The last low key church interior photo for now, I promise!! ;)

I took this one during my first (and to date only) visit to Sweden last summer. We were there only for a few hours, then we had to get going back to Helsinki again, we didn't get to see so much of Stockholm.

Normally, I have a fairly good recollection of where exactly I took which photos, even months after the fact and even when I'm unfamiliar with the region. Whenever I can't figure it out anymore, I try and see if I have any phone photos from the same place as they're geotagged.

With this one, I was all out of luck: I had no idea what the church is called, where exactly it is located and I had 0 photos of Stockholm on my phone (can you believe it?! ;))

Some "Google Maps forensics" and virtually wandering on the map starting at the Stockholm Palace eventually made me find it again.

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.

This is a Selenium version of an earlier post. I have been studying B&W photography lately and thought of trying it out on this.

Thanks guys for helping make this image to FP (Highest was at No. 8). Cheers! Have a great weekend!

I don´t know why, Amidol prints are particularly susceptible for every kind of toning.

In our yard we always tried to have plants that were native to the oak savannah that once covered the landscape of the Midwest in Minnesota. The pollinators loved them, and in some small way I imagine it helped keep their populations healthy. If pollinators die, humans die.

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.
