B/W photograph of two swallows on fused glass, with sterling silver bezel. The glass is a lens that I have fully fused into a 1.25 inch diameter piece, with the photo being printed on the back. Since all the glass pieces are the same diameter, I can prepare many sterling silver bezels of exactly the same size. The image above appears colored; this is due to ambient light being reflected from a piece of transparent dichroic film sandwiched between the photo and the back of the bezel. This film diffracts light at various wavelengths, depending on the viewing angle. Thus the print may appear bluish, yellow, or orange from different angles.

After working as a research professor in molecular biology, I chose B/W photography as a second career. I use Mamiya medium format cameras and Kodak PX 125 film. Although I print digitally [Epson 2400] onto fine art paper, much of my work deals with silver gelatin printing onto glass, stones, shells, and other three dimensional objects. Both of these printing surfaces [paper vs. 3D] require very different types of photographs.

Hi, that was without a doubt an awesome article. I had actually been searching for a photo printing related post for a while now. Great! I have a similar blog, how much do you charge for advertising? because I can’t seem to locate the details anywhere.
