RE: My first platinum-palladium over gold leaf prints
You're welcome, these really are amazing. They remind me of the daguerreotype, because of the shiny support, except of course these have a gold color instead of the silver of the daguerreotype. Also here the support provides the hilights while the image forming particles provide the shadows, the reverse of the daguerreotype. Gregory PS: I have read that it is possible to get a gold color on the daguerreotype with prolonged (cold) gold chloride toning... I believe this is in Humphrey's handbook. These make me feel like trying it! -----Original Message----- From: Katharine Thayer [mailto:kthayer@pacifier.com] Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 9:04 PM To: alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca Subject: Re: My first platinum-palladium over gold leaf prints Okay, I'll do it.
