I absolutely adore platinum/palladium prints. You can actually emulate the effect in Photoshop. See this site - CodeIdol - Thinking about Photoshop Fine Arts Effects Cookbook - PHOTOGRAPHERS - the effects are not a bad imitation at all. I get the best results from scanned b&w film negatives, but with care you can get good results from a dslr. Still, I'm going to try the process of making OHP negs and contact printing. There's something about that old hands-on stuff that has a magic of its own.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'll follow it with interest.

There's a nice bluegrass tune from your area, Roanoke. Hard to play on mandolin, but good to listen to Sam Bush or Dave Grisman playing it.
