I also bought a "create your own pinhole camera" kit, and am excited to try that!<br /><br />I'm a native Michigander, but recently moved to Texas - and if you can believe this, we have more snow than y'all do up North. <br /><br />Waiting on the sun, so I can make some vintage looking prints.<br /><br />Love your blog, so glad I found it!<br />:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717981.post-40633614402812702092009-10-19T09:49:31.570-04:002009-10-19T09:49:31.570-04:00I really enjoy doing cyanotypes, but I find that t...I really enjoy doing cyanotypes, but I find that the pre-packaged kits give really weak tones and tend to fog. Cyanotype does seem to benefit from coating, drying, and printing within a couple of hours at most.<br /><br />The good thing is that cyanotype chemistry is cheap (about $20 of chemicals will last a lifetime) and any good strong watercolour paper will work. <br /><br />A handy tip is to add a bit of hydrogen peroxide (either "chlorine-free bleach" or first-aid peroxide, but not Oxi-Clean) to the final wash. This brings up the final colour without waiting for dry-down. Very dramatic.Jordanhttp://www.photosensitive.canoreply@blogger.com
