Tree, track, frost and mist

Tree, track, frost and mist

A wonderfully frosty, misty day on Draycott Hill south of the beautiful town of Marlborough in Wiltshire, England. We enjoyed a family walk into Marlborough for lunch and then back. Fifteen miles and an unforgettable day. The world seemed transformed by hoar frost and mist creating something akin to Narnia.

This was my first film developed in Prescysol EF. It probably wasn't the best choice as the scene was incredibly low contrast and I think the Prescysol probably exacerbated the problem. Hence the need for a lith print to bring out some contrast. Unfortunately increasing contrast to this degree highlights all the otherwise invisible imperfections in the stain. Still, I think it adds character to this print.

Barry, that's absolutely outstanding. WOW! I am extremely impressed with this.
 
prescysol ef is a remarkable developer and works remarkably clean . I think that it would be very unusual to see any uneven staining of your film. Also contrast builds pretty easy and fast with prescysol -ef and i tend to use it in low contrast situations to help boost the contrast. As for the photograph, well it's SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL ! Good job......
