Made some contact prints in the darkroom this evening, both normal silver and cyanotypes. One print was halfway dry and I took it out to show my wife and let it dry in the kitchen. I came back around midnight and it had a fluorescent green spot on it! I just about lost my cool in exasperation. Fortunately that doesn't happen much. I figured out the problem and will post the cause in the afternoon. It's a good little story.

Great start Randy! I keep my too-dark test prints when making exposure tests. They are great fun to bleach and tone. If the clorox is obnoxious, just get some washing soda powder.

So I had this nasty bright green spot on my fresh half dried cyanotype (pictured above) and I may have said some unkind words and come close to loosing my cool. I picked up the print to view the defect in different light and look what I saw...




The phone lights a bright green led when it's done charging! It was done charging.

So many fine images in this forum.
But I miss a thread where we can post our images, made in one or more of the fascinating "alternative" techniques that are out there...

show us your Cyanotypes - Oil prints - Bromoils - Albumen's - Van Dyke's - Carbon prints - photo gravures or what you are currently working with.

Please let us know what technique used (Camera's - lenses are always fine too)...

C'mon: I dare you!

Nice idea, I'd really like to see

Haha, I was wondering how you managed to get a bright green spot like that in a cyanotype, but that solves the mystery! Great print too!
