    Well, the effect of long exposure can be subtle, and can easily over-ridden by other parts of the process. But once one has the other variables under control (such as negative quality, paper, etc) and one has developed an eye for such things, it can make a difference.

    ... under control ... Sort of. I develop with steam from a dehumidifier for about a minute before sliding into distilled water - That probably over-rides any other effect.

    I know, I know -- it gets to the point where I start worrying about the phase of the moon! LOL! And at that point I find that a nice cold IPA really helps to smooth things out.

    Phases of the moon! Boy do I know about that. You are better than I my friend as I can't drink wine and print carbon. This is one of the 8x20's from the trip in October when I came up to see you. Sucks on the web but looks great in the flesh. Shot on the old Bergger 200 and developed in Pyrocat-HD. Carbon transfer print. Shot it with my P&S digital so I could post it.

    is this the worlds first wet plate transfer?

    originally done as a tin type, then transferred the image to plywood covered in beeswax.

    No, there's one on the black wall of my darkroom that's been there for about 5 years. NFS.
