    It's very similar, except in salt printing you use salted gelatin instead of albumen and the the tones can be different with different toners used. It's fun, take up your friend on the offer or just dive in with the many tutorials available.

    I remember the boy's picture from the X-ray thread. The print looks much better!

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    This is one I did some time back. Its a contact print from a 5x4 neg. It took me quite a while to get a decent salt print result. I found that even application of the gelatin solution, fuming over ammonia before exposure, then exposing plenty and being careful with the washing helped a lot. It is more "craft" intensive I think than regular darkroom work. The results are beautiful though when done right and I have since bought a load of LF x-ray film intending to use it for some salt prints.

    Nice portrait Woodturner-fran.

    I agree that salt printing is more a craft than regular darkroom work. Each print requires about 4 hours from coating the paper to hanging it up to dry but with the right subject matter the results you get are worth it. I have two new subject in mind and I'll shoot one today and the other hopefully tomorrow.

    Two Nineteenth Century Structures in the Old West, Bodie California



    Now this is what I call "equivalence." Nineteenth Century structures photographed and printed using a nineteenth century process. In this case the printing process actually predates the structures by about 40 years.

    Toyo 810MII, 240 Symmar-S, Fuji Acros. Printed on Bergger Cot320.

    Re: The Salt Print Thread

    UPDATE:

    The handmade one of a kind fine art prints that I posted above will soon be available for purchase at very reasonable prices. Each print was hand processed and printed by the artists using the highest quality materials and toned in gold and/or platinum. As in the nineteenth century the sun was their sole exposure source.

    So stay tuned. I’ll be posting a link where these can be purchased at or you can respond here and I’ll notify you by email.
