I like this image and, it strikes me, it would look good on whatever medium it was printed. What is the background Lasse.

The background is my kitchenwindow.

Mycket vacker! Did you soak the paper in developer before exposure?

The paper is soaked in a solution of 10% sodiumnitrite and dried aand after that used as
POP paper.

What's POP paper? What do you mean 'exposed in the sun' , does that mean natural light? Is there a simple book that describes these processes?

POP = Printing out paper. I use contactframes and put the negative in on a prepared paper
Exposing in the sun between 5 minutes - 2 hours. The UV-amount is variable during season and weather. My contactframes is made so I could open the halv and check the exposure.
When I have to take the frame inside the house and look in ordinary lightbulb light....
I think you culd found diffrent ways to use this POP in diffrent old books and so on..

I hope this will Help

Thank you!
Sometime also I'd like to ask about using my new-to-me Sinar Norma. Your images are lovely and inspiring, but what I need before I can ask much is lots of practice and many mistakes. I'm doing quite well with the latter! Maybe the LF forum is a better place, but you're the only Norma user I've found here.

A lovely image. I have some POP paper which I have'nt tried out yet as am trying to organise some way of holding paper and neg together but be able to look at progress of development without disturbing the alignment.

Beautiful image, great work.
