#splitgradeprinting

Some more tulips! Finished Splitgrade print on Ilford’s Multigrade IV RC Deluxe (18x24). The ancient micro-Nikkor (3.5/55) is crazy sharp. #analogphotography #darkroomphotography #splitgradeprinting #nikonf2 #micronikkor #tri-x #xtol https://www.instagram.com/rolf.schmolling/p/Bw8tNwWA1DG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wru9h6kvamd1

Splitgrade Printing of negatives from 2012 (when I was scanning, only). Lower with dry down compensation of 1/6 stop. Adox MCC110 in MCC Developer which I cone to appreciate! #nikonf2 #splitgradeprinting #analogphotography #darkroomphotography #135film #adoxmcc110 #birthday https://www.instagram.com/rolf.schmolling/p/BwZYE6pAixP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2l1tie1naxm4

Burn map for the print: base 3 means test strips with three seconds base exposure followed by 1/4 stop increments for both grade 00 and 5 for manual Splitgrade. Gave me (fresh developer yay!) 4/4 stops exposure for grade 5 and 00 each. Some burn in on the highlights in three of the quinces (1/4 stop each) with grade 00; burning the edges in 1/4 stop each with grade 5; burning in the distracting bright right hand corners high and low with 8/4 stop (both done together). Ilford Multigrade IV FB Matte (mk5) in Adox Adotol konstant (fresh) 3 minutes. #analogphotography #ilfordphoto #darkroomphotography #4x5photography #splitgradeprinting #darkroomunderground https://www.instagram.com/p/BrkQE0DgPoV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1f5e4j0f6z3n4

Result of today’s printing: portrait shot with my newly acquired Nikon F2 Photomic and Nikkor-s.c Auto 1:1.4 on Tri-X 400 @400 developed in Spur Ultraspeed Vario which didn’t work out that well for me as it gave me a heavy base fog and more contrast than I like. #darkroomphotography #darkroomunderground #135film #analogphotography #ilfordphoto #splitgradeprinting #portrait #nikonf2 #availablelight (hier: Hamburg, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BowwbV-ln4Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cdztfh43tcj2
