Here's a scan of the reclaimed nagative from the previous FP-100C45 shot, using this method:

It went much better than some of my previous attempts. Still got those white dots and a little melting effect in the center of the frame (emulsion moving around when washing?) creating a nebula-like effect :D
Definitly a fun thing to do.
The picture reflects reality. The painting reflects the imagination. When I flip both images, sometimes my eyes don't understand which one is more realistic.

It is my first calotype.
The scan of the negative has been made trying to reproduce how it looks like at visual inspection in reflected light.
I've tried to reverse the image and figure a result.
The scene digital shot is provided too.
Better than nothing, for a first try. In the following days I'll try to wax the paper and print it in some way (salted paper? Albumin?)

I was just curious as to what a negative image of a peacock would look like. Was it worth it? Original photo by John Ward Kelly IV
This is something to think about when negative people are doing their best to
rain on your parade. So remember this story the next time someone
who knows nothing and cares less tries to make your life miserable.
A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with
her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're
crazy to go to Rome. So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their
planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River called
Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be
something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to
see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her
about her trip to Rome .
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of
Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to
first class.
The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who
waited on me hand and foot.
And the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and
now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city.
They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite
at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you
didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard
tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the
visitors,
and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would
personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my
hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who fucked up your hair?"
