Samples

I've done a lot of experimenting and am starting to feel like I'm getting the hang of this. I had the greatest day yesterday in the process of attempting to expose and develop photos on site. I went to Simpson's Point and Harpswell to do this and got to soak up the sun at the same time my photos did. Unfortunately using salt water instead of regular water seems to turn all the whites in the photos a pale blue color. I'm still doing some research and consulting my chemistry-minded friends to figure out why this happens and if there's a way around it because ideally I would love to be able to include the specific locations in process this way. Below are two samples of some mildly successful cyanotypes (developed in clear water, not salt water). I'm also posting a few of my favorite photos from my trip to Pemaquid Point and Rockland a few weeks ago because I spent the afternoon editing through those photos.
