A photo of an ordinary object just hanging around the house? Right up my alley. I like this a lot.

Toyo 45CF, 90mm Grandagon, Fuji Acros. Salt print on Bergger Cot 320 and toned for 22 minutes in Gold Borax.

This is one of 4 salt prints that I made this afternoon which are really time consuming - especially when you factor in toning. Note: The actual print is (sigh) waaay better than the scan above.

Looks like you have nailed it.

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.

Thanks David and Claudio.

I'm really impressed with the quality of the images that the salted paper process is able to produce. In another print that I made last weekend, the blue sky was darkened as you would expect in a modern silver gelatin print but the white cloud/fog bands printed paper white. I've read that the older 19th century film reproduced a blue sky as a white but not so with this process. True, I was contact printing from a modern panchromatic negative but I am confident that I would have got the same results if I printed in-camera.

Oh, the color of the toned prints are a light burgundy/purple-black - nice looking IMO.

It's prints like this that make me think I really should do salt. Beautiful.
