Birch Alley

Scanned liquid emulsion print.

 

Mamiya 645 ProTL w/ M-S 45 mm/f4 macro. Early morning of April 22, 2023.

 

Fomapan 200 @ iso 100, dev. in Rodinal 1+100, semistand 1 h.

 

Foma's liquid emulsion with hardener on Lokta paper 30x40 cm (handmade Nepalese paper, see link below if you want to know more). The paper is thin (65 gsm) so I mounted it on a FB paper to make it sturdier for the wet process. This first experiment with no pre-treatment of the paper shows how much impurities there are. I'm surprised that it became an image at all.

The halo and vignetting came as an unintended bonus :-)

 

Developed in Moersch SE2 1+20, fixed in Adofix PII (hardening) and toned in Se 1+9, 60 sec.

 

Lokta paper is handmade paper from Nepal.

Nepali kagaj or Nepali paper, is a wildcrafted, handmade artisan paper indigenous to Nepal. It is made from the bark of two of the species of the shrub Daphne.

Found this in an artist webshop in Sweden.
