I created this image in February 2009 at Alexandra Palace. It was snowing heavily, and this test print is an attempt at getting somewhere close to a mood I’m hoping to build on for the final version. I’m happy with the mid-tone contrast, but the shadows could be darker, and the highlights dustier for the final print. The half frame directly below is nice and moody, but a bit too flat… I’m off to find some middle ground!
The figures at the top show temperature, humidity, the month/year the developer was mixed, and the drop count of Ferric Oxalate Sensitiser, contrast agent, Palladium and Platinum. As always, I make and live with a test print before committing the valuable Platinum to a larger, final version.
