Some still life photos (onions are old, skull is very recent). Tri-X souped in HC-110 - dilution H for onions when film was fresh...dilution B for skull when film was almost 30 years out of date(!). Homebuilt camera, 12" 6.8 Berlin Dagor for Onions, 305mm G-Claron for skull. Skull photos in contact silver, contact cyanotype (on cloth), and contact cyanotype (on cloth) toned with tannin.

These are fantastic, John.
Would love to see your camera. Would you please post a picture of it?
Steve...I admire your courage using 11x14 Provia in challenging conditions - you nailed it!
And thanks Michael! Will post a pic of camera soon - very stripped down at the moment and very primitive! oh....bad res on the silver gelatin deer skull! Here's another try:Attachment 197497
Thanks Steve!
John--primitive is good! It encourages us DIYers to have a go.
Michael...apologies for my mis-attribution (no disrespect to Steve!) - but again...nice work!

Homemade 11x14 (somebody else), G-Clarion 355mm, FP4+, Rollo Pryo developer (40-80-2000), 70F for 10 minutes w/ 1 minute staining bath..
f/90 for 2 minutes. Scene metered from 4 to 9 on my Pentax digital spot meter. Exposed at 6 with no resciprocity failure adjustment. Might have needed a little bellows factor, but it would have been less than a stop.
