Fox Talbot Imitation by pcoulson

Fox Talbot Imitation

My entry in the weeks Capture 52 challenge "Imitate another photographers work"
this is my interpretation of Fox Talbot work.
William Henry Fox Talbot FRS FRSE FRAS 11 February 1800 – 17 September 1877 an English scientist, inventor and photography pioneer who invented the salted paper and calotype processes, precursors to photographic processes of the later 19th and 20th centuries, his work in the 1840s on photomechanical reproduction, led to the creation of the photoglyphic engraving process, the precursor to photogravure.
How interesting. I had not heard of Mr. Talbot.

@louannwarren Thank you for your comment Lou Ann, I saw a BBC documentary on the history of photography he was well featured in those early days of photography, then went to an exhibition of his work showing original images of street scenes in the 1840's they are amazing:)

Interesting and informative. Thank you for the context. I like the sepia tone and the focus on the clock tower. Good luck with the challenge, Peter.

@onewing Thank you Babs, he produced some amazing images directly onto coated paper, they had these original images on show in the exhibition still as clear today as they were in the 1840’s:)
