A Tulip (well, it's almost macro on 4x5"...)

Works for me Bob. Look like it's been toned with tea let alone being on a cream base. The flower head looks a little small - it might've been of course - or was this camera angle. Off to do John Blakemores workshop at Inversnaid second week in June so I might come home with a tulip shot or two

Interesting print tone. I might try that.

That is an interesting cream color. I am missing Portriga. I'll have to try something like this color

Lovely tones, Bob. A really gentle, warm effect.

Thanks for the comments chaps - it is an interesting paper... Have fun at Inversnaid Carl - looks like a somewhat unusual workshop (should be plenty of dead and decaying tulips by then too!..). Always meant to go to Inversnaid one day but booking holidays months in advance is not practical for me. -

Cheers, Bob.

Wonderful image! Your choice of paper color hit the bullseye. What kind of lighting did you use?

Cheers, Don. This is flat on the ground with the 4x5 pointing downwards. Lit from above and left with a reflector bottom right to bounce the light back. A simple 100W spot lamp bounced off a silver brolly (hence the 5 minute exposure!). Bob.

Love the creamy tone of that. Have you tried the Foma Chamois paper?

Again beautiful image...
