Reworking ideas, or pushing through past campfires happens when hiking the hills between here and there. [ https://webionaire.com/2024/08/13/picture-post-dog-days/ ]

Why is the sky so filled with the same collections … small changes. Do people adapt to the cloud they form– is the netform a structure with a moral. How do the bullies remain the single constant on the hobby sites. What limits our knowing things. Are there different answers to the foundation questions — those the fully naive ask.

Many of the large forums answer without enough thought. They make elevator, quick talk; birds chirping at sunrise. Rarely renewing their craft skill; instead they devalue your observations, being easier to stall themself and you. Sadly, they lose a chance at renewal.

gold toning … compounded to convert …black of silver to … blue.

The google box leads the novice to a few places, populated by a small, diminishing population of people who, most likely, didn’t grasp the foundations in these several books.

There are other reference books, newer, written from the standpoint of a particular photographer’s methods.

Update: I intended to post specifics of my 2005 tests about toning. Have decided that it is best to leave to those interested enough to request them. They formed the basis of my “digital toning” method/ palette. Armed with reflection and a reflection densitometer, inspection lights (two different colors) and you too will be able to make your conversion of chemical print to digital printing.

For those continuing their reading in chemical photography, the distinction between physical development and chemical development will widen your understanding of the nature of development (amplification of latent image).
