Went to a Pacific Arts League Photo Interest Group (PAL PHIG)
presentation last evening that centered on using digitally produced
negatives for large format platinum/palladium/cyanotype printing.
Beautiful prints. Truly beautiful. A pain the butt to produce, a lot
of muss and chemistry, lots of fun tedium in getting a calibration
setup. Expensive chemistry.
In the words of the presenter, "Who cares about taking pictures on
film? I always hated carrying 40 pounds of camera and junk into the
field ... now I can carry my digital camera, or my film camera, and
have all the advantages they present, make my contact negatives up to
any size I want, and get the kind of image qualities and durability I
want."
