Contact printing frame

I was lucky enough to have a simple timber 5x4" contact printing frame made for me for Christmas and the experiments so far show that a contact prints detail is far superior - to my eyes - than a scanned image.


Although I am using Ilford Multigrade IV paper I am not for the early experiments using and filters to contrast correct and there is some detail in the sky as the yellow filter and neutral density filters were both used.

Both photos are as they were developed no adjustment after scanning .. so you can see the out of line horizon etc .


I hope you had a good Christmas ..
