Post your lf ra-4 darkroom prints
No color negative or transparency scans or inkjet prints please! Just optical prints that you made in the darkroom using color chemistry such as RA-4 from a color negative you shot with a large format camera 4x5" and above. Here's mine:

"No color negative or transparency scans or inkjet prints please!"...RA-4 print scans okay. Unfortunately, I only used RA-4 for MF negatives.
Thomas...It has been a long time since I have been to the Palace of Fine Arts! Photographed there while assisting for a Friends of Photography Workshop (~1990). The place is looking good, as does your image!
Re: Post your lf ra-4 darkroom prints
On an outing with 4x5 I usually bring holders,loaded with B&W and color as some subjects look better in B&W or color. For this image I exposed one sheet of each and you can see the B&W gold-toned print here: https://spiritsofsilver.com/yahoo_si...3958_large.jpg. The color version, in my opinion, is clearly superior and supports the idea of carrying both type with you when on a photo safari.
Most photographers don't go any further than scanning their negative or slides. As Ansel Adams famously said, the negative is the score and the print is the performance. Let's see your performance.
