Sheesh! I've been isolated here in Harrington ME for a while and thought it was OK to not visit the forum but now this thread blows me away! Lots of refreshing imagination here and I particularly like the way the alternative techniques are enhancing the original images. I can only imagine the impact of the real prints.

it is alternative to darkroom
Jim, Thank you, much appreciated. One day i need to learn to do the Carbon printing, both yours, Sandy's and Colins work is very impressive.
One of my first cyanotypes from last weekend. What a great thread--filled with some really beautiful work.
good cyanotype!
and speaking of that, I have recently startet to tone my cyanotypes with a tea, that actually isn't a tea...
Rooibos is the name - or commongly called red tea.. (it is drunk and sold as a yea, but the bush it comes from isn't a tea bush...).
this tea gives such beautiful tones to a cyanotype.
I'll upload three identical images.
The original cyanotype - toned shortly in the Rooibos (about 15 min in strong "tea") - and a version toned for several hours in the same tea...
I believe this tea can be bought world wide, so if you like it - go get some...
PS: found a link to the tea..: http://www.drugstore.com/products/pr...param=sespider
Excellent images everyone...
Superlative inspiration...
One day I am going to find out where all this magic comes from.

Emil, I personally love the one soaked for several hours. Outstanding!
Jim
Thanks Sandy.
AFA the digital stuff - too damn many menus. And the Photo oils just smear all over that little view screen. But I'm working on it.
Keep posting those wonderful images Emil. They are very inspirational.
