Split-grade printing on Ilford multigrade paper. Enlarger set at f11. Whole image given 16 seconds through Ilford Multigrade filter "00"

Top left corner "Cityscape" given additional 20 seconds through Ilford Multigrade filter "0".

Whole image given 12 seconds through Ilford Multigrade filter "5".

Aim: Taken near St Catherine’s Dock, London. It was low tide and I spotted this fellow walking along the "beach" engrossed with his metal detecting. Lighting was poor due to high walls either side of this inlet from the main river and the overcast sky. Cityscape included to add interest.

This image was taken many years ago but I could never print it successfully on single grade papers. However, the versatility of variable contrast papers and split grade printing made printing a possibility.
