The above image was exposed to direct sun for 10 mins. However, the windows at Uni have a UV protection. I believe this has effected the overall print as I should have taken the contact frame outside. For future if I exposed inside the uni building I would double the time. I am pleased with the look and feel of the image. More clarity is required with the fine detail, this including some of the mid tones and shadow detail. Selection of a good contrasting negative is key to making a good salt print. This is one process that I will continue to experiment until I become proficient. Much much more practice required.
Done well Neil, I would be very pleased if this was my first attempt. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHow long is the shelf life of the silver nitrate solution you made up?
