I carried on with my cyanotype experiments. I have always used an ultraviolet unit to expose them in the past, which takes about 6 minutes. I wanted to see if I could expose them with natural light so I sandwiched two negatives between pieces of chemically treated paper and a sheet of glass and left them for 1 hour 45 minutes in a window in the afternoon sun. I’ve been told that it’s quicker in summer, around an hour.
I developed them in cold water in the sink and I’m quite pleased with the results. The original images were small sketchbook drawings I did of pigeons some years ago. I scanned them and using Adobe Photoshop, reversed the image horizontally, inverted it into a negative and resized.


You captured the doves in your sketches so very good. I really love it. Have a happy day! 🙂
Thank you. Hope it’s as sunny with you as it is here 🙂
Unfortunately not. It’s grey November, but luckily without rain. We haven’t seen the sun for over a week now. And this will continue through the whole week. But maybe next week the sun shines again. 🙂
Maybe our sunshine will come over to you 🙂
Hopefully. Maybe you can send some to us. 😀
