[pure-silver] Re: Toning clouds

I have shot a lot of cloud images sort of like that and have made some stunning 
prints on warm tone paper by printing them down enough to have detail in all 
the light areas and then bleaching back portions with Pottas ferricyanide 
(sp?).  The one that I like the best i processed the paper in an amidol mix, 
bleached it selectively and toned it in selenium.  It split toned so that the 
dark areas where quite a bit warmer than the light areas.  Really 3-D looking 
and quite nice.

Nice image by the way

Subject: [pure-silver] Toning clouds

   Hi,

   I've only selenium toned FB paper and I have a question concerning tonin=
g.

   I have a shot of storm clouds, those big thick cumulus clouds..
something like this:

   http://www.jevansgallery.com/images/cloud.jpg

   that I shot this past weekend with the 4x5. I haven't had time to
soup them but IF they come out, I'm curious about how/if to tone them.

   James Evans decided to sepia tone and I am wondering what blue
toning would look like instead. Obviously the best way is to tone and
see but what does a sepia and blue toning do to a print in regards to
detail etc?

    Anyone ever shoot clouds like this and if so, did you tone and with wha=
t?

   Thanks

   J
