This is a process from the 1870s where you coat the 100% cotton paper with a Platinum/Palladium solution then expose it with the negative in UV light. It is then developed and cleared leaving an image that is composed of only the two metals. The long lockdown I have had a lot of time to experiment with prints. Online I found a reprint of a book from 1915 where a printer named Foley described making Platinum prints with not one but two or three exposures. This process gave him much better prints than others of his time.</p><p> Irving Penn is a well known fashion photographer that in the 1960s is credited with bringing back the Platinum printing process that disappeared after WW1 as all the metal went into the war effort. Some of his best prints were made with two or three exposures but he kept his process secret. It is most likely he he made highlight masks for his negatives although some think he used several negatives on different contrast. In any event we do know that he bonded his paper to an aluminum sheet which he pin registered to his negatives. Without having the paper bonded to aluminum the slight shrinkage of the paper would ruin the print and registration was necessary so that each negative would print in register with the others.</p><p>While Penn used film negatives that were enlarged to size on larger sheets of film, today we make negatives digitally. Platinum prints require negatives that are the same size as the print you intend to print. It seemed like it would be possible to make digital negatives to make prints using this Foley/Penn process. </p><p>The lockdown gave a lot of time to experiment with the process and this print is one of the first I have done. The paper is Hannahmule cotton paper and it is bonded to aluminum. The negative is printed on an Epson P800 with Epson inks on Pictorico film.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwGb8qAqXPYv8od1XwY-vJ2odqFU-E89T29z6WwRgqvk3BvjiI28508KdJYJEDZDWaEaydjLOnUlrn7M2DFtSMf9Lam3xJOGSGyAFZzeNYmzlbdBTZQXICDbBGff-xoH-yP2GkBo9iWft/s1938/_DSF0458.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1938" data-original-width="1292" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGwGb8qAqXPYv8od1XwY-vJ2odqFU-E89T29z6WwRgqvk3BvjiI28508KdJYJEDZDWaEaydjLOnUlrn7M2DFtSMf9Lam3xJOGSGyAFZzeNYmzlbdBTZQXICDbBGff-xoH-yP2GkBo9iWft/w426-h640/_DSF0458.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jim Hamstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15440276971982229666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191233698141967930.post-19066619341057756712021-05-14T20:23:00.000-07:002021-05-14T20:23:23.701-07:00Escape from Lockdown<p>For the past few years we had been doing a spring workshop in Joshua Tree Park but not this year so my friend Don from Santa Fe and I decided to do a photo trip in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah<span> to finally get out and to plan areas for a photo workshop in Utah.</span></p><p><span>Our first stop was in Kanab where we went to Red Canyon and to the ruins of the Gunsmoke set.

