Re: Here's the print scan!
I see, then (again purely subjectively - my taste) I'd say the original (beautiful/successful) image is a little bit contrasty to be interpreted in Pt/Pd. Like some of the (again beautiful/successful) images of Neal. What I personally like most in Pt/Pd is the long long long tonal range w/ full detail... A similar image (pop LiPd, 11x14"): http://www.loris.medici.name/atolye/content/Loris_Medici_005_large.html Much more grainy than yours -> due to the poor scan from the (almost 6x4.5 cropped) 6x6 negative + inferior transparency media I was using back then... Plan to re-process this one in the future. Illuminated parts of rocks and caverns show tonal differantiation (Zone VII-VIII and III-II, respectively) in the actual print. 20 Mart 2009, Cuma, 9:57 am tarihinde, Paul Viapiano yazmış: > Loris... > > There may be a tiny hair more detail in the darkest areas, in the original > file, but not much...and I would say the scan is a bit more contrasty than > the print.
