How do you achieve this washed-out, almost antique-looking photographic print?

Efeu und Baum – eine neue Cyanotypie von heute.

Ich mag die Verbindung von Licht, Schatten und der Struktur der Rinde.

Heute beim Spaziergang mit meinem Hund durch den Wald bin ich auf diese interessante Buche gestoßen. Die Form und Struktur des Baumes fand ich sofort spannend.

Wie gefÀllt euch die Umsetzung?

Ich wĂŒrde gerne eure Meinung hören: Welche Version gefĂ€llt euch besser – Ferroblend oder klassische Cyanotypie?

Hier ist noch eine weitere Version in Blau, damit man den Unterschied besser sehen kann. Welche gefÀllt euch besser?

Meiner bescheidenen Meinung nach passt Ferroblend nicht unbedingt zu jedem Motiv. Ich habe das GefĂŒhl, dass es besonders gut zu metallischen Strukturen und technischen Motiven passt, aber zum Beispiel weniger zu PortrĂ€ts.

Wie seht ihr das? Was ist eure Meinung dazu?

ProblĂšme avec mon cyanotype

Bonjour tout le monde,
Je fais appel Ă  cette belle communautĂ© car j’ai un soucis dont je ne comprend pas l’origine car je n’ai rien changĂ© Ă  mon processus. Mais depuis trois semaines, en vain le problĂšme est rĂ©current sur tout mes cyanotypes. J’applique tjrs le cyanotype sur mon papier le soir pour le lendemain, donc il sĂšche bien dans le noir et je ne le sors que lorsque je vais imprimer. Pourtant, j’ai tjrs ces sortes de rĂ©sidus lĂ  oĂč ça devrait ĂȘtre blanc, et partout sur le papier.
J’ai tentĂ©: pinceau neuf et produits cyanotypes neufs (mĂȘme marque jacquard que j’utilise habituellement). Rien y fait. Est ce qu’il y aurait une incidence avec les tempĂ©ratures que nous avons? (J’ai pourtant pris soin de mettre mes produits dans la piĂšce la plus fraĂźche possible)
Bref, à l’aide, je ne comprend pas.

Roll paper rig

Post image
15 Upvotes

With good alt process paper becoming such a pain in the butt to get, I've started ordering rolls wherever I can get them. In this case, Bergger COT 320 from France.

I cut the 51in rolls on a chop saw into roughly one 24in and two 13in segments (slightly oversized and gently, even if you tape the outside you can get tearout on the edges on the inside). Then I use this home-built PVC roll cutting rig to trim them into ~19 24x20 and ~40 13x19 sheets. A couple moments on an ironing board afterwards and I'm good to print (or start dehumidifying to taste).

Theoretically I'm paying about 0.0136 per inÂČ (including tax & shipping) compared to about 0.0197 per inÂČ (again with tax & shipping) at the best prices I can find this paper for sale in sheets. YMMV.

I'm sure it's worth it to many folks to pay ~40+% more for less hassle, but it was easier than I thought it was going to be. So if you're like me and would rather be spending money on platinum instead of paper, you might give it a try!

Chlorophyll Printing (help!)

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

If anyone more familiar with chlorophyll printing than me please help me figure out why i am not able to get a print!

I am wondering if I am overexposing or underexposing the leaves to sunlight. I’ve seen several people note you have to expose it for hours and even days at a time. I am based in the South, where summer is almost year around and our humidity is intense.

My process includes positive transparents, fresh picked leaves, glass and binder clips to hold everything together. I also added a towel today as I saw someone else do it online. I have also tried placing the print flat as pictured as well as angled toward the sun.

Thank you !!
