I'm confused. Is this a photo of art work in bromoil or is this Photoshop conversion from a photo printed in bromoil. Both look like copies of art work.

Michael - the posted print is a scan of an original, traditionally processed bromoil. The print was not enhanced or converted using Photoshop. In fact, I don't own or use PS or other digital software. The second posted image is a bromoil transfer on water color paper and was hand colored using oil pencils and oil crayons. Thanks for your interest!

Cheers,

Gene

Nice results with the Luminos paper. The soft violet tones here are beautiful. I've been looking to try more papers as my Agfa 118 stock diminishes, I'll add this to my short list!

Terri - Luminos Charcoal is no more. It was actually a private label version of a Kentmere paper which was also discontinued. I stockpiled several papers when they went south!

Cheers,

Gene

Phooey! I knew they'd made changes, but thought it was still around. Ah, well. So the hunt continues! Thanks for the info.

In mid January Kentmere is supposed to revive the double weight version of their Art Document paper under a new name, which escape me. Old, failing memory! :>)

If you don't find out anything about it, email me next month.

Is this a picture of a painting? Or is this a still life you set up?

It is definately eye catching. It just plain looks like a painting.

Thanks Mark. It's a still life I set up. A mannequin and a stuffed barracuda head surrounded by a fish net.
