Stunning shot !!!!!
a double-exposure happy accident.
Well, you can call that an experiment indeed! (but please do not stop)
OK.
Tried Lumen in the sameish vane as my photogram.
8x10 fotospeed rc oyster paper.
Pre fixing and after fixing, was trying to get a little more depth, kind of. Unfortunately the leaf curled up under the top bud.....I suck at flower pressing, Sly does a much better job.

When I choose this topic I didn't consider how hard it would be to judge. An experiment is not necessarily going to produce wonderful results, so I can't just pick the most technically perfect, or prettiest.
LAG gave us some Velvia developed in exhausted chemicals.
Bertus got some good results printing on expired Panalure paper. Then he went on to enter a print of a negative strip using liquid emulsion. Bertus also posted a cyanotype.
TheToadMen made his first paper negative for use in alt printing.
Awty made his first photogram (on expired paper - expired film and paper seem to be a strong presence in this thread) then made a contact print (his first). This was followed by a darker moodier print on (guess what?) expired paper. Awty later went on to try a different permutation of photogram - a lumen print, before and after fixing.
Cholentpot challenged an old roll of TriX with 2 cameras, date stamps, and interesting artifacts. His second experiment was a pano mask for an Argus. I'd like to see more images made with this.
Michael Orr jumped into lith printing on a paper not known for lithability. He didn't get what he hoped for, but is eager to keep working at it. I look forward to seeing his further work.
Russ James put a test roll of expired colour film through a flea market found camera, then developed in caffenol (using expired ascorbic acid). And just sliding under the wire he brought us images developed in a new-to-him caffenol recipe "Harmony". They look gorgeous. Maybe Russ could share the recipe or a link to it with us.
Ned shared a not-in-contention experiment with a calotype made before this MSA.
Matt contributed an accidental experiment - an overexposure that works pretty well.
Flying Camera also contributed an accidental experiment - a double exposure.
So it's a tough one, but the winner is Awty!
He was my choice because he took an idea and followed it a bit, a negative, a positive, a different positive, then a different iteration.
And besides..... he hasn't won in the last couple of years.
Over to you Awty for the next challenge.
Thanks Sly for an excellent MSA-topic!
And congratulations to Awty for sending in a fine experiment and a very nice print.
Please let us know if you'll be able to host the next MSA.
Thanks Russ. That looks so easy. Here I've been bashing Tylenol tablets to make my Rodinal from scratch.Congrats, Awty! Your entry was a great choice.
Per your request, Sly, here is a link to the caffenol "Harmony" recipe. Its the 3rd one down on the list.
Russ
Also thanks to Cho for more shots from the panargus.
Clever! Must try that sometime as well.Here's how I did it.
