A copy image of a Platinum Palladium Print, showing photographer John Banasiak posing with his camera in front of the Vermillion Civic Council thrift store.
From my new palladium print portrait series, Elder South Dakota Artists. A portrait of artist, photographer, professor, and mentor John Banasiak in front of one of his favorite places, the Vermilion Civic Council.

7 different versions of a picture. It's Seattle's First Hill Trolley, taken in low light at the end of the day.
First and last try--the original is all midrange grays, the last version has better contrast between light and dark areas.
Messing around with exposure times and different filters for getting better print contrast out of multigrade paper. Made 7 prints in all (but they're just contact prints, so pretty quick work). But comparing the generic vs final tweaked version, you can really […]

My first #ContactPrint was all in medium grays. I tried increasing the exposure time, but it just shifted everything darker.
Added a new framed contact print to my website —

cutting out an early print with an x-acto
mask on top of glass on top of negative on top of paper (using just regular paper here for illustrative purposes)
results, with a bunch of different variants
this one worked OK. at least, you can see the results of different exposure times on different areas pretty well.
With enlargers, people do burning/dodging/masking, so I decided to see if I could make this work with a #ContactPrint.
So, I want overexpose/darken the well-lit (so, in the negative, darker) outside bits, and underexpose/lighten the (in neg, lighter) tunnel […]

hand-tinted image of a vertical-boilered steam donkey engine. it's on top of huge redwood log "skids". there are trees in the background and dry grass in the foreground. the engine is colored rusty brown. the pencil strokes are blurred by brushing water, but are still visible.
this version is colored more simply, regions are almost just solid colors on top of the B&W background.
Tried hand tinting some photo prints. I used watercolor pencils.
In the first/left version I tried drawing pretty precisely, in the right/second version I went for a more cartoony solid-fill look. I think the 2nd way works better.
I think this works best with […]

This a whole roll of medium format film done as a single contact sheet.
Four 6x9 (Brownie) negatives done on a half a piece of photo paper (twice, because the first try came out too dark).
Single image of a steam donkey.
Made some contact prints (these are all 6x6cm or 6x9cm; some may look like enlargements, but that's just because I cut smaller pieces of paper).
The last picture is intentionally printed light because I want to try hand-tinting (and Wikipedia says you should do that).
Can you make a print with just Cranberry juice?
Yes! After three days under a UV light, it’s faint, but yes!

three versions of a picture of a cute train
Some #ContactPrint versions of a picture taken on a #KodakBrownie. For the top one, which is pretty light, the paper was exposed for about "one mih", the next one was about "one mississippi" and came out pretty well. I put a #Cyanotype from the same negative […]

Another of my kid's #MediumFormat #ContactPrint pix. This is in Niles, CA, across the street from the Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum ( @Essanay ).

dark, medium, light, of geometric frame shapes
So we tried a range of exposure times for the same #contactprint. We just turn on the lights and count mississippis. In this case the best results was from about 0.5sec (which is kind of hard to count very exactly).
This is the roof of the Berryessa #SFBart […]

some kind of abstract frameworks, overall a pretty dark image
Next we tried a #contactprint with one of my son's 6x6cm negs from his Yashica. First try was pretty dark, but there's a picture all right.

three blank white pieces of photo paper
First #Darkroom attempt last night, trying to make contact prints. As you can see, somewhat disappointing results.
In one of these, as a final test, I skipped the negative, and just turned on the lights, and let the paper sit there for a minute. Still nothing.
