Holga impressionism

When I had developed a roll of Fuji Neopan Acros 100, taken with the microclick-technique with my Holga, I felt a bit inspired to try something new in my darkroom.

I had some bleach chems I hadn’t used yet. So, after a regular development in Ilford Multigrade developer for black and white prints, I tried Moersch Bleach, redeveloped in Multigrade, bleached again and finally toned the print in Tetenal Goldtoner.

I must admit I had almost no clue what I was doing, because I did not take the proper time to read the whole chapter in Tim Rudman’s excellent book “The Toning Book”

But I’m quite happy with the result anyway. Just playing in the darkroom was great fun, gonna do it again! 😀

Enjoy!
