A cyanotype pigeon because…well, why not? The original is a little sketch I did into my sketchbook. I scanned into my computer and reversed it into a negative in Adobe Photoshop. Then I printed it onto a sheet of acetate and used it to make the cyanotype in an exposure unit. I used Bockingford paper (350gsm) coated with chemicals I mixed fresh. With hindsight, I should have cut around the bird so it isn’t sitting in a square of white against the blue background.
