Family life in the Sixties

This is a photography that my Dad took with his Clack.
I made a Lithprint on old Dalbroma paper and on Record Rapid with
Moersch SE5

First try Paper negatives

Paper is old Record Rapid.  Rodenstock Imagon lens
Developed in Moersch Blue. They are a bit over-exposed. And a lot of dust on the paper!!

Digital negatives

I tried some digital negatives to see if I can get a better result. 

I like the horse print very much. There's a nice tonal range. 

This is an film image from the Hasselblad, scant en printed with the Epson printer

Nice but still not good enough

Flowerpower

In the first instance I sized all the paper, but after some reading I decided to use only Bergger Cot 320 for now an that paper has an internal sizing.

The negative has to be very dense to get that beautiful long tone scale.
It take a lot of time and experimentation before I had some really good results.

Salt printing

I really like to make salt prints from wetplate collodion negatives.
See for the negatives here
Here are my first try-outs.
