I do...

What about this one: Painted with light - liquid emulsion on heavy paper - toned and then coloured using oil paint.... (mixed media?)

Great!

That's really quite fantastic, gandolfi!

Thank you very very much!

Yes, that one is equally fascinating! I love these, keep them coming!

I used Foma photo-paper in my 5x7 camera. Exposing time 8 hours with f16. You see a very soft lime "negativ" on the paper. I scanned it and made a positive with lightroom. Next days I will try it again.You can see, that somebody moved one chair two times. I found nothing about this techniques in the internet. Is there no name of flickr-group ? I think when you make outside a picture exposing the hole day that you will see no shadows.

So... what exactly did you do? No development?

I've heard these referred to as "retina prints." I'm not sure if there's a flickr group specifically for this.

Its basically a lumen print with a lens. I've done 8x10 contact prints just using the sun and they look much the same.

This was a difficult shooting day. I actually took this picture last year and tried to print it in salt to no avail. I was trying to trouble shoot issues out in the field with 1 model and 4 helpers looking on. Stressful when you're kneeling down in the dirt!
This is a wet plate negatives so of course everything went wrong that day. And a expensive day that was! The models hairdo alone was a whopping $120.00 (a very nice recreation of Tippy Hedren's hairdo from the Birds). After shooting 6 12x20 glass plates I still didn't get the image right due to fogging from a tiny light leak in the bellows. I thought it was over exposure and kept changing my exposure times. On the last plate, one of my helpers hit my camera with the reflector and caused the motion blur on the arm. But, it was the best image of the day. It wasn't until I started making Oil prints that I was able to resurrect this image. As all of you know, the paper image looks far better than the computer one. As a side note this is one of my favorite models (daughter of my wife's best friend) she was 12 at the time of this picture. And....those are fake birds that I bought on Amazon.
