Salted print from a calotype negative. Testing materials I needed to make a couple of exposures and verify if the Silver Nitrate solution (12%) was still OK to use. Exposure made a day after sensitization, on Pelegry dry paper method. Proved clean and more sensitive than expected. Therefore, the white of the fennel was veeeery hard to print. Also the blade of the knife where there are two droplets of water is a challange. The beetroots were dark red so I spayed them with water and give them more lively texture. The knife is my favoured root knife, used daily in making food.
Half plate size. Paper Hahnamühle Platinum Rag.
3% Ammonium Chloride with 2% Sodium Citrate (no gelatin) sensitized with 10% Silver Nitrate (no citric acid) exposed over 4 hr. under a strog lamp (36.000 Lux) . The long printing time adds to the cool tone. First time using 2% Sod. Citrate to influence contrast.
