@jonbrown13 I'm not quite sure whether I understand your
question, but I try to answer anyway…: There is no fixing of the paper, just
exposure and scanning. Nothing else. That is
one of the amazing things with doing
solargraphs: You never now how it turns out.
Sometimes the colors are more or less
uniform, sometimes they are like a rainbow.
So this is Black and white photographic paper
exposed through a pinhole device - then you
scan it as soon as it is removed from the
device....? But if you don't fix it the
image on the paper it will be fogged in a
matter of time....Surely?
Normally sunprints are fixed with a weak
sodium thiosulphate solution to keep the
image, although this looses some of the
wilder colouration on the paper. I was
wondering if you'd found a way of keeping
those colours in the original print
Jon, I know what you mean. I've done sun
prints and solargraphs. But for some reason
the slightest sniff of thio and the
solargraph image is gone. As far as I'm aware
there is no way of fixing the image.

...very arty feel to this one, you've managed to keep a lot of the colour in this. Is this scan of the print before you "fixed" it?

Although not a solargraph, here's one of my sunprints (fixed with thio and toned with selenium) www.flickr.com/photos/jonbrown/4710714309/

@Jon
Yep. Already by the scanning procedure the original is lost…
You need to be very careful not to screw up the picture before.

Thanks for support!

Meravigliosa. Quell'edificio nell'inquadratura che interrompe la scia del sole, la rende ancora più suggestiva e speciale.
