Northumberland in Black and White

Lindisfarne

Over the past week or so I’ve been working on the black and white images from the Northumberland trip in December. I’ve been pleased with the results. The image taken on Lindisfarne seen below is probably my favourite and the strongest of the bunch, even managing to catch two Northumberland castle in one image!. On the left is Lindisfarne Castle and on the right, way off on the horizon is the imposing silhouette of Bamburgh Castle.

Back to Selenium

Back in my darkroom days, selenium toner was my toner of choice for new prints. The powerful combination of Agfa Record Rapid and selenium toner was just unbeatable for quality and warmth. After a long period of adding copper toner in Photoshop, Just recently I’ve gone over to digital selenium. So far I’m liking the colder, silvery tones that photoshop produces though I think I need to experiment a little more to refine the tone. The Lindisfarne Causeway image uses selenium rather than the copper featured in the other two images.
