… 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 :)
[Hand wobbled in bright daylight.
Developed in Capture One.
Processed in Affinity with heavy sharpening.
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.

Photograph 2014. Printed 2015.
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.
