Re: Gum over Platinum print II
Cor, I think I liked the first one better, although it seems to have
been replaced by the new one so I can't compare them except in my
memory. I liked the subtler tonalities of that one, FWIW.

I have uploaded a second version, this time I took a darker
platinum print and used a mixture of Burnt Sienna:Azo Yellow Deep
about 2:1, short exposure, 4 hours soak
I could only match the colour approximatly, anyway...

Subject: Gum over Platinum print
Since the list is in a image sharing mode (which is great, I love
to see the work of others!) I would like to share a first result
(it is still work in progress) of my regretfully infrequent alt
printing adventures:

GumOverPlatinum.html
The details, for those interested:
I started out with a Kodak Infrared negative (35mm). It was made
during our trip in May to Turkey. This one is from the wonderfull
area of Cappadocia, near the town Neveshir (Judy: the girl running
towards me on the image is my daughter, one of the twins..).
I made enlarged negatives from it by revearsal a la Liam Lawless (I
still work completely analogue..perhaps I am as we say in dutch "De
laatste der Mohikanen"..leave the translation to you..;-).... I
made several negatives with different Dmax densities by altering
the flash time.
My idea was to print a high contrast image with platinum, and than
fill in with gum to lower the contrast and to add colour (with a
low contrast negative).
The paper I used is Canson Fonteney, smooth side, pre-shrunk but
not sized (I hate sizing, and I know that this paper can take a few
gum layers without staining).
Only one gum coat is there: a weak Burnt Sienna.
And know I have to think what next, keep it as such, or add some
other colour (I am primairly a B&W person, scored a meager 37 on
the colour IQ test..;-)..)
Still have a few high contrast PT prints that need filling in, I
am thinking about yellow..
Best,
Cor
