A pair of cyanotypes from my class in handmade photographs.
This originated from a real crappy color film negative, ASA 800 speed film from a cheap disposable camera. I scanned the negative and converted it to grayscale in Photoshop. That image is posted somewhere back in my photostream.
Here I created a 4x5" digital negative from the scanned film and made two contact prints on quality watercolor art paper sensitized with a cyanotype solution.
The top image is a straight cyanotype, while the bottom one I toned it by bleaching for 45 seconds in Arm & Hammer washing soda followed by a 9 minute bath in wine tannin.
I'm really enjoying my class, it's fairly intense.
