In other news, my first 15x11" (roughly DIN A3) print came out with only minor issues, none of them show stoppers and I know what needs to be done to improve. So this is just a test print and it's a bit hard to capture, but the overall presence & level of detail is so amazing at this size! Hard to go back to smaller sizes now :)
To get here, I've been doing countless tests of different recipes and hardware (e.g. I had to disassemble my UV light to create a more uniform/unfocused light cone). Developing at larger sizes also means 2-3x more volume of liquids required to fill the processing trays. That means warming up the developer is quite a bit more time consuming and requires a larger beaker, larger bottles for storing other liquids etc. I think the result is all worth it though! 🤩
The original image of this print is here (taken three weeks ago):

My nervousness is rising & palpable... The new transparencies arrived and I'm currently printing the digital negative for my first 11x15 inch (28x38 cm) kallitype. The amount of detail should be incredible at this size. Already mixed & topped up all chems/solutions, exercised my brushing skills (for applying emulsion)... The first large(r)-format printing session happening later tonight (after some Kelly Kettle evening coffee to celebrate the return of spring)...

The saga continues... and the new tone curve is now almost perfect too! 🤩 Kallitype has such small value ranges for both dark shadows and (even more so) in the upper highlights, so it's quite tricky trying to retain as much detail as possible in bright low-contrast situations. To retain more fine control, also chemically, I've started experimenting with 4x weaker/diluted contrast agent, which allows me to vary the number of drops mixed in and thus avoiding (to some extent) having to re-print expensive negatives for just tiny changes to highlights.

Here's an example of what I currently have on Darkroom
(lofi but heartfelt photos of NYC from January, 2017)
Adding more collections as I sift thru all my many, many SD cards and old phones etc

The quest for the perfect print is ongoing...
(Doing a print swap with @pyrenaicus and this wonderful image is one of his and I want to give it my best! So over the past 2 weeks I've been going through different variations, whilst also updating and re-calibrating my workflow, curves & equipment... still some more to try out!)

Hey #believeinfilm friends,
In today's guide, John Jones explains the F-Stop darkroom printing workflow:
https://www.analog.cafe/r/f-stop-printing-the-complete-darkroom-workflow-aujf
Unlike timed intervals, the F-Stop method relies on the same math we use on our cameras and offers a much easier way to see the best option in your test strips.
John also talks about dodging and burning via F-Stop and a few tools (including his own) for making the math easier.
