Another nice one. I noted your comment about lith on the other pic which made me look at the sky on this one which isn't lith and yet there appears to be a similar mottling. Could it be the scan equipment or Foma 532 which is contributing to the mottled appearance.You might want to contact Tim Rudman. It's been a while since he posted but as far as I know he is a member( the term, friend, is used there) on another site called FADU, based in the U.K. so might be able to contact him via FADUIf you are not a member there, it is worth a look
No, that's just grain from a 35mm onto 9 1/2 x 12 and my c**p scanner. The print is smoother than the scan. Yes I'll search out Tim because the variability of the blotching I get when Lithing is making it difficult for me to identify teh cause/remedy. I get it when toning Slavich as well, but its much finer.
