Paper & Developer
Foma 131, easylith
I think this is very cool.
If you have a 2nd one try gold & selenium toning it..
'orange' foma lith prints can come out pretty sweet. But only iof you have a 2nd..this is great.
 
Thanks Vic. You may recall some PMs from 2 years ago....it took me that long to finally do this. Guillaume has been kind enough to help with chem suggestions and a starting point. This is from a glass wet plate. I want to steer away from the orangeish tones and head towards a warmer goldeny brown. I have selenium but didn't want to dip into toning on my first time out. Will that pull back the orange?
I think this one might have been more orange than the others because of the KCN fixing of the plate and the varnish. The plate warmth is here http://www.apug.org/gallery1/showimage.php?i=64482

Also, I was warned about fixing bleaching the highlights. I using 1:7 fixer per Guillaume recommendation. Will a more dilute fixer have less of a bleaching effect.
