Steven,
If you ever expect to produce a quality platinum print, you better be
ready to do a lot of darkroom work. You will have to master getting the
right negatives in order to get a great print. And, don't think you can
work with platinum coatings without a safe light. Incadesent light WILL
fog the coating; recommended is a sodium vapor safelight. If you are
determined in what you say, then I reccommend that you consider
polaroid. Truely then you can stay in the sun. As for anyone who
believes that platinum/palladium prints can be made haphazardly and with
shortcuts, I beg them please to save these precious metals for those who
wish to make fine prints.
Jeff
