I was finishing this roll of 35mm Tri-X in the mountains over Thanksgiving since I had shot only half elsewhere. The problem though was that I was shooting it at an EI of 1600. But, it didn't come out too bad considering! Developed semi-stand in Rodinal 1:100 at 68F for 1 hour:

Thank you very much. I still have so much to learn. I would like to add one shot that shows the issue -- it's fun, but it's soooooo cliche -- only missing unicorns. I'm reading design books, but it's no substitute for experience in visualizing.

I made this photo awhile back but haven't shown it because of the processing problems. I guess I'm changing my mind. I like the fact that it shows two pictures being taken simultaneously, one as a memento (by the woman's unseen friend at left) and the other as 'art' (definitely need the quotes there) by yours truly. I think of it as a picture about humans as much as anything.

This is so funny it is ridiculous. It doesn't matter what thread I am in, I can spot Austins pictures immediately. It has become a game to me. I look at the pictures making sure not to look at the posters name. With out fail, if I think it is Austins picture...it is. (Please know that this is a compliment - for with out fail, I find all of Austins pictures mesmerizing).

Austin, just so I don't think you are a liar, please post one (1) of your "screw ups" that you claim to have made...I'll wait.

Even Austin's "screw ups" are gems. Check out his "mistake" of advancing the film while the shutter is still open, post #4684. Freak (in a good way)

Scott, these are excellent! Are they toned in PS or scanned prints?

[Scott Schroeder]

Thanks Adrej,
This is actually all digital and toned in PS. I do wet plates and love it's tone. So I try to get close. I 'embed' the tone as best I can. Here's the steps if your are interested:



I see from your blog and flikr you do lith. I've been dabbling with it and love the results. I have some old negatives I contact print but mostly I use ambrotypes and contact print those. I've tried lots of different papers and chemistry dilutions. I played with lots of MGWT but it's pretty hard to work with. I did get a nice result from it on this print.
