Trying out sepia toning with some ilford FB paper. I need to do a better job of split printing this photo. Arista Ortho Litho film.

Did you use the film as the camera original? I like the effect.

Yeah, I shot this on Ortho Litho 4x5 film on a Wista. Developed the film in paper developer. Then made a 8x10 print and toned it with Foma's sepia toner. It's interesting, this looks like some kind of digital filter but the print really looks like this. I just scanned it and adjusted the curves a little in Rawtherapee because my cheap scanner doesn't have great contrast.

Thanks. I asked because there is a little gradation in the mid tones that adds to the effect of the image. I just wondered how you achieved that.

Hard not to like this! Not only the truck which is very wonderful, but matching people!

Yes, it really is terrific, great work, I really appreciate this

Well mate, "split printing" or not matters 'not a fig' to me. I really like it and you should be very satisfied, if I could 'produce' an image anywhere near this, I would be more than very chuffed

Haha, thanks Andrew. I was surprised how this photo turned out, when I was enlarging my first thought there was some dirt on the negative on the door, then was very pleased to see that interesting pattern. Behind the mirror is a very mischievous small bit of fractured glass as well.

The rendering reminds me of something from a gritty comic book, and I definitely didn't realize it would come out like this. I am pleased to get such a result from a totally analog process.

Found this old thing while doing a walk, not sure if this is ok as a car.

I think about a 1942 GMC truck. It was on the other side of a 5-foot chain-link fence.

Crown Graphic. APO Symmar 120mm, 400TMY

My Graphic came with a Xenar 135/4.7 but had a sticky shutter so I've been using a this Symmar 120mm. I finally sent the Xenar in for repair. I'm looking forward to tying it out.

I like that — nice tones.
