Morning Coffee

I don't generally post my boo-boo's but for any of you out there wanting to get into Salted Paper printing, a continuous light source is essential. I prefer the sun to my UV light because I can give the print a one minute shade exposure before going to full sun. This method tends to set the shadow detail. But, always the but, but if that one little clouds gets between your print and the sun, even for just a few seconds, things tend to get muddied. It's still a decent print and I didn't tone it as long as I normally do to retain the sepia tone but about a 1/2 stop overexposed.

Very nice shot and print!

Agreed - still looks pretty darn good to me! But I appreciate the additional information. I think I’d be too grippy to try just the sun exposure for this very reason. Thank goodness you're brave!

Brave just got me soaked running from my darkroom to the house a whole 50 feet...weather can be fickle here.
