Lith print on Fomatone 131, untoned
This is a view outside our kitchen window. When I put the bird box up its position was not pre-determined, I just fixed it in what I thought would be a good position.
Some time later, I looked at the tree and saw that the arrangement was quite remarkable, creating this rather amusing scene.

Print on Kentona(?) paper, 2nd-pass lith development.
Original print on – I believe – untoned Kentona paper in D-163 developer, then fully bleached in ferricyanide and redeveloped in Ansco 70 lith developer. The curious split-toning that has resulted was an unexpected bonus.
(I must try and remember to write on the back of my prints before processing so that I know which paper I’ve used. I always forget to do that in my haste to see what it looks like developed!)

Lith print on Foma Nature 532.
From an old 120 negative that had a processing fault resulting in a mottled bubble effect over the lower half. It never worked as a normal print because of this, but the lith process conceals the irregularities somewhat. The first print I’ve made by the lith method using Foma Nature 532 paper, developed in LD-20.
