Cyanotype - 3rd Day






I was having this inner fight in my mind whether to take a nap after the early morning heritage trail or continue with my little project.  I chose the latter as the weather was undeniably nice with bright sunlight and no rainfall.

I need to finish up the printing of postcards before Christmas anyway.












The sensitiser mix was 7ml Part A Potassium Ferricyanide and 5ml Part B Ferric Ammonium Citrate (1.5 :1 ratio). The results were alright - strong blue and nice contrast.

I've tried out the other method that I came across somewhere online - first properly expose the prints (10 mins), covered them up for a few mins (3 mins) and then exposed them again (3 mins).  Look at those marked with a tick at the top right corner.  I don't see a big difference of the print itself. Guess need to do some more tests with longer 'dark-out' timing.
