Two small new prints from this afternoon, this time not Kallitype but contact printing on silver chloride FB paper, developed with Adox MCC. The increase in depth and detail is just wonderful and the feel of the final results an instant throwback to my early darkroom adventures ~40 years ago... 😍
The pictures are of two of my favorite places in recent years. Larger prints will be available for purchase in September.

An example of Trump's war and its volatile impact on photography/darkroom processing: Silver nitrate unavailable (for 2+ months already) at my usual suppliers and only available with 30%+ price hikes (compared to mid January) at other places, even though the price of silver itself has halved since beginning of the year... Thanks very much!

I captured the most magic moment/stage of Kallitype development as 4x slow-motion, the moment when you pour developer over the exposed image and you can see it for the very first time...
https://makertube.net/w/9i7i9APGyJk1Ajbp2zmY7U
Most of the image becomes visible immediately, but details are only completely there after around 30-60 seconds. The rest of the 45-50 minute development process is mostly to refine contrast, tones and making the print resistant to aging and to achieve archival stability, e.g. via multi-stage clearing to dissolve and remove any obsolete iron, toning via salts of precious metals or other compounds, fixing and several rounds of rinsing...
(The print shown in the video is still drying and I will share a picture of it tomorrow)

UV LED lights are becoming a key tool in alternative photography—offering control and consistency beyond sunlight.
We surveyed artists worldwide on exposure times + setups.

Making Of A Kallitype (Part 1)
I recorded and edited a short 8-10x timelapse recording of the first stages of my Kallitype development process. Starting with mixing the photo emulsion, brush coating the paper, contact printing (UV exposure), heating developer and then showing the first two stages of actual development & clearing. Final result shown at the end, a 15x11" framed print (also posted here recently)...
https://makertube.net/w/2xcd99VfoWWuJSH81xunbW
(Please let me know if you'd like to see more like this... Personally, I find it quite ASMR-capable, even at this high speed, but even more so at real time. The whole process is quite therapeutic in these times!)

Some of you might know that image of Crodon di San Candido already (posted it a few times in the past), but last night I finally made a 15x11 inch Kallitype print of it (on Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, 100% cotton, 300gsm paper). Available as limited edition soon.
Since these prints are handmade (each taking over an hour to develop & process), the tone of each individual print always slightly varies. Therefore, I will be offering an option to indicate your preference for warmer or cooler tones. For example, if you choose "warm" for an order, I would then select the "warmest" (neutral/brownish) print of the edition still available... first come basis...

Had to prepare new silver nitrate solution last night and made a new test print of a moody moment from one of my fave hikes in the Dolomites...
(The highlights need a little more refinement)

@samael @polyakovusko done :) I also found your Patreon from the site and will be supporting that too.
If anyone in #FilmPhotography / #BelieveInFilm / #AlternateProcess / #AltProcess hasn't seen the video from Ari Jaaksi about Polyfilms, check it out. The work you're doing under duress is very impressive and inspiring! 💙💛✊🏽

I've just dabbled in alternative processes in the past, but I'm well aware of the intricacies involved in the method, from the creation of a #digitalNegative, to the preparation of emulsion, developer and toner solutions. It's no walk in the park, and Karsten has done an outstanding work, a true wizard of the art.
Thank you @toxi !

Just received the #kallitype @toxi has done from one of my photos. Oh wow! Such a beautiful thing! I'm impressed by its qualities, the level of detail it shows even in the deeper shadows and lighter tones, the richness in it's tonality and the slight, almost imperceptible, warm hue.

How does pH affect anthotype pigments? Mariam Matta explores faster, higher-contrast anthotypes by testing plant pigments, alcohol thinners, and toners to find combinations that improve detail, contrast, and exposure times and shares the result here:

Kellenspitze (2025)
(latest 8x6" Kallitype print from last night)
This mountain is the tallest peak in the Tannheimer Alps, here seen from a narrow ridge path in the north east. It was a fabulous warm day with so many mountain flowers in full bloom and clouds forming/drifting between the passes and nearby peaks, later developing into a heavy thunderstorm (thankfully only when I was already descending again...)
