cyanotype 1st attempt

This was part of a college photography assignment. I took a photo, it was then converted to a digital negative on an overhead projector acetate.

 

Then a sheet of water colour paper was then treated with chemicals and then allowed to dry. The digital negative was then placed over the chemically treated paper and then exposed to a light source.

 

The chemicals were then washed off the paper with water. Then in another water bath hydrogen peroxide was added, this deepened the colour. Again, the paper was then washed off with water and left to dry.

 

Then...voila ! An old style cyanotype print !

 

I quite like this !
