Forsythia

Really lovely! Hope the knee is OK

worth being upstairs for

what's the black spot in the middle?

I think some of the spots are where the petals stuck to the paper. After a week, some were really stuck on. I just let them soak off in the fixer, and then strained my fixer back into the jug.
Knee is coming along - probably be on crutches for another week and then a cane for a while. Sure keeps from getting out and around on nice Spring days!

One of the most interesting and fascinating images I've seen in quite some time.

The process: Lay the Forsythia on the paper. Wait for X time in bright sunlight, and ONLY fix... ?

Do I have that right?

Beautiful!

(@ Ed - yes, that's what a lumen print is. Just fix it after a long exposure time. I understand you can do this with negatives also, but you probably want extremely high contrast negs, if not two tone, like lith film negs or similar).
