My Westonish photographs are how I would expect him to portray the areas I went to. The scenario being " Hey Edward, if you can drag yourself away from Charis, how about I take you to Favoritz lighthouse and we take some photographs" and these are the outcome. The outcome, whether its a good tutor report or not is that I have grown to like EW and will continue after this to read him.Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-32710376161053195022011-11-20T15:44:12.599+01:002011-11-20T15:44:12.599+01:00Your eye for detail Nigel is quite something...and...Your eye for detail Nigel is quite something...and I'm sure it will pay off in the final results. I found the 'in the style of' assignment quite a challenging balance between trying to get your output authentic yet retaining your own style and approach...also Weston's era was so different to ours...I look forward to seeing the results.marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391253482055150718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-15622291874604450052011-11-19T19:20:49.477+01:002011-11-19T19:20:49.477+01:00I've spent a little time looking into this and...I've spent a little time looking into this and it's quite fascinating. We talk of the scarcity of silver gelatine paper and chemicals now, but Weston and his ilk had similar problems with papers (especially) being discontinued on a regular basis. Silver Chloride appears to be a favourite, which can still be obtained, though very expensive) and processed with Amidol, produces the warmth of tone that Weston enjoyed.JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-50224252204257267102011-11-18T15:45:27.476+01:002011-11-18T15:45:27.476+01:00John, The tutor versions are on HO everyday satin ...John, The tutor versions are on HO everyday satin with the gloss enhancer on. I may use something more luxurious if I reprint them for assessment.<br />I didnt find anything relevant on Westons materials. Spraymount is OK, but I like dry mounting tissue as its cleaner.Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2368366031789489985.post-14231565407118885792011-11-18T07:30:52.042+01:002011-11-18T07:30:52.042+01:00Interesting reading Nigel.

I'd also be interested in how you've fixed the curling print to the card - I have used Spraymount (I think that was what it was called), but not very successfully.JSUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834926219948734598noreply@blogger.com
