Au Cœur... diagonalhorizon's favorite photos

Behind a handcrafted yarn store... This was painted flat barn red and is not overexposed after 6 minutes! ( Normal exposure would be around 40 or 45 seconds in full sunlight like this ) I tried this a week ago with a 1 minute exposure and the result was almost blank. Direct pinhole paper positive using mostly safer chemicals, re-developed in thiocarbamide.

Oaks at Ragle Ranch Park in Sonoma County, California. Printed 3 February 2018 Salted paper print of a calotype . 7x11 inch image on 9x13 Strathmore 500 drawing paper. Toned in gold borax and platinum. Sorry I can't get the color right... it's subtle and nice: midtones remind me of the color with vinegar instead of citric acid in the silver nitrate. The darkest shadows were just starting to turn a sooty black when I stopped the toning.
