AD5803 - Second Print

I am particularly happy with this portrait, since I believe is one of the strongest shot of my project.

I did the first test on resin coated paper. The test strip went pretty well, I exposed for 12s at aperture 16 with a 2.5 filter. I noticed that the face needed to be dodged, but when I printed the full print I had a problem with the timer and I exposed it for way too long (anyway it was framed upside-down so I could not use it anyway).

Since I really like the picture I decided that maybe it would have worth to print on fibre base instead of resin coated paper and so I did.

The print did not look bad overall, but it definitely needed some adjustments, like dodging the face and an extra stop of exposure. I knew that I would not use it as a final print, but I decided to wait until I got more confident with printing before doing another attempt with that particular picture.

The settings that I used are:

Exposure: 12s

Aperture: 16s

Grade: 2.5

Final print settings:

Paper: fibre based

Aperture: f16

Exposed: 9s

Need to dodge the face
