yeah! :)

cool!

I like that first one and the second has interesting colors... hmm... developing in room-light... hmmm. Only time I've done that was for sabattier. You're making me want to go out and make some...

Dave that's a nice shot.

Hi John :)

Not seeing the scan but I'd like to. I've used hc110 a few times to develop paper negatives, it's very nice but it gets a bit expensive.

Thanks for sharing that, nicely done! I like 8x10 or 7x11 contact prints from paper negatives. I don't really think the 5x7 or the 122 "postcard size" are a waste, but definitely admit liking...

good job on the sky, not easy with paper negatives. The water looks great too!

( actually... you can get fantastic sky with paper negatives if you expose for the sky... but the foreground tends...

+1 :)

Good job Barry! Hi Don!

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I much prefer using the sun. UV lamps mostly for test prints.
I suspect it might not matter as much if you use DN.

Very cool! Of course I love the salt print!

Couple times a week

Feel like I've seen this before, maybe in color? But not this version. Very nice!

Wow, I really love this one. Gorgeous.

Good luck!

Perhaps someday you might enjoy making contact prints from them. I have many more contact prints from mine than scans....

and, if the borders are clean using rubylith, it helps rule out the substrate

(for my very long exposures salt printing paper negatives, rubylith eventually leaks too much UV and the borders...

No personal experience with this, but seems like
there may be other explanations besides ink opaqueness... thickness of the substrate, light piping in it, reflectivity of the inner surfaces,...

Very nice!

Thank you, very interesting!

That looks great Holden. You used a silver contact print as an inter-positive and then made a dup negative on x-ray film... was that because you wanted a different contrast or density range for...

Thank you! Amazing that it is still going!

Thanks Thomas.

Abney's book(s) can be found on Google Books, also I think Burbank's or Hunt's manuals might have a description of the process. I think the original 1869 photographic news article...

Thanks to all, very helpful.

Colonel Alexander J Greenlaw made calotypes in India in the mid 1850s, and particularly 1855 and 1856. I would appreciate any speculation about what kind of lens he might have used, and where it...

This is excellent!

Well done, Tony.

Nice one Holden!

Gorgeous!

That's really nice Thomas, lots of parts working together...

I love these and this one is wonderful... wish I could see what it looks like in person.

Very cool!

Very nice! This is somewhere along the Colorado River?

I love the feeling that the air is filled with light

+1 I really enjoy seeing them too. I'd like to know what kind of vellum you use. Thanks!

Lovely!

Beautiful and a great story all's well that ends well! That will make a gorgeous print.

I make nearly all my prints using split-grade, and it's interesting to see how different the thinking is. I think about my prints in terms of highlights, highlight detail, mids, mid separation....

Very dramatic photograph, I'll bet it looks beautiful in person!
