Hi All,

I just thought I would share this link. It's one of my articles about how I make my prints. Hopefully someone will find some useful tips.

I enjoyed reading that and it is a beautiful print. I like the more subtle distant clouds above the water, which give depth and "sense of place".

That print of yours is an incredibly good result for only working in the darkroom for 3 years! I've been printing for a whole lot longer but haven't made a print like that. There's something to be said for excitement to learn your craft, huh?

I agree with the above comments and will add that I think anyone new to darkroom work or who hasn't been happy with their prints should read it. I think too many people think it's easy to get a great print without doing much during the printing stage (the "I get it right in the camera" crowd). You're obviously thinking about your results and how to get there.

That's very nice! Thank you so much for explaining what you did. I have yet to make a print that good, so learning more about the process is really helpful.
