Rexford Falls Bridge

This neg has thin shadow detail and few midtones. Past attempts to print for the snow resulted in a very dark bridge to match the dark trees. With recently learned masking techniques I was able to rearrange contrast overall and locally, resulting in a very different print.

This is toned very slightly in thiocarbamide and then blue. Not much of a color shift but I didn't want to overdo it!

Hi OM,

Yes, below are links to Lynn Radeka. He had masking articles in View Camera magazine in July and September. He's an incredible printer!
