Here's one from a while ago. When I made this plate it looked nice and very clean. When I brought it home and heated it up and poured the varnish over it, all that burning around the top right hand corner appeared. I think I know now why this happened. Will have to wait and see if I can remedy this. I think it has to do with the uneven heating of the glass and also the impurities from the plate being flipped upside down, catching all the gunk in the plate holder itself, being flowed over the plate when the developer hits it. Two forward, one back, as always.
11x14 clear glass
240mm f9 schneider g-claron lens
Edit: heres a photo of it before varnish:
