Which section would be most appropriate depends on the nature of the discussion. The discussion, however, should be about the printing process (and/or the aesthetics involved), not the method of image capture.
    I promised my self not to go into this discussion, but now I am confused, and would like to understand..
    (bear with me - I am a dumb Dane...)

    If this is true, then Sandy's images shouldn't have been deleted(?).
    He mentioned his camera, but the reason for showing it was - to quote you again: "The discussion, however, should be about the printing process (and/or the aesthetics involved)..."

    reading the discussion (and being a dane with limited english knowlegde), it is exactely what Sandy argued he did (?)

    Or was the mentioning of the original camera his crime?

    I find it fascinating that almost ALL cameras can be used as start tool for alternative printing - it all ends up being unique LF images.

    Highly inspiring, I must say.
    Good to know!! I pass all this great information on to my students, and that way I lure them into Lf photography.
    How great is that?

    You seem to be saying that digital printing is supposed to be discussed in the Lounge. Is that correct?

    Collin,
    I looked through Rudman's toning book but didn't see anything on brewing pd/pt toner, and I don't see anything on Photographers Formulary in a kit form. Do you have a good source for mixing up such? thanks. Paul

    Re: post alternative techniques

    I thought I would post this image here because the print is a carbon transfer print. The nice thing about this process is the total control or lack thereof of the process. This image has some artifacts around the breast area that may be due to poor filtering of the glop or phases of the moon. The really great thing is the tonal range in the shadows. Still working on this image to get it right.

    Re: post alternative techniques

    anything on brewing pd/pt toner
    From Dick Stevens book on Kallitypes:
    Platinum toning bath:
    1.25 ml potassium chloroplatinate 20% solution
    12.5 ml sulfuric acid
    distilled water to make 250 ml solution

    For Palladium toning bath, substitute sodium tetrachloropalladite 20% solution

    It was so nice and inspiring when this thread was about photos and not words... If you have to have a discussion about your conflicts, does it have to be here on this thread?
