"Blues from an Airplane"



cyanotype

Well I'd call that a beautiful abstract photograph.

WOW - this threas isn't 24 hours old, and already we have so many interesting techniques represented - and with stunning results!

I have "counted" the techniques represented...

12 different techniques so far (13 actually, but I can't find a name for the one Jnanian posted other than "hybrid"..)

Carbon print
Carbon transfer
VanDyke
Cyanotypi
Oilprint
Bequerel Daguerreotype
ambrotype
Hand-colored silverprint
Platinum/Palladium
Alumitype
Photopolymer gravure
kallitype

Not that this has to be all different techniques, but it is amazing how beautiful all the older techniques are...

Thanks all.

I've never had much of an interest in any of the alternative techniques... well, this thread has caused a 'see' change. I'm totally inspired with the stuff here, particularly Emils site. As a consequence and after a bit of digging around to find some reading material, I've ordered a used copy of ''The Keepers of Light'' and a nice new copy of ''Silver Gelatin''.

hi Kev. This is good news! and maybe what all this is about (?).

I always gets so inspired, when I see some amazing work, and then find out, that it has been done in an obscure technique, I have never heard about!

Life is not long enough to explore all the possibillities.

But in the end, I try to find the technique, that fits a certain image..
A technique is just a technique - I have to find the one that fits.. Thats the challenge....

I know I'm responding to an old post but I just wanted to add that whilst I appreciated them, I had no real interest in any alternative techniques either.

But last month I attended a free two day workshop on albumen printing and now intend to try it myself at home.

to add a couple more techniques:

Albumen print of Stine.



and a bromoil print of Cecilie

Both really great but that Bromoil is wicked....