It crosses Bull Valley Gorge, a slot canyon over 100 feet deep and sometimes narrow enough you can jump over it (you can, not me). In it's day it was the road from Cannonville to Kanab and to bridge the gorge some big choke stones were pushed in and tree stumps and dirt filled in to make a bridge 15 feet thick. in 1954 three people in a pickup died when part of the bridge collapsed. Their bodies were recovered and in 2019 most of the truck was washed away although some parts of the truck are still there.The trail does past Willis Creek and ends in Cannonville.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheV4VX4zgEPZ4yJUvODtJD8MxscTdGZ3ROYUGwfY76tOtqcPndUNXAL5la6Npfw2c0Sy7ZpxORyHBP_H84CmGcv5YhGfvTwGdfPYerqyT1-raIICYqqPkzVNchY7wlYbGrUSSwbYSlMQso/s1000/Bull+Gorge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheV4VX4zgEPZ4yJUvODtJD8MxscTdGZ3ROYUGwfY76tOtqcPndUNXAL5la6Npfw2c0Sy7ZpxORyHBP_H84CmGcv5YhGfvTwGdfPYerqyT1-raIICYqqPkzVNchY7wlYbGrUSSwbYSlMQso/w266-h400/Bull+Gorge.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Bull Valley Gorge</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBl22FrVD3owW6_0LlslTpGimsQJbvQLnOTECKhP63iJjr6PPlEKdPuBMMNplWsw_nfQeZoWT7CPf153YhOFfQljQQ1Pu9wY7VBPB_LptiVvp6XWnbX9mRURWe1K5Sf4qm5Gz13XQTnf-f/s1000/bull.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBl22FrVD3owW6_0LlslTpGimsQJbvQLnOTECKhP63iJjr6PPlEKdPuBMMNplWsw_nfQeZoWT7CPf153YhOFfQljQQ1Pu9wY7VBPB_LptiVvp6XWnbX9mRURWe1K5Sf4qm5Gz13XQTnf-f/w266-h400/bull.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The New Bridge with the old Dirt Bridge under it</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtNX0X3B1OmOVnF2QNBFztZX8HdDRs8hTJX16fHLusjPHQAryHmblbapOO0QV2PfSm83i-FXVBqETExMp_THg1bvCJMlaDCKdSFgH-enyE9Ipl15klFz5zEi2h6GnsKFfGQtET1XimqUq/s1000/BullGorge.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtNX0X3B1OmOVnF2QNBFztZX8HdDRs8hTJX16fHLusjPHQAryHmblbapOO0QV2PfSm83i-FXVBqETExMp_THg1bvCJMlaDCKdSFgH-enyE9Ipl15klFz5zEi2h6GnsKFfGQtET1XimqUq/w266-h400/BullGorge.jpg" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">From Above Photo Zoomed in on Truck Wheel and Bumper</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Jim Hamstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15440276971982229666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191233698141967930.post-24612652801979966412021-05-14T19:36:00.000-07:002021-05-14T19:36:23.233-07:00Willis Creek<p> Willis Creek is one of my favorite slot canyons and has water running in it all year round. When we were there years ago you had the feeling something was moving in the rocks above. Then as we rounded the bend in a narrow part of the canyon there was a dead deer by the water and it was partly eaten by what would likely be a mountain lion that very morning. I had a few years earlier stumbled on it by accident while looking for the Bull Valley Gorge. Now it is in hiking guides and on Utube videos and has become very popular.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86NMvX-pXBDsohgxF_dbm9nxCzmYAjy8yb5cY2ZITCGpnq3rjAOTBfp-2Gvj7L3yO4RmM894WyTzuOxDP1l64fj61uM6l84ChXp_1Kyvbh76e6UIZkVlBnhUfAQG9P6Ec6faFgIkFAZN-/s1000/Willis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi86NMvX-pXBDsohgxF_dbm9nxCzmYAjy8yb5cY2ZITCGpnq3rjAOTBfp-2Gvj7L3yO4RmM894WyTzuOxDP1l64fj61uM6l84ChXp_1Kyvbh76e6UIZkVlBnhUfAQG9P6Ec6faFgIkFAZN-/w400-h266/Willis.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY_4a4jctLaZgygGV0fFZvxfJQm5NHU-aNDNA-T3ryphc3ek3Bz4lWX4QogTCNM9ve9Ut65slvrHrB6LzCdqvucV8MvrbRcWb4THdh4bDLqJzLoxvaiyV9xrV_HMr6ui6auIsgznlpdJ8/s1000/Willis2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="667" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLY_4a4jctLaZgygGV0fFZvxfJQm5NHU-aNDNA-T3ryphc3ek3Bz4lWX4QogTCNM9ve9Ut65slvrHrB6LzCdqvucV8MvrbRcWb4THdh4bDLqJzLoxvaiyV9xrV_HMr6ui6auIsgznlpdJ8/w266-h400/Willis2.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvuDUk0ZjbKppU_XUURNo83Pn7oNQhVQ5C9J7WvnL7FAK7ckTxQkqi7_KF7MI4hQpILooLormunzJzd8nHRn3eWarxdrhJu1OwkFjW8NCxC9jEEtRodIV4dq_NWVL4OH9oFp5Gzc06Fzz/s1000/Willis3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZvuDUk0ZjbKppU_XUURNo83Pn7oNQhVQ5C9J7WvnL7FAK7ckTxQkqi7_KF7MI4hQpILooLormunzJzd8nHRn3eWarxdrhJu1OwkFjW8NCxC9jEEtRodIV4dq_NWVL4OH9oFp5Gzc06Fzz/w400-h266/Willis3.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Jim Hamstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15440276971982229666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191233698141967930.post-54111364644669481622021-05-14T19:24:00.000-07:002021-05-14T19:24:12.825-07:00Cannonville to Escalante<p>From Escalante we took Hole in the Rock Road. The road goes all the way to lake Powell and the Hole is where a Morman party cut steps through a slot in the cliff to pull their wagons up. It is also access to several trailheads that go into the Paria River. There is also a wash where three great slot canyons open into. Dry Fork, Spooky, and Peek- a- Boo make for some great hiking. Unfortunately a lot has changed since I was there years ago when with 4WD you could drive right to the wash and then we saw only one other person there the entire day. Now there is a fenced area where you can park and hike to the wash. Even early in the morning there were 20 or more cars there and the small narrow slot canyons will be very crowed. The Devils Garden and Egypt is also off the road.</p><p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihyJZgZmG1d0osnyxPJZx6HV1aUfTQesIroKxX2-BWEDxhAE11jvVG6yFG7uyDGmUmjbmICqP_QwDo7lU0khAW7AmX5nR-QD6uAvLVbSHVb6p7MWvMvSp1GBcNRbfdM2yJEmt7jgMJtmhe/s1000/Devils.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihyJZgZmG1d0osnyxPJZx6HV1aUfTQesIroKxX2-BWEDxhAE11jvVG6yFG7uyDGmUmjbmICqP_QwDo7lU0khAW7AmX5nR-QD6uAvLVbSHVb6p7MWvMvSp1GBcNRbfdM2yJEmt7jgMJtmhe/w400-h266/Devils.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Devils Garden</td></tr></tbody></table><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7pAfUVkz59Gp5l1X8DMmeRrcQLGP9VjSUAoAvUMfyAMCKb7mEN-pmPv5GB1_a8Ja2R02mORJHcGwtJW0PorDw4NWnSe16ZTwssdbyQRBvV7bJmv3-yw3i623HGdQkDbmmj5DkGFuXDdid/s1000/Devils+Garden.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7pAfUVkz59Gp5l1X8DMmeRrcQLGP9VjSUAoAvUMfyAMCKb7mEN-pmPv5GB1_a8Ja2R02mORJHcGwtJW0PorDw4NWnSe16ZTwssdbyQRBvV7bJmv3-yw3i623HGdQkDbmmj5DkGFuXDdid/w400-h266/Devils+Garden.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGOrnZkbrc9nOBTzJ0QiKjqowxFEKJ2Ddq3mz7AEyrRCHxmXRJIAGglSfaKRtYNDNI-xwR9QmFe4TmGkaNyb2PUfJsj6T4_XHmGDaYiWi3r-b26IljfEthUMDMbYCrXZB_kPGknLP0xeP/s1000/Hole+Rock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGGOrnZkbrc9nOBTzJ0QiKjqowxFEKJ2Ddq3mz7AEyrRCHxmXRJIAGglSfaKRtYNDNI-xwR9QmFe4TmGkaNyb2PUfJsj6T4_XHmGDaYiWi3r-b26IljfEthUMDMbYCrXZB_kPGknLP0xeP/w400-h266/Hole+Rock.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Egypt</td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <p></p><p><br /></p>Jim Hamstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15440276971982229666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191233698141967930.post-74817626612198255332021-05-14T19:03:00.001-07:002021-05-14T19:03:28.900-07:00Escalante to Boulder<p> Highway 12 is a very scenic highway going past Lower Calf Creek Falls then up on a ridge with great views.

