Nice print this one.

When the wet plate started cropping up and become popular a while back, I always wondered what using a greater exposure on the plates and developed for use as negatives would look like in combination with lith. :smile:
 
Thanks y'all. i like the grit also, but I want to be able to control it better when I don't want it. I have some chemistry to try. Selenium was totally different with fomabrom than fomatone. However, that's probably other factors. I'll be getting some MT3 tomorrow and want to try that out. These wet plates are very thin negs so I need very little exposure. I was overexposing the snot out of them:smile: This was 3s with a 40w at 4ft. I got a 25W yesterday. This was also the last one I did. The developer was very depleted. I didn't post the one before it but the shadows had lots of light specs.
