Medium yellow, for contrast control. WAY better than pre-flashing teh paper!
Is this print for sale?
  1. Yes
Very beautiful photograph and at the same time I find it to be somewhat unsettling.

Love it. So, you are happier using a yellow filter? Is it just more convenient or is there a real noticeable difference than preflashing?
Thanks Andrew. I think the yellow filter DOES make the process easier - pre-exposing paper is a pain, really - but it also controls the contrast MUCH better than pre-flashing (in my experience) does. I have never had paper negs on MGIV that came close to having as full a tonal range as these experimental images display. I am SO grateful to APUG members for suggesting this method. (Why it didn't occur to me in the first place, I do not know!) Thank you!
 
Nice one! Hey am I the only seeing a distorted head lying on it's side on the right hand side of the image? Kind of looks like dolls head only bigger. Roger

I hadn't seen that until you said something about it - and yes - it DOES kind of look like that! Creepy.
