Henry Moore, Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Cyanotype contact print from a digital negative made from a 35mm digital colour original.
Trying out a new watercolour paper (@scribble_and_dot) which is nice and thick and takes the chemical coating well. Also now using an indoor UV light source, which cuts exposure time to around 6 minutes (2nd image)

Lith print from a colour digital original, via dig

Lith print from a colour digital original, via digital negative.

An unprepossessing colour 16:9 digital image (Image 2) converted to monochrome, adjusted, flipped horizontally & inverted to negative in Adobe Lightroom, printed onto Pictorico Ultra Premium transparency film on an ink jet printer (Image 3), then used to make a contact print on Fomatone fibre-based paper, processed in lith developer to make a toned high contrast archival print.
The horizontal flipping just because the flow of the image works better left to right.

All of this could have been achieved on my phone in minutes using Instagram filters, but it's a lot more fun this way.

Serendipitous print achieved by bleaching a spare

Serendipitous print achieved by bleaching a spare from this set https://www.instagram.com/p/CC6Bb7BACr0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link and redeveloping it in exhausted lith developer.
You never know what you’ll get and it’s totally unrepeatable, a real one-off.

The first successful #cyanotype. Previous attempt

The first successful #cyanotype.
Previous attempt did not have enough exposure in today’s weak sun, may need to invest in a UV lamp if I carry on doing these in the winter!
Contact print of a half plate negative made in the Gandolfi.
Chemicals mixed and paper coated last night.
More to come no doubt.

Fatsia leaf.
First image of the freshly fallen leaf on half plate film on the Gandolfi; second image made two days later on digital, both backlit.
The changes in shape, translucency and density as it dried quite visible.

I visualised this as monochrome but the colour version is rather lush.

Some things need colour, but can actually be effective in #monochrome as well. The main message dominates in the black & white version.

The making of… Throne of Planes.
The Gandolfi in its element.
A step ladder is an essential accessory with this camera.
Aficionados may note the tilted camera back to shift the plane of focus to match the plane of the planes (!!)
