Lake Superior

Lake Superior

Overcast evening, at a little roadside park between Eagle Harbor and Copper Harbor in Michigan's upper peninsula.

It's hard to get the balance between the water, the reflections on the water, and the rocks right when printing this - in this scan, details in the rocks seem to have been lost.

Ilford MGIV FB, split sepia/selenium tone
Beautiful. Meditative. Very calming. I am a little bit curious to how you got a slightly cold tone with the toners you used.

Beautiful, Mark. I like how the boulder appears to be displacing the beam of sunlight on the water's surface. Lovely subtle toning too.

All the best,
Daniel
 
Thank you all for the comments. Thomas, I'm fairly new to this split toning, and not an expert at all. When I give MGIV a short time in fairly dilute bleach, followed by full strength thiocarbamide, followed by strong (1+4 from stock) selenium, I get white highlights, very light brown light tones, and neutral to cold shadows. I've also printed another version of this very cold, without use of thiocarbamide. It gives it more of a night-time feeling rather than of sunset. I like both of them.
