African Purple Swamphen

Photographed near Sedgefield, South Africa. One of the notable features of this bird is the size of its feet, visible in this picture.

Black Headed Heron

It was entertaining to watch this Black Headed Heron maintaining its balance at the very top of a tree near Sedgefield, South Africa.

I am changing the formula and process that I use to create salt prints. I will be pre-sizing the paper and adding Potassium Dichromate to increase contrast and perhaps changing the tone of the prints by cooling it down slightly from the current plumb red. I may be able to publish a few prints within the next three weeks or so. Time is a bit limited as I do this on weekends. See www.coismeyer.com for more detail.
