Hello,
having come across what seems to me a quite cheap source of silver nitrate,
I am thinking of trying some salt prints.
I have a question which I did not find clearly addressed in the literature:
What are the tonal values of the process? I know long-scale negativs are
needed, but what about the mid-tones? How does the process fare in relation
to, say, platinum?
What I really mean is probably: is the process really worth the effort, or
is the main attraction its antiquity? I would be grateful for any input.
Second, is sodium chloride okay for salting (as said in "spirits of salts")?
Lukas
