Oaks at Ragle Ranch Park in Sonoma County, California.
Printed 3 February 2018

Salted paper print of a calotype.
7x11 inch image on 9x13 Strathmore 500 drawing paper.

Toned in gold borax and platinum. Sorry I can't get the color right... it's subtle and nice: midtones remind me of the color with vinegar instead of citric acid in the silver nitrate. The darkest shadows were just starting to turn a sooty black when I stopped the toning.

Burbank memory

The "plant wizard" Luther Burbank had experiment plots at this location which is now in the middle of the city of Santa Rosa. His widow sold the land to Santa Rosa Jr. College in 1930, and it was maintained as a park for about 20 years. It is now the site of the Santa Rosa Jr. College campus. The old oak tree on the left would have been here when Burbank was alive, and there are many beautiful old heritage oaks on the campus.

Another "direct paper positive" made with a pinhole camera. Bleach with weak H2O2 and redeveloped in thiourea. 7x11 inches.

Taylor Mountain Trail

Today at Taylor Mountain Regional Park in Sonoma County, California.. my little coffee can pinhole camera was sitting in the middle of the trail and my dog was lying there waiting patiently when another group came along with a dog so I picked it up after 4 minutes.... was planning to go a bit longer but I like how it came out anyway :)

Another "direct paper positive" redeveloped in thiocarbamide. It's a bit difficult to get midtones with the thiocarbamide ( compared to re-exposing and developing w/ paper developer ) .. you can see some good midtones in the pool of sunlight just in front of the camera, but that was quite bright. I'm learning that if you want to develop these in sepia, you need to give more exposure or it ends up like a notan.

Alexander Greenlaw's process calotype.

7x11 Eastman No. 2, uncatalogued Wollensak lens.

4PM sun fairly low. LV 10 on trunk, 11 mid-scene, 12 brightest light through branches.
1 hour @ F/16

Development: 1.4g gallic acid in 200ml DH2O. Added 2-1/2 eyedroppers ANS, image was most faintly visible at start, came up normally. Stopped development at 28 minutes. Wash 2x5m DH2O, fix 2x10 minutes in hypo, 3m in sodium sulfite, wash 1.5 hours in changes of RO water. Dried for 2+ days between 3 changes of blotter.

I didn't notice any pinholes or black spots or defects on this calotype, which goes along with the idea that they get better after the 1st one goes through replenished sensitizer.

Wind!

There was a photographer at the park photographing a couple and their baby, and for about 5 minutes they all were in this view. I can't see them, but I have an almost subliminal sense that I can tell they were there....

Paper negative. Sometimes I like the negative better than the positive...

The mid-afternoon light was flat, and I think I will come back and photograph this tree from the other side.

Something I never noticed before, but makes sense if you think about it: as I walked around the park, I noticed that for every tree, if I stood where you could see the trunk and branches then I was looking into the sun. Of course the leaves grow and spread out more on the side of the tree that faces the afternoon sun!
