a 5x12 palladium print, with just a hint of NA2 for contrast. This is an example of how far NA2 goes - my recipe was 10 drops Pd, 10 drops FeOx, 1 drop 2.5% NA2.
It would be hard to imagine this shot being done better. The toning gives some aging to the look, a little like one would expect to find in a museum archive or encyclopedia.
There's no "toning" happening here - this is how a palladium print looks out the gate. I can push the color around a bit by changing the chemical composition (blending platinum in for example, or using a different contrast agent like gold chloride), but the warm brown is what palladium does by nature.
