By The Water, 54

So, this is called 'By The Water, 54 - or the print that nearly got me punted to the curb...'

Last night, after finishing up printing a small project, I decided to make one more 'water' picture. After washing for 30 minutes or so I decided to break out the toners, just to see that I was on the right track.
Dilute bleach, dunk in bleach, wash 5-10min, open sepia toner bottle, pour into tray, dunk print for about 40 seconds, remove, pour sepia toner back into bottle. Sepia toner might have been outside its container for maybe three minutes. This is at 11.30pm.
Back with print into the wash and I walk upstairs, where my better half is sleeping. She wakes up and the first thing from her is 'What's that nasty smell of rotten eggs?'.... hahahaha So, I guess no more toning with sepia until spring. Kind souls here have advised that thiourea might be the answer to get similar highlight coloration, without the nasty sulfide smell and unhealthy vapors.

Anyway, here's one more water picture.

Thanks for looking!
