Sequoia & Family

My parents and my brother's two sons, gazing upward in a redwood grove.

Couldn't do a proper scan because the print is too big, so this was a quick digital shot of the finished print. The print is better, but... oh well...

Thanks to Richard for loaning some bleach and toner!

An amazing print, Keith! It's really pretty, and the toning suits the subject matter like hand in glove.
Beautiful!

Thanks guys. I saw some of Richard Pippin's carbon-toned stuff and immediately thought to tone this that way. It looks chocolatey delicious!

Kal my enlarger didn't have enough tilt to do the perspective correction I wanted, so I placed my tmax on an incline and did it that way. I used the minor tilt of the enlarger in the perpendicular direction to further isolate the focus.

If you are interested in the starting slide, here 'tis...
