First 8x10 Argyrotype. I need to work on my sensitizer spreading, it's a bit uneven. Tonight was the first time I used puddle pushers instead of brushes. The 4x5s came out well (I'll scan and post them tomorrow), but the 8x10 was a bit trickier. That's flare on the right side, not uneveness, though.

Pinhole neg (HP5+ developed in Pyrocat-HD).

A couple more argyrotypes from last night's session. Once again both are 4x5 pinhole negatives (exposure time around 6 minutes on both) on Acros in Pyrocat-HD.

From photos shot last weekend. Finally got up the guts to cut one of my extra 11x14 dark slides to make 5.5x14 exposures. Love it. Attached is my first trial of "selective focus" - I was inspired by a photographer featured in View Camera Mag.

Wanted to do this in albumen today, but had to settle for Van Dyke due to time....

An argyrotype. Still unsatisfactory mid-tones.

The racecar is a carbon print, the wall is a carbro made from a B&W print. The tissue is Hanfstaengle transferred to fixed out enlarging paper.

I hope i don't get tossed for the racecar as it's from a 6x6 camera.

While I like the carbro, it shows a common defect which is that the sensitized pigment moved slightly as it was squeeged onto the print. That's why the carbro doesn't look as sharp as it might, but I liked the effect. I'll probably never be able to duplicate it. The carbro came from a traditional 4x5 negative.
