Re: Fun with the Sony A7 Series Cameras( all of them)
Another old (Folly) image of mine originally taken with the 10x8 Gandolfi and 165mm Super Angulon (Circa 1985) - Copied using the A7R/55mm FE lens.
This time I made a “Salt Print” using the very earliest method of photographic printing, the same as used by William Henry Fox Talbot.
I.e. soaking the print in a solution of sodium chloride and then (Double) coating with a silver nitrate solution once the paper had dried.
Exposure was around a couple of hours in the sun with the negative on top in a contact printing frame...(The process was later improved by WHFT to increase the sharpness).
The image is of Temple Bar (
Temple Bar, London - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ).
Taken in Theobalds Park, Cheshunt (before it was relocated back to London a 123 years later in 2003-2004).
The then owner at Theobalds Park a Lady Meux was quite a colourful character remembered by my Grandparents as riding around London in a buggy draw by a pair of zebras!
On the upper level she used to entertain the Prince of Wales and Winston Churchill.
