Hood House Calotype

Another Guillot-Saguez calotype.

I knew I was a bit too close, but forgot that the calotype is a little smaller than the glass holder, and that it would be masked even more when printing. The calotype was also upside down in plate holder ( you can see my pencil mark indicating the back in the upper left corner. ) I'll go back to this place when it is sunny and find a spot further back.

28 November 2025, 2PM overcast and foggy.
Sky LV 14.5, House 12.5, under eaves on porch 11.5, orange tree 10.5.
Decided to expose for 12.5

5x7 Eastman No. 1, Wollensak velostigmat
Exposed 36m @ F/11
4% KI, 1%KBr iodizer
7% AgNO3, 12.5% AA sensitizer

Even though a few things were not going well, the development did seem to go better. There was a faint image visible at the start ( I gave an extra stop of exposure ) 1 scant eyedropper ANS in 100ml ss gallic acid, it seemed to come up pretty well and was done after 19m. The negative is very thin and will be difficult to print. I tried anyway because it is good practice.
