Old Timey 'Metal Prints'

I've seen them avliable from theme parks and thought I remember reading a way to do it, that didnt seem to tough. I've seen a method using a large format camera and a polished silver plate, but that looks far to involved and expensive.

Is this what you're looking for?

I dont see any kind of instructions on that site, perhaps Im just being dense, mind is preoccupied, have a wedding to shoot tomorrow

-Johnny

No, sadly- I did a search, but could not find any instructions, either.

You might look into a Kodak Paper "Endura Metallic" that gives a very interesting "metallic" look to prints. It is great for certian subjects. White House Custom color (www.whcc.com) offers this and I have done a some. Dennis

Go to alternativephotography​.com and look up copper photogravure.

It's extremely involved -- it's even beyond my own luddite tendencies. But beautiful, though.
