Almost a month ago, I posted three wildlife photos made as salted paper prints. In that thread I promised more prints in the same vein.

I finally had some time to prepare some new digital negatives using exposures made over the past several years.

These salted-paper prints (on Hahn. Platinum Rag paper) were made yesterday. (As usual, the scans don't do the prints justice.)

Thanks for looking.

Wow, nice. Finally, a good reason to use digital over film -- I don't see those sitting still to get an RB67 or similar set up and focused...

The same method would work for prints from negatives.

You mean the printing method? Yes, of course, I've made salt prints. I'm talking about getting the insect to sit still long enough -- or are they dead/preserved?

Is the banding on the two prints from printing or the paper? I cannot see that on the first print at all.
