Black and White Landscapes #1

These two landscapes, made in 1985 (using a large format 4" x 5" monorail camera with the negatives processed using a Pyro based developer) came to light again recently, as I put them in a local art show.

The negatives were scanned on my Epson V700 scanner and printed on an Epson SP2100 pigment printer on archival rag paper. The prints are very good and I think that scanning traditional film negatives and printing them this way is a wonderful analogue / digital hybrid that produces something that is as exquisite as a darkroom print and now as archival.

These images were made at Gypsy Point (near Mallacoota, in Victoria).
