I just discovered your channel an I'm in the process of binge watching many of your videos. Loving your down to earth presentation. Keeping the image away from direct sunlight as you would most photographs, how permanent is the salt printing process? Oh and by the way Louis Daguerre did not give his process away he received an annual pension of 10,000 francs by the French government for his patent.

1 thank you, 2 if the salt print is probably cleaned of fixer then it should last a while, (we still have the originals from Talbot today) but I’m not sure if it’s an archival process in the way platinum is, I did not know that France paid him, I prefer the angle that Britain doesn’t nurture its inventors. Because it’s true.

Try “modern photographer tries ww1 camera” it’s an autographic Jnr so similar, also I tried a model D in the 110 year old camera video, not sure if they are the same size but the gate mask stls for the Jnr are on the Olitography site.

@@olitography it's 118 film originally, I modified the film gate for height and got some 3d printed spool adapters but didn't modify width and it gives a really wide shot. According to Wikipedia 118 film was 3 1/4 X 4 1/4 in inches so would have had nice large negatives

I suppose it was inevitable that my attraction to clumsy old view cameras would lead to a love of clumsy old photographic processes but I've been printing in salt for several years now and absolutely love the prints. If I could be so impulsive I'd like to mention a couple of things I've learned. Please feel free to delete if I'm out of order (my wife says that I was born out of order and I guess after 43 years she ought to know.) Take every precaution to avoid getting silver nitrate in your eyes. If you get it on your skin, rinse it off immediately. It will stain anything it touches a dark brown. Wears off of skin in a week or two. Pretty much permanent stains in clothes. Goggles recommended and if you're working with the powder, wear a face mask so you don't breathe the dust. I use a brush to brush the salt solution and the silver nitrate solution onto my paper. Salt printing can be frustrating in that it glaringly reveals every scuff and scratch on the surface of your paper. When using a brush, brush gently. Use a separate brush for the silver nitrate that you don't use for any other purpose. Silver nitrate is very, very sensitive to contamination of any kind. Silver nitrate is sensitive to ultraviolet light. Sunlight is rich in UV and flourescent bulbs emit UV as well, as do some LEDs. You can perform all of the preparatory work in a space illuminated solely by incandescent lights but keep the paper away from daylight, flourescent or LED lights until you're ready to expose it. How much to expose the paper to UV light is the most difficult thing to learn. Immediately after exposure the image will be very dark. It will lighten considerably and adopt a pinkish tone during the first wash, then darken again and turn brown during fixing and the final wash. It will continue to darken as it dries but won't get as dark as it was right after exposure. It takes some practice to judge how dark of an exposure is dark enough.

Thank you for your enthusiastic and detailed comment, I’ll pin it. There are are many parts of a process like this that it can’t detailed in video, (if you want people to watch it) as 99% of viewers might Be interested but will never actually try it themselves.

Are modern negatives too fine in their composition. Victorian era photos seem more granular, more blurry. But then you are replicating the printing process, and maybe not the replicating the emulsions of the time. Whatever, thankyou, always informative.

Callotype negatives were made on paper, as the paper was not fully transparent the texture would come through to the print giving the grainy appearance, I’ll try a collotype negative at some point , but would need access to a darkroom.

One of the best videos I've seen about salt print. I have a question at what point do I add the gelatin? Would it be in the preparation of water and salt or would it be in the dilution of silver nitrate?

It’s been a while but I don’t recall use g gelatine for the basic salt print. You could use it stop the solution stacking into the paper. And give a crisper print. But then you could also make an albumen print by coat I guess the paper with egg white.
