4x5 silver contact print.
I just picked up a dichro enlarger and decided to try my hand at split grade printing. I wanted to eliminate the enlarging variable for my first attempt so I printed this, which I was never able to get right on graded paper. I'm not sure whether or not the scan reflects it, but there is a nice amount of shadow and highlight detail I wasn't able to achieve before. You can even read the chalk writing in the highlights of the image. Needless to say, I'm rather excited about this technique.
Looking at this reopened JPG, it's lost much of the detail I was describing... yeah digital.
