Anyway, we liberated a few and before they got thrown in a pan I whipped them into the garage for a quick snap with the 'Blad and here is the result from yesterday morning's darkroom session:
Gooseberries on Foma 133 paper, sepia toned |
I'm still learning about the Foma 133 paper. In a warmtone developer such as WT-10 it can be very warm - maybe too warm. In multigrade developer, which is what I used here, it appears to be much more neutral and more like Ilford's Warmtone paper. After the usual wash I dunked the print in standard sepia bleach (potassium ferricyanide/potassium bromide mix). Not for very long, though - just enough to see the bleach starting to take affect. Then a wash for 10 mins followed by the toner stage. I prefer using a very dilute toner and then toning to completion.
