War Airfield 16
Scanned lith print.
Rolleiflex T w/ Tessar 75 mm + Rollei IR filter.
Rollei IR 400 in Rodinal 1+100, semistand 1 h.
Lith printed on old Kodak Medalist F-3 (single weight FB, thanks Travis!), washed in a warm water bath for about 2 min and then developed in Moersch Easy Lith (15A+15B+H2Oqs800).
Fixed in Moersch ATS alkaline fixer.
Untoned.
PS borders.
2nd print in the bath. Moderate fogging of paper base, hence PS borders.
Pre-dev washing in warm water was a tip from my US Flickr friend Robin, since I previously have had problems with artifacts in homogeneous areas like skies (se below) with this paper, probably due to aged developing agents in the paper emulsion which will be washed away during this process. And I must say that I think it works! Thanks Robin (and Alfred!).
Sweden was "neutral" in WWII. However, we were preparing for the worst. Several "War Airfields" were built and this one (close to where I live) is kept for historical purposes.
