HARBOUR

The monochrome photographic print featured here was selenium toned (giving the finished print a slight purple tinge). Selenium toning gives the print more tonal depth at the same time giving it an archival permanence (meaning that the print will never fade).

WATER RUNS THROUGH IT

One of the many water courses that are situated in the Humberhead Peatlands National Nature Reserve (NNR). It is also known as Humberhead Levels.

IMAGE DERIVATION

This monochrome photographic portrait was produced in the studio, taken on Ilford FP4 film. The finished print was then printed onto Ilford matt-finish fibre based photographic paper. A clear opaque liquid mask was then applied to the jeans area and the print was then sepia toned. Then the jeans and parts of the guitar were tinted using photographic dyes.

Once again, the sepia toning as resulted in very natural skin tones. The young man in the above portrait is the father of the young lady and gent in the posts of 2nd January and 23rd November 2012.

LIGHT STREAKS

A colour photographic print, for a change. This one was taken by securing my camera to the inside of a car windscreen via a ball and socket swivel head that were attached to a rubber suction cap (just two items from my splendid old Cullman touring set). Which consists of a small lightweight tripod, wood spike, ground spike, ball and socket swivel head, rubber suction cap and an adjustable metal clamp.

The camera was then set on 10 second delay with my Canon remote switch attached. Exposures were then bracketed with the lens aperture of F8. The film used was Fuji colour film rated at 100 asa. No blue filter was fitted to the camera lens (hence the orange cast from the overhead street lighting).

WELL!

This monochrome photographic print of this young lady was taken on Ilford FP4 film rated at 100 asa. Using studio lighting. It was then printed on Ilford pearl (matt finish) photographic paper, then sepia toned (which in this instance gives a very good natural look to the models own natural skin tones and blonde hair).

Her necklace, buttons and ring where then carefully hand-tinted by a small brush using special photographic dyes.

The post of Tuesday 3rd January 2012 entitled: "Painting With Dev Again." Is the same print and model.
