The Cyanotype Thread

[Rick A]

Rick, didn't you post that lily somewhere before? Is that the one you developed in 100% vinegar? The tonal range on both of those is amazing.

The lily was developed in white distilled vinegar, the still life in concentrated lemon juice.

[Emil Schildt]

Anyone tried to tone in boiled banana peel?

[Andrew O'Neill]

Straight vinegar or diluted?

Straight vinegar or diluted?

Straight out of the bottle.

There's an article in the Times today.

David, I saw that too. I have a few cyanotypes but haven't posted any here. This thread, and now the NYT article, encourages me to do it more often.

[Jim Noel]

same here...

I am having the same problem with yours.

As is the case with all photographic processes, it is the subject will either make it or break it.

Take for example this image which I posted in another thread yesterday:

Confessional - All Saints Catholic Church



Because of the colors and the shiny vernier of the wood, it works as a C-print. But the subject matter suggests that it would also be an ideal subject for cyanotype.

Here's one that I shot last month just to see how it would look printed as a Cyanotype:

The stock was mixed on 3/24/15 - over a year ago and still works.
