Fall colors have arrived in North Georgia USA.

Joey and I hiked the Nottely Dam Road Trail. The colors are quite impressive. The wind was blowing pretty hard and the temperature was 34 º F.  But it was a fun outing. This was taken on the road leading to the Dam.Nottely Dam Road

These are images from our excursion with our good friend and guide Stephan.

The falls are the Rabun County waterfall named Minnehaha and the rapids are of the Tallulah River ( the river where parts of it were used to film the movie- “Deliverance”).

Our New Home

  Well after a year of some very trying times we’re back.  2016 ended with our having to deal with a very bad Hurricane. After dealing with severe damage and a lack of help we decided to move. We have moved to Union County, Georgia USA., the move and all that goes with it, (the selling of old and buying a new property), was quite taxing on us. All this time our photography had to take a back seat.

  We now have a beautiful mountain home in the Great Smoky Mountains. Life is so laid back here and the scenery is spectacular. We have been venturing out and finding great photographic opportunities.

Kallitype- Bulow Oak Tree

Another Kallitype of an image from Bulow State Park.

Bulow State Park has an enormous variety of very old trees, Oaks, Hickory Nut and Maple. I took this image with a Mamiya 645 Medium Format camera with Ilford FP 4 film. The negative was processed in my darkroom.. For this Kallitype I needed an 8×10 negative. So I scanned the negative and converted it to a digital 8×10 negative. Then contact printing this onto sensitized watercolor paper by UV light. The processing is basically the same as a silver gelatin print just different chemicals. The Kallitype process is an antique process patented in the late 1800’s.

Kallitype- Bulow Cabbage Palm

Kallitype- Bulow Cabbage Palm

A Kallitype Print- A process patented by W.W.J. Nichol in 1889. An iron/silver process. A sheet of watercolor paper is coated with a silver nitrate and ferric oxalate solution. It is allowed to dry. The print is made under sunlight or other UV light by contact print a full sized negative.I use a 8 x 10 digital negative that I make. After exposure the print is developed in sodium citrate, then cleared in EDTA, next a gold toner is used, after toning the print is fixed in sodium thiosulfate, then washed and allowed to dry. Kallitypes are know for their wonderful warm tones. When properly developed and toned they are sometimes indistinguishable from Platinum prints.

Thanks for viewing. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
