SALT PRINTING First attempt

[JOHN McMURTRIE]

It actually worked! The formula appears to be bang on for the conditions today. I just love the colour the print turns the second it goes into the fix! Not sure what I will do different next time. This is by far the most enjoyable experience in photography ever! Loved it! Thanks for everyones advise here.

are you using photo chemistry outside on bare soil?..... fixer might not be the most hazardous material but it sure aint great to spill that in the open. :-(

Otherwise, nice print!

Calm down! Just the wash outside in the garden. Fixer is safely put back in a bottle. I think China win the gold medal for poisoning the planet right now!

I love reading posts like this. Contact printing a printing out process is so much fun. It's my favorite part of photography too.
