Gold-toned salt print made from a calotype. Printed 5 July 2015.

This is a calotype ( a kind of homemade paper negative ) made at Crane Creek Regional Park in Sonoma County, California. This kind of negative is slow! This exposure was 25 minutes at f/22 on a sunny morning. The paper is 8x11 inches.

Salt Print from calotype. Printed 27 June 2015. Lana Aquarelle HP paper Toned with gold borax toner.

Oak Tree at Luther Burbank's experiment farm in Sebastopol, California I had difficulty with the paper becoming wavy in the holder, and this lens works much better if stopped down a bit. That is why the photo is soft and the edges are not straight and clean. But this is my first full-size calotype on vidalon vellum paper. I'm pleased because some hard parts of this process went smoothly. The paper is 8x11 inches. A salt print is currently washing and I'll probably post it tomorrow. Camera is homemade foamcore fixed focus, lens is one element from a B&L Rapid Rectilinear. Exposure was 14 minutes at f/11. This is a calotype made with the process used by Alexander Greenlaw .

I made this paper negative yesterday, it is very high contrast because it will be used to make a salt print.
