[TonyMiller]

Hi Richard, thanks for your two very nice prints. Although not mentioned in your letter how are the prints toned? I especially like the effect - it suits the subject very well.
Thanks again.

Hi Tony, glad you like them, I use Fomatoner sepia, dilute at half the suggested rate, that is I use 50ml of both toner and bleach to 1 litre of water, and bleach back until I think the prints are back far enough then wash and tone, I use the Kentmere RC paper as it is the best RC for toning around, nearly as good as FB, if not as good.

Thanks Richard for the detailed info - you've certainly obtained a lovely look with these.

Click on the image to open it, right-click on the opened image and select save image, save it to your hard drive somewhere where you can find it later, then upload it from there to the gallery as normal.

A worthy addition to my growing collection of proper prints. I like the covering notes as it gives a context to the print which I find is important to my enjoyment of them.
Thanks, Mike