It is called the most scenic road in Utah and they are most likely right. At one point it drops more than 1000 feet in one mile in a series of switchbacks. Just past the switchbacks it turns south to Lake Powell.

Lower Calf Creek Falls is one of the most scenic hikes in Utah. It is around 7 miles round trip but it takes you to a 126 foot falls that goes into a great swimming hole. We did not have time to go there this trip but I did the hike about 5 years ago. Past the turnout to the trailhead you are driving a ridge that drops off on each side and in the fall the Cottonwood trees the east side are very colorful. </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

It has been called the most scenic drive in Utah. It goes past Singing Canyon and just before it gets to Notom Road it drops almost 1000 feet in one mile in a series of switchbacks.

There are other great formations in the area and the BLM has opened the area between them and the highway to all offroad vehicles creating a lot of dust on the weekends when it is very busy with campers and offroad vehacles. The road in is gravel so even when it rained we were able to get in to some good places to photograph.

Bentonite is volcanic ash from the Jurassic times and looks like hills covered in popcorn in shades of brown,red, purple, and even green. Hanksville has a lot of these areas and they are some times referred to as the Badlands. Bentonite when wet is very slippery and will make driving in the area inpossible after rain. We had some rain along with snow, sleet, thunderstorms, and hail. All good for photography except the couple days of 40 MPH wind but not good for getting back on the 4WD trails. The rain kept us out of the badlands and off the trail to the Mars station.<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmPJiC6xHdf-UHuPPLnLweIf8l2PR9VtoYUTrVFwElBgiveJ9-r52Zb64P3rsW0dviEh-FI8vVq9bkwbIFB4wxbZCJ0JIcBvg4G66m1WVBN0WWQXP8fHUheRvf7ht-JNNQC3cmBBhNgw6/s1000/Badlands.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLmPJiC6xHdf-UHuPPLnLweIf8l2PR9VtoYUTrVFwElBgiveJ9-r52Zb64P3rsW0dviEh-FI8vVq9bkwbIFB4wxbZCJ0JIcBvg4G66m1WVBN0WWQXP8fHUheRvf7ht-JNNQC3cmBBhNgw6/s400/Badlands.jpg"/></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1xT4Z6_n1_CdedGOaLkORpWzCF2u2B4wEMgmxDNKTIGwbdxWOtOdoS9JHqWUSdP-jsQ36gFTKqlRUYZxKLtgZWKoVYE1NTB85tLMUGnXfs0Nqp9ROTE5RiFVbrwQaYse6_wBOTook18_/s1000/Badlands2.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG1xT4Z6_n1_CdedGOaLkORpWzCF2u2B4wEMgmxDNKTIGwbdxWOtOdoS9JHqWUSdP-jsQ36gFTKqlRUYZxKLtgZWKoVYE1NTB85tLMUGnXfs0Nqp9ROTE5RiFVbrwQaYse6_wBOTook18_/s400/Badlands2.jpg"/></a></div>Jim Hamstrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15440276971982229666noreply@blogger.com0
