My first salt print! Salt printing was one of the first successful photographic processes. Salt printing was invented by Henry Fox Talbot in the 1830's. The basic process is the foundation of film photography still used today. I am so proud of this print and think it is amazing (probably amazingly lucky) that I was able to get this good of a result on my first try! Newer prints have gone up in quality dramatically - but this will always be special as it was my first! Back to my Blog

A new salt print of wild horses in Colorado. This is my twelfth salt print and I think I am getting the recipe down now! The range of tones (from black to white) is very pleasing to my eye. I also have a nice mid range contrast so that a lot of small details are very clear. The coating is nice and even and I even like the "live" edge. This is an 8x10 print and will be going up for sale shortly. Serial #1 will be hanging on my office wall!

We arrived and drove around for an hour on dirt roads and didn't see a horse. Found a nice place for lunch and had a great picnic. Then out of nowhere we were surround by a hundred or more wild horses. Such beautiful animals!…
