Gears

I was doing a little spring cleaning and organizing when I ran across a stack of negatives in sleeves that I had put aside because they were "unprintable " (at least for me) in silver-gelatin. These were taken several years ago before I knew how to expose and develop film consistently. These negatives were the 2nd exposure negs that I usually ended up overdeveloping and giving a little bit more exposure. Because they were a bit denser and had a lot of contrast I thought maybe a contact print like kallitype might yield a decent image. In hand these look pretty good.

Terrific shot, Miles and the toning really adds to the impact.

thank you all for your feedback. I read where Sandy King wrote that a very well crafted kallitype could rival Pt/Pd prints and can difficult to distinguish. I am coming to believe that to be true. I also like the fact that for me, the cost off is low enough to feel free to play with it until you get things like you want them to be.

Thanks Tex, but this is the usual color of an un-toned Kallitype if Sodium Citrate is used as the developer. I do have a palladium toned version of this and it is actually a bit more neutral in color. Many say you have to tone or the print will fade. However, lots of study show if kallitypes are processed properly they will go the distance even untoned.
