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

Phone picture of a 8x10" piece of paper with a slightly smaller kallitype print of a high alpine mountain landscape. The picture shows the view of deep valley with a long smooth glacial ridge leading up to snow covered peaks. A band of forest is running down the slopes in the foreground, still mostly in the shade, but a small area near the edge which is catching the morning sun.

My #AltProcess #Kallitype development/printmaking journey is already showing strong parallels to my software dev experience, i.e. a preference for avoiding monolithic frameworks and building more granular, reliable, understandable & controllable tooling myself, and get much better & mor…

Two 4x6 kallitype salt prints of a computational artwork (physics sim). The right one is the untoned test sheet with additional grayscale gradients to check response of different exposure times. The left one is the final toned print with more neutral black-brown tones.

Does anybody know of any reasons behind the current shortage of photo & fineart papers, at least in central Europe? Hahnemühle Platinum Rag, Bergger COT, Ilford Multigrade... all out of stock at my usual suppliers and only expected again in weeks/months. Only the more uncommon variations (super large/expensive or very small) are available immediately... 😩
