Many thanks.
I had a lot of trouble getting the change from ‘almost white to almost black’ with this one – my ineptitude with digital was tripping me up !
With a fibre print it would have been easy – pick the right paper and test strip, then it’s only a case of ‘dry-down’ and voilà….. I follow A/A’s maxim “the negative is the score & print the performance” but we are getting there I think.
I use Canon Pro Premium Matte PM-101 with my PIXMA Pro9000 which gets me a similar look, but it’s not an intuitive process. One of these days I will buy one of the dedicated B&W printers (when I can justify the expense) then get someone more skilled to teach me.
Non of which is readily available here in Oman and I never have time when I visit UK; but, developing an escape plan which means I will eventually have lots of time for indulging in all thing photographic. Far more fun than fixing radar.
Sand dunes – toned.

Ahh…the word I want to describe this is “subtile”. Well executed David.
Many thanks.

That is absolutely stunning. Love how the tone ranges emphasises and highlights the ripples on the dune.
Much appreciated – I must admit it was a hard one keeping control of the dynamic range for screen as opposed to print.

Very nice.
Thanks very much Murray.
