Well guys, this is really stunning. Especially those carbon transfer prints, they make me gape in awe (but the others are also excellent, the cyanotypes,...) When I look at them I clearly understand why we are shooting Large format. Also I understand that one day I will have to start learning those wonderful techniques, when the family allows me enough spare time...

This is the thread for masters. With prints from the masters.

WOW - this threas isn't 24 hours old, and already we have so many interesting techniques represented - and with stunning results!

I have "counted" the techniques represented...

12 different techniques so far (13 actually, but I can't find a name for the one Jnanian posted other than "hybrid"..)

Carbon print
Carbon transfer
VanDyke
Cyanotypi
Oilprint
Bequerel Daguerreotype
ambrotype
Hand-colored silverprint
Platinum/Palladium
Alumitype
Photopolymer gravure
kallitype

Not that this has to be all different techniques, but it is amazing how beautiful all the older techniques are...

Thanks all.

I've never had much of an interest in any of the alternative techniques... well, this thread has caused a 'see' change. I'm totally inspired with the stuff here, particularly Emils site. As a consequence and after a bit of digging around to find some reading material, I've ordered a used copy of ''The Keepers of Light'' and a nice new copy of ''Silver Gelatin''.
