Great work.
There was a recent thread here https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/post-your-van-dykes.176604/
Maybe the mods could merge?
Personally I don't think there is enough VDB's threads.

I think the reason they havent met is this thread is in the hybrid forum and the other is in the full analog forum. Once the process is learned the digital negative is easier and more versatile than the analog negative, so my hats off to those that work full analog.

Ok didnt know there was still separate forums, Im so archaic I still use the sun and mix my own chemistry from scratch, was going to make my own paper, but that seems way more trouble than its worth. Im all for using what ever means to achieve what you want, both methods have pros and cons.

Thanks Ced, I injured my shoulder in January and has since frozen up and havent done any alt work since, hard to get creative with chronic pain. Going to start wet plate soon and hopefully get re enthused.

Good luck with the recovery & hope you show the results.

An old 35mm neg scanned and printed on cheap overhead transparency pages with a cheap all-in-one printer. Arches Aquarelle Hot Press paper.

Got some Stonehenge 90# from Dick Blick in 22x30 inch size to cut down. They had them buy 4 get one free at $4.60 each so it brought the price down to a bit under $20, less than 80 cents a print when I cut the sheets 5 out to 9x12 inches. Thats about half what I would have to pay for the Arches Aquarelle at 9x12 and the test I made shows it holds very good detail.

This one's slightly toned with Clerc's Thiourea Gold Toner.

Nice, just enough detail to provide a mood.

Nice work Adam!

Thanks for the comments. This one's also gold-toned:

This is but one of 'about' 15 VDB prints of "Portals" I presented for my very last course at the University. After the necessary 'class critique', the Prof asked if she might select a few to 'stick up on her office wall.. she chose four. Classmates then asked if 'they' might each have one. Knowing I could 'reprint' at my leisure... I gave them the "OK.. help yourself". I had no prints left to take home for my own wall.

Did a little adjustment of the gradient layer on my neg and got my shadows closer to the screen image.

Just a phone shot from the other day... VDB, toned with Clerc's. (The blacks are actually better than the scan suggests.)

Here's an old one knocking around...

Here's another for company.

Wonderful images, Ced. Great compositions both. They exude a sense of calmness..,

Niranjan, Thanks!

I like the horse picture a lot. Personally think it would be ideal in a square format cropping the left, or the bright area there darkened. I would hang it on my wall either way.
