One of the best Cyanotype Videos I have seen.. Thanks Photography 101..

Thanks for such a great explanation on the whole process Scott Whittendurg.. 

 A great Video of pretty much Step by Step on how to create a lovely Cyanotype. I have to find a dark place to coat and dry my paper..

 

Sometimes it's nice to get Blue....

Was trawling around a few website the other day and was wondering why we don't look deeper sometimes. So wandering around alternativephotography.com I came across something that, for lack of a better word, every man woman and child should be introduced to. Cyanotyoes.

These can be made pretty easy with some basic chemistry available from most good Photographic store's. You can get a basic 1 bottle pre-mixed or a kit to mix together yourself. If your really daring you can get it in it's most basic forms and mix it all up your self.

Rather than me waste your time going through the whole thing have a read of this article as it goes through the steps from start to finish.

If your in Australia places like Vanbar Imaging and Gold Street Studios have the chemistry and if your really really nice, they will even give you a ton of information if you ask nice.

LOMO Photography.... Great Fun..

Well I dropped into Bond Imaging to day to pick up some prints of head shots I have done for a friend and realized my film was also ready to collect.

I had shot a roll of 120mm B&W film over a few weeks just as a fluff about, and DAM they look good. I really think they hold some odd feel and look. They have a tone and color that is second to none, and can't be reproduced in digital. It makes me realize why people are starting back to the "Old Ways" of photography. I plan on printing a few negatives on some Projector Plastic (acetate) and print them with Cyanotype (check out Alternative Photography for more information) .

Very glad I gave it a try, and plan on doing a little more with it. I will post a picture in the next day or so.
