Fading Tulip - paper negative on a 100 year-old 10x8 full plate field camera. Ilford RC VC glossy paper, developed in Bromphen standard dilution. Lens is a Dallmeyer F2.9 8” focus length (ex aerial photography). Exposure on F11, ISO 1 (under weak LED lighting), 3 minutes. Scanned at 1200DPI - inverted in Lightroom - no altering of levels.

Pear on a slate. Working to avoid highlights I followed Edward Steichen’s example (36 hr exposure in his case) and made a cloth tent and bounced light off the the sides rather than using direct lighting.

Preflashed KODABROME II RC paper negative. ISO 2, F45, 5 hours exposure
