I love the glow of the sky behind the trees on the ridge in the forest with the ferns lit up. This is a favorite place of mine to go alone while in isolation. I'm pretty sure if I go there I won't encounter crowds of people which is how I like to shoot anyway. With an 8x10 maybe cyanotypes.
It certainly looks very sharp for a pinhole camera and 6 mins exposure so well done. What does removing green consist of? Is this the effect I occasionally see a hint of in some shots that have that glorious hint of green in foliage? I presume that in such scenes it becomes difficult to replicate genuine b&w print without some action? I usually ask what the toner was, being a complete novice in the ways of scanning
The green is a 'thing' for lack of better term, that warm tone papers exhibit. When the scanner scans, it seems to be much more noticeable, and the contrast seems higher. In the final print, if worthy, I would split tone by bleaching, sepia toning and selenium final, but that's a totally different discussion, best led by Tim Rudman. I never scan in black & white, but always color, then try to match the print. Scanners never seem to do justice. they have a mind of their own. Thanks for your coment and for stopping by to view
Ah now I understand and thanks Now you mention it I have heard of a hint of olive green/brown in WT prints but hadn't realised that a scanner without intervention tends to exaggerate this effect
