Well, just pulled the print off the drying stand:



As I have an enlarger with the ability to tilt the negative carrier stage, I was able to use that and spread the focus across a tilted easel. This allowed me to correct the slight keystoning of the image.

Details:
Beseler 45MX, Nikkor EL-50/2.8
Overall exposure @ f/16 for 25 seconds, sky burned in at f/11 for an additional 40 seconds
Ilford MGIV Multigrade paper, Multigrade developer, stop bath & fixer.
That looks great!

I think I'm going to have to bookmark all of these images so that I can see them side by side.

Looking at these images next to each other is interesting. We should upload them to a flickr album labeled with who did what.

That is a good one 480sparky. I like how you corrected the keystoning in the darkroom. It is just another of those darkroom tricks I did not know about learning on my own.

I agree.
It's hard comparing prints trolling through 100+ thread replies. Set in a gallery on APUG or flickr or ??? would allow us to see the changes and effects each one produces in the darkroom

It helps to have a negative carrier stage that can tilt. Otherwise, you're limited to the DOF of the lens. By tilting the negative, I alter the place of focus of the projected image. I then tilt my easel to correct for the keystoning, and the place of focus is the same as the easel.

Takes a lot of finagling and fiddling to accomplish, but it is possible once you understand the physics.


Stopped by the Post Office earlier and sent the negative off to LarsAC.

Nice higher contrast version 408sparky!

Suggestion: subscribers can post in (there was a url link here which no longer exists) gallery.

This is my preference, I can't be bothered signing up for anything else.

Would anyone mind if I collected each picture and put them into a Flickr album as they are posted here and provide the link?

Even the Apug gallery is going to be tough to navigate when it has lots of comments and such. I think that there is value in seeing these prints side by side and one after another. At least for me there is.

Well?

Any objections?

Received negative from Sparky very very well packed yesterday - many thanks.

Planning to print the next couple of days, but need to setup some chemicals first after not having used my darkroom for more than three months due to an extension of our family ...

Regards,
Lars
