Thanks for posting those, Marek. That is brave of you to post the originals, too. I like the rich red of those. Almost of my gum prints have been made with either pinhole, zone plate, or a toy camera. I made my first couple of gum prints from a lens-based camera only last week. I couldn't believe how much easier it was to register from a sharp, well-defined negative. I had no idea.
I do have a related question maybe you or someone else can answer. I always size my paper, and dry it, outside, and I sized a batch last week when it was unusually cold here. I had my gelatin and hardener in one of those electric pots that keeps warm, but I still had to coat fairly quickly. I've had a lot of gum-printing trouble with that paper ever since. So is that a known problem-- coating gum, or sizing, or hanging it up to dry-- in relatively cold weather? Or should that not make any difference?

They are gum prints made from pinhole photographs. I have done the worst thing by posting the originals as well, but maybe it will create some discussion Marek
Get more done, have more fun, and stay more connected with Windows MobileŽ. See how.
