I am determind to print at least one RA4 print before I go to bed tonight, and will scan it abd post tomorrow.
As per my post above, I did make one print which I am more than happy with. Using fresh Kodak Ektacolour RA4 and my new totally lightproof darkroom (what a revelation) this image was the result of 2 test strips with the enlarged filtration set at 15M 15Y which gave a too red an image so I increased the filtration by 5 units each which resulted in what you see. The original was 10x8.

Wow! Colour printing - it looks great! Did you process the film your self too? I am not sure my Dark room is truly dark enough for colour otherwise I might have a go myself.

Default Colour Printing

Yes I also do the film developing too. That way It is all 'in house' so to speak. The film was Fiji Superia 200 and the developer was from a Rollie 5 litre kit.

The garage I used before I moved was less then light tight and not as easy to work in. For colour you do have to have a complete seal on the window, I was always getting very odd colour casts that I could not dial out.

I have been shooting film for about 20 years on and off but now i'm 95% film and have just started printing 3 days ago

For this print it took me 1 test print and 4 prints to get to this one an RB211 jet engine

This was the first print after the test print



and the finish print, it probably could be made even better but i'm pleased with it

Well, the nights are closing in, which means it's time to lay down the cameras, and get back in the darkroom!

Here's one I took in the summer on a holiday in Beer, Dorset. This was a hand held 5*4 shot with a Crown Graphic. I seem to remember it was quite windy and a bit of a struggle to keep still.

Default Yellowstone

Coming to the conclusion on a series of mono prints from Yellowstone, l realised
That the only Geiser/best negs were on colour film. Seeing the neg red cast from the scene,I thought, let's forget about filtering as MG paper is naturally G2 and to over come the loss of comparive contrast use the condenser enlarger. Printing Exposure is doubled but a fair result is obtained.

Just been doing some lith prints from negatives I made in northern Italy last easter. Looking good so far. I'll post some on here once I've toned them.
