Salt Print update.

I made the best print yet. This is my baseline in terms of negative, process.

Time and experimentation will tell, but for now I aim to make a series of prints with the same result.

Before and after toning with Selenium.

I toned as a chance experiment really. If I had got it out of the toner faster, it initially had an increase in contrast too, before it bleached back....

The Salt Process for me is right at the beginning really, so I am learning what I can produce with the basic inputs with an intention to build on these results.

At least I am getting images, even if tone/contrast, coating technique needs work...

Spent today starting to calibrate digital neg's/printer ink densities/printing times for the Salt Process.

I'm about to begin round 2 of that process....

Here is my 1st attempt.
