I'm loving wet printing
« on: October 28, 2014, 08:27:51 PM »
I'm starting to get the hang of it, for this print last night i had to dodge the manifold and in between the carbs



The negative for this print is Tmax100 that i shot at iso400 because i thought i had loaded HP5 so i stand developed it in rodinal

SU carbs!  I can't tell you how many times I scraped my knuckles on the linkages in between them.....

(Great job on the photos too.)

If I remember, these were really hard to adjust properly... a good sign of British automotive engineering  ;D

Lovely work by the look of things Gary. It gives you a great sense of satisfaction when you get that final print in your hand, right!

I'm only using 7x5 paper until i'm confident but it is very satisfying it's probably harder dodging and burning with smaller paper

Yes it is in a lot of ways. Your movements need to be more precise and the time you have to dodge is a lot shorter.
But on the other hand, if you do a big boo-boo, it doesn't cost as much.
