(Taking a break from photography for awhile while packing to move; meanwhile, going back through old stuff.)

 

I attended an Alternative Processes workshop earlier this year, hosted and taught by a local photographer friend. We created both cyanotypes and Vandyke Brown images; this is one of my first attempts at cyanotypes. Eventually I'll be exploring alt processes further----I'm really looking forward to it. :)

 

Cyanotype toned with coffee, 8"x8"

created from an 8x8 negative of

an image taken with a Holga 120CFN.

The result after drying to touch (dry-down is in fact about 1 stop, it seems), again with black- and white-points set using curves to emphasise the zonal contrast.

Zones 1-3 are all zone 1, zone 4 is on zone 2 (though with full texture), zone 5 is now zone 3, zone 6 is zone 5, zones 7 - 10 are all where they should be.

So this does suggest a stop more of film-speed would be advisable for more detail in shadows for this process; N development time now set.

More generally this also indicates the tonal change one can expect as prints dry with this process.

 

This second contact print was made from 6x7 FP4+ 125, Pyrocat HD 2:2:100, 22ºC, 8'05", 10secs manual agitation per minute.

 

Exposure was 6'15", full sun with cloud, 5/7/2020, 12:30pm

23.5ºC, RH 52%, paper dried for 1hr20mins, no prehumidification.

Today, I made some photograms in the darkroom. This one was a seven second exposure, using a glass jar full of folded pieces of paper, and some string. It's a really interesting techniques and creates x-ray style images.

Another plate from my first venture further upriver. This was the first plate of the morning, before the sun broke through to light up the river.

Kallitype contact print (hand-coated photo-sensitive emulsion).

 

While walking around the `Iolani Palace grounds near Halekoa (the Palace Barracks), an inquisitive Manu-o-Kū (Fairy Tern) hovered in front of me for a moment.

 

I managed to photograph it as it carefully examined me.

A Kodachromed rollercoaster in Silverwood, Idaho. I guess if the world is ending, you might as well go for one last ride.

 

Cross-processed kodachrome (HC110 B&W chemistry). Cross-processing leaves an odd powdery residue on the film, which is what gives it such an odd look, plus the almost cyanotype feel.

Hand-coated Canson Montzval watercolor paper exposed to sunlight for approximately eight minutes using a digital internegative. Original photo made on Ilford Delta P3200 film using a Leica M2 and Zeiss Sonnar 50mm f/1.5.
