Photo Details
MickS Friend Registered: February 2010 Location: March Posts: 29	5x4 neg enlarged to 7x5 on to lith/ortho film and contact printed in the sun until the shadows blocked then double the time, lost the notes in the move so this is going to have to be done again. developed in tap water, fixed in plain hypo. The paper is, if my memory serves me well, Jessops Satin, this is the colour when the paper is printed out, not toned, If you want to try this, DO NOT DEVELOP IN DEVELOPER, IT WILL JUST TURN BLACK. This was held in a sandwich in a Paterson contact printing frame, you know, those old ones with the yellow foam base and thick sheet of glass held with a clip. You can get some weird effects with Ilford MG resin coated, sometimes a dou tone pink and blue! I think this is to do with the emulsion structure catering for multi grade. I think that one day I'm going to have a go with the MG enlarging filters and see if that makes a difference.

Hello, Mick.
Nice picture and vintage effect. Very interesting technique. Was the mist part of the original composition or is it a side effect of the printing process?

Cheers, Marty.

Watcha Marty,
thanks.
I deliberately went out on a misty day to get pics like this, mist is my favourite, followed very closely by frost, then autumn.

Mick

Lovely image, Mick. I've always wanted to try POP, but I guess I never will now.

This also brings back happy memories - I used to play here a lot when I was a kid. I once paddled from here to Roydon on a lump of old polystyrene!

An interesting technique; something to try when I'm next in a darkroom.

Thanks All,
Rob, you can use any photographic paper as POP, Centenial was just very slow with lots of silver, I think single grade paper is probably the best, but there can be some unusual results from multi grade. You can still roll down the river to Roydon but you have to dodge the narrow boats:-)

Thanks Richard,
you did mean Joe Bloggs Sutcliffe with the digi compact, you couldn't possibly have meant Frank Meadow Sutcliffe, he had more art in his left little toenail than I ever will have.

Beautiful rendition of a stretch of the River Stort I know so well. Fine work indeed.
