RE: Lumin prints tests

George,

all those test prints are on Ilford Warm Tone FB, straight out of the
plastic bag

FWIW, I'm waiting for about a week to fix them (top row), then see if
there is any improvement in the rentention of the beautiful colors

I played around with the some today. The results I got were not as
even as I
would have thought. I tried Ilford MGIV, Ilford Warm Tone, and two
sheets of
Brovira. I placed decayed leaved on reach and placed within frames.
I
expected the different papers to give me varied results, but the two
sheets of
Brovira came out differently, which I thought was odd. I got some
nice
coloration with one of them (though not nearly to the extent as the
images in
the link provided, which makes me wonder if they were treated with
S2/S30 -
unfortunately, most of the color went away with fixing and toning) but
nothing
with the other. Exposure time was about six or seven hours, with some
of the
time not being in direct sunlight.

Alas, like one other poster I, too, tossed several hundred sheets of
expired
paper about nine months ago in my attempt to reduce clutter. Perhaps
eBay will
be helpful inthat regard. I will try again tomorrow with some other
ideas and
perhaps my results will be a little more interesting.

Cheers -
