Lone Hall, Lith
Still getting the hang of lith printing, but really enjoying the process of discovery. Similarly, I'm not really a fan of posting a flatbed scan of a darkroom print, but I don't see a way around it!
This is a shot of a building called Lone Hall, on the campus of Arsenal Technical high school in Indianapolis. The clouds this afternoon were too dramatic to ignore, and this stately old structure just called out for a picture. The 180mm made for a dramatic portrait, shooting from ground level as I was, and I ended up really liking the picture.
With lith, the paper seems to make as big a difference as anything else, so I'll note that this was printed on Fomatone MG Classic 542, warm tone, baryta base. In person, the texture is really appealing, and the image looks almost luminescent. Looking forward to further tinkering! (So far it's maddening trying to get cloud definition without losing all detail in the shadows…)
