Yes, of course!
Replying by simply pointing out that all historical literature explains that printing in direct sun gives less contrast probably would help little to convince you… But I just bumped into the actual...
How do you expose the prints? Contrast can be increased by having less strong light - i.e. when printing with sun, try printing in open shade, or on cloudy and rainy days…
Beautiful! Is it...

Thomas, beautiful work - your salt prints are getting better and better! :)
The comparison is wrong - in one case you deal with different halides of one metal. Platinum and palladium are different metals. And, as you pointed out earlier, one is more precious than the...
Selling that as "platinum print" would be plain fraud.
Yes yes, precisely my point… "It looks like platinum, but it isn't - therefore I call it platinum".
Sure - but that's… cheating, isn't it? Reminds me of that joke about the baker making...
Beautiful work, Tri! But I always wonder why it's called "platinum print" when platinum itself is just a small percentage… Wouldn't it rather be "palladium print"? :)
Oh yes! Thanks Ed :) and that last one is fantastic - beautiful lady, beautiful pose and composition, beautiful processing!

Ed, those first two you posted where both incredibly beautiful - the first one rather unsettling, I have to say… But in the sequence, once seen the first, I can't get rid of some strange feeling...
Wow, a beautiful print! I am a bit surprised at the *green* tone, though - is it really that green as I see it on my screen? I know gold toning as turning prints more towards purple.

Thank you, Scott!
I have learned from paper conservators to use a vaporizer to spray some water on the paper just to raise the paper's humidity a bit. You can also try doing this with a mix of water and alcohol, that...
Beautiful setting, beautiful light. Beautiful model, beautiful photographs. And there is this rhythm being unveiled: those dark spots (I don't know how that is called in English…) just under her...

Hi Thomas,
I don't know whether James is wrong - but I know that historically salt prints were fixed for far longer than that. Always, without exceptions (to my knowledge). Thus also the...
Hi Thomas, beautiful prints! On the technical side, I am a bit surprised by your very short fixing times - are you sure you are fixing enough? Salt prints require significantly longer fixing than...
Thank you for the comment! As for the "out of focus", and also the "ghosting", you are right - they *are* out of focus, and there is also some ghosting (I am surprised you notice it only in the...

What you are talking about are the "measles", how they were called in times past. The spots on my print are not that, they are of some different nature - they are rather large and have the shape of...

Hah! Thank you, yes - the day there'll be no more film and no more paper… I'll be dead anyway! But I am getting ready for that future :D
Hehe, thank you… It's part of the game, see whether you succeed to enjoy it the way it is… Specially for us photographers it is a tough one…
I love your bromoils, you do some extraordinary work!
…too much time behind a view camera, and the world looks upside-down…
