Experiments in film soup - part 2

 

It's time for more film soup goodness! This batch of photos is from a roll of Fuji film 200 in my Minolta Maxxum 50 camera, souped with lime juice, dried, and specially processed. (See my previous post for more details on how the process works.)

Again with this roll, the effects are subtle-to-mid, enhancing but not substantially changing the imagery. It's a happy space for me.

The Greer tunnel on the Montour trail is turning into a perennial favorite subject. The addition of the metal panels done during an extensive renovation just takes everything to the next level, in person and in photos.

St. Francis looks appropriately ethereal.

The effect on bare sycamores by a creek is a great enhancement of something that I wouldn't have thought needed enhancement.

A historic house, and a glimpse of a bridge through late winter trees-- it's just thrilling to me how this process adds another layer of interest and meaning.

Experiments in wet cyanotype - part 91

Time for another round of wet cyanotype goodness! I started with a large panel of cotton sateen and some peony leaves.

Followed by a medium sized panel of cotton, with small woven details, and some fig leaves.

Next up, some mineral paper prints using Virginia creeper leaves.

And then some more peony leaves, also on mineral paper.

For all of these I used a splash of Solarfast mixed with the cyanotype chemicals.

Here they are after exposure but before rinsing.

I love the effect provided by the woven circle details in this cloth.

They are so pretty and interesting at this stage. Most of those brown and rusty tones will be lost in the rinse.

Here are the finished prints. I got just the right shade of peony pink on this one.

The fig leaves are slated for a current work in progress. I'm happy with the turmoil happening at the top.

These stayed lovely and delicate.

And these peony leaves are bold yet tranquil. I never tire of these experiments because they turn out different each and every time.
