Shot on my Graflex. The new Portra 400.

Same story. I've been so busy this year that I haven't had much time to play with my cameras much less my beloved 5x4. So finally I decided to take a picutre of it together with my favorite lamp, the Rosy Angelis from Flos.

This is a nod to the original ad for the lamp which had the designer, Philippe Starck, peeking under the skirt (lamp shade).

I had always seen the similarities of the lamp and the LF camera (the tripod legs, the belows and the pleated shade) but I only thought of the ad last night.

Haven't been posting here for a while, but still playing around with light and chemicals.

I have been experimenting with the salt process over the last year or so, off and on, without great success until today.

The 8×10 negative from which this sun-exposed contact print was made is on Fomapan 100 sheet film, exposed in the Sinar P for 60 seconds at f64 and developed in TMAX developer (1+4) for 6.5 mins at 22 degrees C. The lens used was a vintage 9″ Apotal. It is a contrasty negative but seems well-suited to salt printing.

The paper is Daler Rowney Aquafine Smooth watercolour, sized with gelatin. After drying it was coated with an ammonium chloride base coat, tweaked with potassium dichromate, using a 3″ Japanese hake brush. When dry, a solution of silver nitrate was freshly made and the paper coated. A 3″ foam brush was used and the paper dried in darkness using a drying cabinet.
