Platinum/Palladium Print

A second platinum/palladium print finished today. This one had a correct print time. Another image out of the Oregon scenics. This one was shot at Fern Ridge Reservoir, just before sunset. Oregon isn't known for their big sky fluffy clouds type of place for much of the year. There is a lot of zone 7 skies, of overall gray skies without any way to know where the sun is at any given time. This was one  of those days.

The differences that can be seen between the salted silver version and the platinum/palladium print version of this image is the steely gray of the foliage in this image, compared to the silver image. There is a distinct color of each of these prints. Personally speaking, I prefer the platinum grays to the silver grays.
