So while I have been trying to set up a small work space for Carbon printing I decided to try my hand at Salt printing, and probably Cyanotype later, to hopefully help build some skills for when I take on Carbon printing at home.

This is my first attempt at Salt printing and it was pretty much all just guesswork along the way. For a curve I just created a levels adjustment and dragged the middle slider, exposure was a random guess and a quick inspection. Surprisingly it turned out fairly well.

From doing this print I have learnt a number of things.
1 I need to work on my coating method. In the top left the light area I suspect is from uneven coating of the salt solution.
2 My highlights are nice and clean so I have no problems with fogging from stray light in my work space.
3 At the top and bottom of the image I can see where the negative film was is lighter than where no film was so I think I need to give some extra exposure.
4 My print is a bit dark so I need to work on a proper curve for this method.

Overall it was quite a fruitful exercise and has given me a number of points to work on.

Following on my last post and my trip to Melbourne.

Colours are off, highlights blown. It’s far from a decent print, but it is my first ever 4 Colour Carbon Transfer print.
I’m pretty happy it came out as well as it has.

It is a slow labour intensive process with a lot of opportunity for mistakes, but I absolutely loved making the prints. So much so that I’m already ordering what I need to set up at home and start making prints.
Going to be lots of learning coming my way.

Powering through the Fog - Bective - NSW.

So tomorrow I’m off on a bit of a trip. Two days drive down to Melbourne, taking the scenic route, as I do.
I am going to be doing a Colour Carbon Printing workshop at Gold Street Studios.

I have chosen a variety of images, some nice and soft such as this one, and some more full on and contrasty.
Very exciting, can’t wait to get into it.

Halls Creek Church - Manilla.

Yep it’s been a while. Just a quick post in response to a Black & White challenge from my friend over at Insta:
So even though I mostly shoot colour, because that’s how I see things, I do dabble at times in Black & White.

Gloucester Tops National Park.

I was preparing these images for the latest View Camera Australia online exhibition and thought they were worthy of sharing again.
Only one will be chosen for the exhibition.
What would your choice be?

E Type Jag at the National Transport Museum Inverell.

The plaque boldly stated the fastest E Type on the planet.
I wouldn’t be surprised with a great whopping twin turbo V8 shoved in there.

So excited I just had to share this.

Following on from my last post this is the first of the larger prints from my new printer.

Totally stoked how this has come out.

So I purchased myself a printer.
These are the first few serious test prints to come of it. Have to say it is an interesting learning curve. I am noticing things in the prints more than when viewing the images on screen.

Does feel good to see the images on paper though.

Both images shot on my Chamonix 4x5 large format camera.
