Hi Doug - these are on Stonehenge 110 lb I believe. Classic formula but my initial wash is 50/50 - 5% white vinegar to water, for about a minute.

Barry, is it going to be a pinhole camera?

In the words of Rob Petrie on The Dick Van Dyke Show - "Like the last living cell in a dead body".

Some recent'r cyanotypes - all from 6X6cm negs shot in TLR cameras.

What a wonderful idea for the curved film plane. Guess I need to get busy.

I have made a few pinhole cameras over the years, mostly from modifying old roll film cameras. I have recently acquired a large film holder (8.5x15") and I want to build a wide angle box pinhole...

Thanks Barry

Thanks Earl, I am really enjoying this process.

Resurrecting an old thread, but some might find my experience interesting.

I cemented a pair from surplus shed with a super glue that was designed for glass - I no longer have the tube as it...

A friend happened to mention in an email (back in April) that he was doing a test with a pinhole for his 8X10 camera in preparation for World Wide Pinhole Day. It had been years since I...

Joe, when I purchased my chemicals I also got some tannic acid, which is used for just what you are referring to - the brownish tint. I have toned some pre-coated cyanotypes before, in strong tea or...

These next three from 8X10 negs - the paper is not that yellow - didn't do a good job of white balancing when taking a picture of the finished products :(

Been a member for a while but looks like I have never posted. Perhaps I can bring this sub-forum back to life. I have just gotten started on coating my own cyanotypes (classic formula) and I am so...

I have processed for many years in trays. I have processed up to 20 sheets at one time but consider that a tad to many. I comfortably process 10-14 sheets at a time in 8X10 trays. I have been...
