A very beautiful print. Sorry if this a silly question, because you have coated/sealed the original print with gelatin sizing is there any reason why this wouldn’t work on a normal silver gelatin print (that has been contact printed not enlarged)? Thanks

Very Nice Video. Hope you check out mine. I taught English in Vietnam for 6 years. Married a Vietnamese wife and moved to Michigan. I have many beautiful drone videos of Vietnam but I'm new here to Michigan. Do you have any recommendations for flying here in Michigan? There doesn't seem to be a lot of Michigan videos here on KZbin, However, I really like yours. Cheers!

Hi Bill, what do you think about Printmaker's Friend as an alternative to ammonium bichromate? Can that be used over palladium? Thanks
@BillSchwab
@BillSchwab Ай бұрын
@bifcake i’ve been experimenting with it and it is a potentially good alternative. It’s a very nice process in itself, but it takes a bit more time than palladium and gum. You get into periods or you have to wait overnight for things to dry, etc. However, it will work.I just need more time with it.

Legit question: why move the tray around instead of submerging the print in the liquid? Very nice photo nonetheless!!
@BillSchwab
@BillSchwab Ай бұрын
@@orfeassiozos1575 that’s a good question. Sometimes it’s because I don’t have quite enough solution and other times it’s because when submerging the print, it can sometimes get development lines on it and I like to hit as much of the print with the chemistry as fast as I can. It’s more of a personal preference.

One of my favorite photography books is "Andre Kertesz The Early Years" (W. W. Norton & Co., New York, London 2005-ish.) Some of his early (1912-1925) photographs contact printed as 35mm, 6x4.5 and 6x6 prints. Exquisite little photographs! Sometimes small is good. Sometimes small is great!

Getting back to printing after a hiatus of five years (since leaving Michigan). Your tip about the similarity of curves for salt and cyanotype is most appreciated. I already have a good selection of salt print negatives, now ready to start up with cyanotypes... and most excellent for me with limited time and facilities. Thanks, Bill.

I have been wanting to go down this road of mixing my own chemistry for P&P but have been a little apprehensive to go down this path so this video is helpful.. I am a little confused here by the math here. 2.3 gas of Palladium in 25cc solution would be a 9% solution. I thought the standard dilution for palladium is a 15% solution? If so, then wouldn't you need about 3.75gms to make a 15%? thanks
