Lith printing with contrast filters

  • A

The negative for this is thin - it was shot hand-held at dusk. I was having a hard time getting a print that wasn't either too flat or too dark. The accepted wisdom for lith is that variable contrast filters aren't used - exposure and development control highlights and contrast. I figured it was worth a try, slapped a 4 into the drawer, and am very happy with the results.

I like this one a lot, has an old feel to it.
 
Nice work Lillian. I've always had the same feeling as you about filters and lith, but it's worth (now) knowing that use of a filter might be the difference in making a print work or not.
