Another A3 #cyanotype. This time I bleached and then toned it with tītoki (Alectryon excelsus) leaves. They do work but with a more subtle result than oak, and I needed to leave in the toning bath for over 12 hours. I tried a different paper too, but I think it was a little too heavily textured - ironic as it was 3x as expensive as the budget watercolour paper I used for my first A3 prints.
Image is perhaps a touch underexposed although with watercolour pencils has come up ok. I think with a dark mat board it would look ok.
House is beside State Highway One in North Canterbury near Cheviot I think. I've driven past it for years before finally stopping to take a photo.

My obsession with #cyanotype continues. I've figured out how to make big (A3) negatives, and this is a print I made of St. John in the Wilderness church at Koromiko (Between Blenheim and Picton). Opened in 1871, and apparently attended by Catherine Mansfield, it seems fitting to reproduce with a 19th Century process.
Because blue gets a bit boring, I toned it with some oak leaf extract from leaves I collected in a local park in autumn.
I hand coloured with professional watercolour pencils.
Only in a cheap frame as it gets expensive to get custom ones made for every print unless I sell something.

A post by a friend reminded me that I have a bit of a guilty pleasure of appreciating old flying machines. I realise aviation isn't the most environmentally friendly, but short local flights at low speed by lightweight aircraft are a far cry from intercontinental flights by large airliners weighing many tons, up in the stratosphere.
I figured if I was going to photograph a vintage aircraft, it might be fun to reproduce the image using vintage techniques.
This is a cyanotype, bleached then toned in strong tea, and hand painted with watercolour paints, so an iconic British aircraft reproduced using chemistry discovered by Sir John Herschel, then toned in that quintessential of English drinks, tea.
I suspect this aircraft will be participating in Classic Fighters in a couple of weeks at Easter.
