Some spider had a somewhat enchanting webbing and collection of pearls.

One very labyrinthine spiderweb on a plain field had some nice dew drops stuck to it. Gave the shot a cyanotypish tone to simplify the image and give it a more "like the movie TRON" kind of feeling... because I was listening to the movie soundtrack (Daft Punk) at the time of post process! :D
Left is selenium tray; right is untoned print. It's a 1+8 dilution and I typically tone photos for 5 minutes. The photo is from 2011, taken with a Minolta XD-11 and a 135mm f/2 Soligor lens on Tri-X film developed in Eco Pro.
Photographed on the Solent at the Lepe Country Park in Hampshire. This has been given the appearance of selenium toning in Lightroom - so much easier and less poisonous than doing it in the old days!
Hand coloring an old mill: selenium - page 2
Copy your original to a name that designates it as a work file. If your original is color already, convert it to Grayscale in the Alt-Image, Mode pull-down or desaturate the image in the Hue/Saturation palette, Ctrl-U. When it is a grayscale, convert it back to RGB in the Alt-Image, Mode pull-down so we can add our own color.
Save all your work as a native Photoshop .PDF file to preserve all the layers. You can reedit layers and other effects later.
We created a warm tone by using the color Balance dialog, Ctrl-B. We simply adjusted the Midtone Red Level to 15 because we intend to work with colors on an overhead layer. Our color simulates an old time selenium color which was a hard reddish black tone. You may prefer to create your old photo with a sepia tone which is a representative yellowish brown depending on the toning or the desaturation and fading of old age. Artists who retouched studio portraits with oils started with a slightly light selenium toned print which more easily supported application of skin colors.
Your background print needs to allow the colors to show so if you think it's too dark, lighten the photo layer. Adjust the Opacity slider in the Layers dialog lower; this allows the colors to show better. Because this operation can be adjusted when you are done, you can tweak the relationship between the photo and the coloring later.
Instead of working on our original layer, we want the opportunity to do simple erasures to clean up any over-done coloring. Create a new layer by clicking on the New Page icon at the bottom of the Layers dialog. We'll use that blank layer for adding the color. We'll smudge "oil colors" on this new layer. If you want, you could add a new layer for each color you want to use and not screw up other previously finished colors.
Plastic selenium meter made by Dorn in early 1960's, and branded as Dacoralux CP. Identical to Dorn's own Prixcolor.

It was the first fully automatic exposure Electric Eye (EE) system Japanase TLR for simple using like a point and shot camera. It is collectible because it is rare.
It uses 120 roll film for 6x6cm frames. The Yashinon 80mm f/3.5 lens is in Yashica single speed shutter (1/60) with the aperture automatically set by the built in selenium cell light meter that surrounds the lens. The film winding is semi-automatic. It has built in flash for peanut flash bulbs and its AG-1 flash socket is hidden behind the name plate. It has X sync and plain filter mounts. There are some cosmetic variations on the Yashica-E.
Canon sparepart lightmeter.
Still in its transport box.
Reference-number on the box C20121
The Selenium cell still functions. Here the needle in the dark situation.
A glance in McKeowns and further Internet searchs seems to indicate that this lightmeter could belong to a Canonflex RM (1962-1964). Further information welcome.
Selenium meter made in France by Chauvin Arnoux. I am not yet sure which version this exactly is, so I can only say it is made between 1954 and 1960.

An old selenium rectifier. What I remember most about these is that when they fail, they really stink.

Done for this weeks flickr friday. I dont own anything artnouveau but since (as i understand it) its all about depicting nature through lines i thought the tangle of the stems was quite fitting.

My friend Henry reminisced on the black borders on these latest posts. A lot of us were doing this back in the day at school (I've included them here only because I'm too lazy to use the "good " scanner which doesn't scan the borders). After hearing that and printing this image I thought I'd add another more subtle touch we used to do back then, selenium tone the print. It was for archival purposes but I always seemed to over do it just a wee bit. I also used to run some prints through a weak potassium ferricyanide bath briefly just to give the prints highlights a wee bit more "pop" without destroying the detail. Now I use color adjust and curves. Just not the same.
This camera has a built in selenium meter but the ISO settings available are 10, 32 & 64. I notice some slight vignetting on the edges and everything has a bit of a pink hue to it. The film was given to me by a friend but now I'm trying to remember if he said it was expired or not. I really must write these things down, lol

I needed to be in Palo Alto for business. I usually take my camera, but I rarely find anything interesting there. Lots of restaurants and shopping, but nothing all that interesting to photograph I decided to try something different with my taped up Holga loaded with Tri-x. This is lith printed on Forte polywarmtone with brief toning in selenium then gold.
Backside of the Weston 617. The two selenium cells are visible. The seal (marked W) is still present, a proof that the meter was never opened.

Kodak 400 through a beautiful Fujica Compact 35. Unfortunately, the lens is cloudy with age and the film was extremely expired and kept in heat behind the desk of a street vendor in DC.
