Thanks nag, the paper was arches platien. The girls are great, I shot 4 sheets of 8X10 and they all came out wonderful. Thinking of doing a triptych with three shots of them. It would make a great narrative. Koraks, sorry about the high price of ferric oxalate, it isn't that cheap here either. When I spoke with Dana at B&S he concurred with me that the shelf life of the ferric oxalate made with their powder has a long shelf life. Believe it or not, the batch I used was mixed in December of this year and jus sat on a shelf without refrigeration and is still good. It does have a bit of EDTA added to it.

Very interesting! I like it a lot. Is it possible for you to give a few details???

Oil print...

My first attempts at coating my own traditional cyanotypes - I am happy with my initial results, though I have learned quickly that lower contrast scenes/negs will probably work best. All from 4X5 negs.








Am going to coat some for 8X10 negs now.

Very nice results randy!
And yes, you want low contrast negs for classic cyanotype. With new cyanotype, you can print just about any negative using dichromate for contrast control.

Are you talking about sizing or gelatin/hardening? With sizing all you have to do is let it soak in really hot water for about 30min, shuffling the sheets. Then of course hanging to dry.
Going to give a try at carbon before long. I've got the carbon paper, but have been doing albuem as of late. Very fun.

I did some 8X10 negs between clouds yesterday. Coated 5 sheets with classic cyanotype but only 3 came out as I wanted.
To big for my scanner and white balance on camera is off - sorry about the yellow cast to the paper - it is actually white.

I am really enjoying this...

"The Bell" - an Rawlins Oil Print

As I get the hang of the Oil print process, I thought I would try printing one of my 14x20 Xray negatives.
The initial inking was done with a hog-hair brush. The rest of the print was finished with brayers.
The paper is fixed-out Foma Fomatone matte chamois paper
I used Graphic Chemical black ink that I thinned out.

cyanotype

Well I'd call that a beautiful abstract photograph.

Looking good! If you get some that are a tad dark, try out the bleaching and tea-toning options. That's fun to change the color or have dual-colors from toning.
