Polaroid dry transfer on to cold-pressed watercolor postcard stock. Shot yesterday with my Polaroid 195 on Polaroid Type 669, then peeled 10 seconds into the development process and put on to the watercolor paper. Didn't have my brayer, so I used my thumb. Worked out pretty well.

Made some huge (35x35 cm) x-ray film negatives for #cyanotype prints. #cyanotypes #AlternativeProcess

Cyanotype toned in tannic acid and printed on cold press watercolour paper. I think this image settles the debate for me on hot/cold press paper - the deep tooth of cold press is fine for photograms using found objects but for digital negatives containing finer details it is too pronounced and softens the image too much.

Cyanotypes on hot press watercolour paper, bleached with soda crystals and toned with tannic acid. I was hoping for more black and white tones but the tannic acid has left a purple/sepia cast on both prints. I'm happier with the first image, where the range of tones has held firm from the negative.

Highlights and shadows in cyanotypes.

Another useful lesson, the top image was exposed for 9 minutes, but the shadows are too dark. The bottom image exposed for 7 minutes but the highlights are too bright. Lesson learned: Shorter exposures coupled with less contrasty, flatter digital negatives should retain both highlights and shadows.

I have well and truly fallen down the alternative process/printmaking rabbit hole. After my ongoing experimentation with cyanotypes, I'm now watching YouTube videos on linocuts and acrylic paint pouring. There's so much to learn! #art #alternativeprocess #mastoart

FINALLY! This image has been my white whale. Over the past year and a half, I have tried to print it at least half a dozen times, and I never got a result I was happy with. Today I finally did.

*ATELIER CYANOTYPE LE 28 MAI*
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Apprenez à faire des cyanotypes: c'est facile, pas cher, amusant, créatif, et ça peut se faire avec des enfants. Ce dimanche 28 Mai de 14-17h au Labo Diva je vous apprends à faire des cyanotypes. Au programme de l'après-midi:
- un petit historique de ce procédé photographique
- une démonstration de A à Z (ou presque) de la production d'une des mes images cyanotypée
- une activité photogramme qui vous permettra de créer votre propre oeuvre d'art (en utilisant des feuilles, tiges, herbes et autres plantes pour créer des silhouettes blanches et bleues.)
- vous pourrez me poser toutes les questions que vous souhaitez sur le procédé.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Une participation aux frais de 10 EUR sera demandée. L'inscription préalable est obligatoire soit via Facebook, Instagram ou sur place au Labo Diva (en journée jusqu'à Vendredi).

To european cyanotypists...

Where are you buying your chemicals?

I can't find anywhere selling anything except Jacquard versions, which are small quantities and quite expensive. Are there alternatives?

Thank you!

Today's image is *Fernskin*, a #cyanotype print of a #doubleexposure photography. The way the texture blends with the skin on this one is quite stunning, and works so well with the pose as well. #believeinfilm #nsfw #blueprint #alternativeprocess #artnude

My image today is *Venetian Back*, a #cyanotype print of a #doubleexposure image. I struggled to get this one right. Third time was the charm! #believeinfilm #alternativeprocess

Image of the day is *Forest Nymph*, a #cyanotype print of a #photosynthesis #doubleexposure. I think the best blue prints in this series are the ones that aren't entirely legible in the first place... #believeinfilm #alternativeprocess

I'm definitely a noon photographer, don't expect sunsets anytime soon.

Image of the day is *Shy*, a #cyanotype print of a #doubleexposure. I really like these "through the leaves" texture shots, they're very dynamic. What do you think ? #believeinfilm #alternativeprocess

Today's image is *Flowing*, a #cyanotype print of a #doubleexposure image. Love how the blues and the slightly faded aspects of the image reinforce the poetry of it all. What do you think ? #believeinfilm #alternativeprocess

Preparing papers for biggest #cyanotypes I've ever done (ca. 35x35cm.) Negatives done in a two step process on x-ray film. Printing "negatives" with the computer would be a lot easier 😅, but it steals the magic of #altprocessphotography.🔥#AlternativeProcess

One of my favorite image he made is "White fox", which I have printed using the gum bichromate process.

The essay and some of Prokudin-Gorsky's images can be found on The Public Domain Review website here https://publicdomainreview.org/essay/in-search-of-true-color . It is a fascinating read.

Lines in the desert, Jordan 2022.

A coffee-toned cyanotype print on strathmore postcard watercolor paper for #PostCardsFromAfar. From a digital negative originally shot with my Ricoh KR-10 on tmax.

This unassuming line of basalt in the desert does not look like much from the ground, but is part of an amazing network of 8000 year old animal traps, that include thousands of km of walls such as this, and created a huge network of interconnected structures.
