Latest 8x6" toned kallitype print, fresh from the tray (well, from the drying line)... 🤩

(Kallitype is quite challenging in terms of balancing achieving deep blacks vs detail, so this scene took quite some tweaking to retain the details in the band of dark shadowy forest, but I'm happy how it turned out...)

Tree



Almost 50 years ago, this was our Christmas tree. My folks got a live tree for a change, and planted it after Christmas. It has taken over this half of the front yard, swallowed up the power and phone lines, killed all the grass underneath. It’s a monster. I made this Kallitype yesterday from a photo I shot last week with my Contax IIIa on Kodak Kodalith 6556 and developed in D-19 high contrast developer. Printing as a Kallitype almost seems to have added back some gray tones that the negative didn’t have. It’s a Christmas miracle.
