How about a still death:

8x10 collodion on aluminum
Kodak Masterview
Fuji 360-W

Kerik, is that in a swimming pool? interesting image, what's going on? :-)

and another from last weekend, same combo, speedgraphic & petzval:

**Jiri Vasina** · 9-Sep-2008, 22:07

Daniel, the petzval look is interesting. Nice photos of yours...

Kerik, also wondering what's going on. The capture is very strong, though.

Jim,, that's really nice

Yes, this fawn found it's way into our pool but could not get out again. We found it the next day as you see it.

8x10 TMax in HC110. My scans are useless because of newton rings. What's the remedy on an Epson V750 - more glass?

Christopher...I love that shot...plus all the rest of your work.

There is an anti-newton ring spray from Prazio. It's been mentioned several times here. I haven't used it myself, although it's much lighter and cleaner than other oil-y methods.

One question: Is that a straight scan or do you do much manipulation in Photoshop? How about the color work on your website?

BTW, the TMax in HC110 looks remarkably good. I've been using D76 on my TMax roll film lately and like the results...

**cjbroadbent** · 11-Sep-2008, 08:54

You can't do better than D76. I use HC110 as a one-shot in a tray (two really, because it's an Orbital). No manipulation whatsoever- apart from shifting the curve way back from the high density needed for POP prints. Thanks for the Prazio tip. It's going to be hard to find it here.

**PViapiano** · 11-Sep-2008, 09:14

Is the POP density about the same needed for pt/pd? Or is that what you mean?

**cjbroadbent** · 11-Sep-2008, 10:36

Printing Out Paper as in 'Argyrotype'. I'm exposing normally and over-developing by a factor of 2.5 (20 minutes in HC110 1+30). This is way beyond pt/pd. Somehow you have to coax life into the lower mid-tones without killing highlights. The shadows tend to look after themselves. There are no rules. With argy it all depends on the paper you are using. Thats probably why a lot of people try it and give it up.
