. I had it lying undeveloped in some closet for a few years until I actually had it developed by a local drug store chain. And so, my analog journey started.
It was only recently that I came across the negatives from this camera again while looking through old photos. This one was a stand-out shot to me, it just worked. Originally, it was a color photo but I had the idea of trying it as a lith print in b/w – and so I did.
This was by far the longest photo paper exposure I've had to date. The negative was pretty dense thanks to heavy fog plus it had the brown/orange color masking too.
I've made three different lith prints – including this one. Still have a hard time deciding which is the best but this one hits my original vision the closest, I think.
With its super fuzzy and unsharp look, I kind of wish I had kept the camera itself... makes for very interesting, artsy shots!

Print scanned on a Heidelberg/Linotype-Hell Saphir Ultra II using Vuescan.
contact printing on Fomatone fb classic (18x24). paper (18x24) , development Ilford PQ Universal. Selenium toner in a diluition 1+20.
This print was slightly lighter than the previous example before toning.
Polychrome print on Forte PW15
1st toner SE1 Selenium 1+20 2 mins on the left,
2nd toner MT10 Gold (16th print in 450ml) 2 mins - not a good idea, because the print was already too dark for this toning, the density increases considerably as expected. A wrong decision, but an example to demonstrate what happens and how such results can be corrected.
On the right, an attempt to lighten a print that was far too dark. Because there is still enough untoned silver after the gold toning, it can be bleached with Ferricyanide and then fixed.
Ferricyanide-Bromide bleach 1+100 1:30 mins, ATS Fixer 1+5 15 secs.
Result: reddish Selenium shadows and bluish lights (much bluer than before bleaching).
A drawback is the excessive brightening of the highlights if bleaching is carried out until the lower mid tones are brightened as desired.

A woman stands at the side of the road waiting for a tricycle to pick her up. I shot this image while riding shotgun in a tricycle along a busy road. Vintage selenium toning applied.
Got myself a "new" old camera on a flea market in Stockholm during my holiday: a Franka Solida II with Ennagon lens in reasonable condition.
This shot was handheld in low light, f4 and 1/50 sec if I remember well.

Monochrome - toned Selenium with one of Dave Striker's Gradient maps.
Close-up/Macro using a 60mm (equiv. 120mm) with 26mm (16mm + 10mm) Extension Tubes. I found I couldn't get the depth-of-field using a 30mm Macro lens. The extra camera-to-subject distance required with the longer lens gave a better depth-of-field.
