there's such a nice feeling between the mid tones and dark ones.
the leftmost vertical is a perfect foil to the trees !

good to see others having fun with this medium :smile:

I still have to perfect my technique (note the thumbprint in upper left corner that I applied to the still-wet emulsion). Locally I've generated a lot of interest with these, and I've been asked to give a talk in the fall by the library's outreach program.

This is probably going to lead me into acquiring an enlarger that handles 4"x5". I just have to find one I can afford.
