Frederick De Bourg Richards, Carpenters' Court and Hall (in perspective), Chestnut St. bet. Third & Fourth St. May 1859.

The process of creating salt prints was alright, i very much enjoyed making them. The process consisted of salting paper for 5 minutes then letting it dry naturally. I then painted silver nitrate onto the salted paper and dried it with a hair dryer. I then put the light sensitive paper in a box that doesn't let light in, with my negatives, to a machine which generates a very bright light. I placed the negatives down in the machine emulsion facing up, and placed the light sensitive paper on top of the negatives, emulsion facing down. I then closed the machine and the vacuum sucked all the air out and made the prints press together. As for timing, it was trial and error, i set it at 600 seconds, and i stuck to this time as i liked the way my prints turned out. I then took the prints out and put them in rinse 1 and 2 both for 10 minutes and then the wash for 10 mins, then the fixer for 2 mins and then again wash for 10 mins. Last but not least , i put the prints into the clear solution for 3 minutes and then hung them up to dry.

I then went to the filter tool and then into noise and adjusted the grain of the photo to make it appear more old and vintage just like a salt print.
