Wonderful...Perfect...Thank You!
Nice. Thanks for posting that.
Three times in two days??
Other than it being NYC-centric (my birth certificate reads NYC, and I have no patience for those who view the place as nirvana), that video does offer some useful information. In many scenes where prints aren't under carefully controlled lighting, it confirms that today's Ilford (and most other) fiber-based papers include top coats which are far, far, faaaaar too reflective.
Apparently the appeal of shiny objects trumps yesteryear's elegant print surfaces. Sad.
That was great. I think I need a master printer. I feel as if I’ve gone as far as I can with my own printing skills, and I’ve been at this for 40-plus years. There’s probably a hell of a lot more I could be doing to get more expressive prints.
