Great result Adam!!!

By far the best home-made silver halide plate I ever saw.

Very nice! I love these beautifully detailed Hindu figurines. Wow that's
a long exposure - you have a basement studio or just a good table?

And the image IS amazingly clean for a homemade plate - Congratulations!

Thanks guys

I don't have a table (yet)- just 30kg oil capacitor on 8" scooter inner tube. Seems to serve well - I've exposed 40' MBDCGs on it with no signs of movement.
No basement lab - I'm exposing in my bathroom (concrete floor, easy to darken, access to tap water), but in the 2nd floor.

greetings
Adam

Hello Very Very good

Holy wow!
That's gorgeous.
I long for the time to come when I can make images that clean and clear.
I feel like I seem to see the image brightest when I catch a glimpse of your reconstruction light - was your reference beam normal to the plate? Is it a Denisyuk? Still learning, so please pardon me if these are silly questions...

Hi Justin.
It's a Denisyuk, the beam was almost perpendicular to the plate.
There are no silly questions - just silly answers
