This is a 4x5 neg scan. I wet printed this and This is close to the print. However there were some development issues with the negative that I had to clean up digitally. I'll have to go back and reshoot it.
Gee. 'Sure wish mine looked this good when I had issues. 'Very beautiful, Darin. I love how you composed - the framing, line placement, some foreground w/ high clarity & fading beyond center. 'Certainly worthy of a re-take, but dang its good. I sometimes feel like most of mine need retakes - but they don't come out this good. Bravo.
Thanks HiHo!
I worked this quite a bit with dodging and burning. I did this in the darkroom as well, but it was not until I had it dried that I realized there was a problem with the neg. A big soap-bubly uneven development problem in the sky.
-The one thing I havent been able to replicate in the darkroom yet is the nice duo-tone I can create in digital. The whites stay white.
Dont get discouraged. i think many of your images have potential. And you have some winners there as well.
