Last good deed of the day: Cleaning/re-organizing the darkroom, mixing/replenishing chemicals and coating papers with emulsion for tomorrow's printing session...

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... 😩

Preparing the digital negative & letting it dry before tonight's printing session...
(Already inverted the photo to better see the inverted image...)

Photo of a 8x6" digital negative freshly out of the printer. The colors are all inverted to better see the actual image (of the negative)...

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...)

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.

Blue Hour 💙
(well, close enough... UV hour...)
#AltProcess #Kallitype #Darkroom #UVLight

A white table under a strong UV light which is used to expose a kallitype print underneath a thick piece of glass, half covered by a yellow piece of card. Various bottles of photo chemicals are standing in the corner...
