Well, one of my first - taken with the Agfa 8x10 on Silverprint Proof paper. Developed in weak Multigrade and digitally inverted - although I have successfully contact printed it but it is still drying.

It seems to have worked very well, may we have a bigger print scan when it's dry please?

Most impressed - looks very retro and I can see possibilities here for landscape use :-)

If you really fancy a challenge, you could try covering Le Tour with the 10x8 :D

Dragging something like that up Alpe d'Huez would give your cardiovascular system a real work out :eek:

Now there's an idea:-) Only Mr Wiggly goes too fast and Cav does not stop gassing.
Might start with a moving tractor. Just off to Isle of Harris for the day :-0
