Portstewart Bay on lith

I actually got myself out and about a bit over the last couple of weeks and Saturday just past the cloud formations were rather nice.  This was the view over Portstewart Bay, with Donegal in the far distance.  I had a few sheets of Foma 133 left, the fibre-based chlorobromide emulsion which, they say, is suitable for lith and bromoil.  Here's what I got:


'Blad, 150mm; FP4+ in Ilfotec HC on Foma 133, lith

I was expecting some a bit warmer, closer to the Foma 131 classic paper.  In the end the result was maybe halfway between the the almost-too-warm 131 and the oh-so-cold Slavich paper.  Quite nice, I thought.
