Something that I would like to point out is that the solutions don't become light sensitive when you mix them, the FAC (Ferric ammonium citrate) is light sensitive all the time but by mixing it with the other solution (potassium ferricyanide) it becomes blue were light hits it. Therefore the FAC should be kept away from strong light sources regardless if its mixed or not with the other solution. That's why you can coat paper with the FAC expose it and then later "develop" by applying the other solution.

You’ve got your 50th subscriber, so please make some more videos. You are exceptional at explaining what you are doing, with no "ers" or "ums" you would have got with me. I think it’s brilliant for the 'art' of creating something photographic that younger people are seen to be going beyond "taking an interest". I think this is possibly one of the best first videos I’ve seen, the only other one that I think is on par with it is another by a young lady photographer who ended up only making the one.

great tutorial but i'm a bit confused about your preparation for mixing and coating cyanotype. i've always done this is the almost dark, as i've read that the liquid is more light sensitive until it dries. it looks like you're mixing and coating outdoors where UV is very present -- am i missing something?
@laurenfiebert9850
7 жыл бұрын
Leesa Bringas , I understand the concern . When mixing the two solutions together it becomes light sensitive. Not as light sensitive as other alternative processes but yes it does start to develop if you leave it in a UV lit area. Here in this video I'm coating under a porch overhang in shade and decided for the tutorial to mix up a small solution to coat two pieces of paper. I quickly coated my paper and went inside in a room with the lights off. I blew dry the paper then exposed it right away outside. For editing purposes and shorting of the video you miss this step. If your paper is still a gatorade yellow it hasn't begun to develop. If I'm working in the studio I usually have a red light on and coat with the red light facing the ceiling. I then place my wet sheets of paper in a flat file to dry and remain safe from Light. Whatever you decided to do for your coating process , just stay consistent and record your times.

To address the chemical disposal and interesting back woods way that I did here in this video. 1. It is safe to dump down the drain with diluted amounts of water. I washed my print with 1800 ml water plus the rinse of a garden hose. Lots of water is happening. This is a iron based process as well. Although one chemical is named Potassium Ferricyanide . Cyanide is a scary word here, but it is cyanide bonded to iron. You would need to expose this chemical to extreme temperatures 300+ and very harsh acids for this to become toxic causing the iron is split from the cyanide therefore creating gas. Im never dumping fully concentrated chemical down drains or in grass. This is one of the least toxic photographic process out there.

This video is extremely old and I prefer to remain a introverted artist who speaks through images. I do not like to be videotaped. This video was created for a class assignment and I never imaged it to have this many eyes on me. If you are implying in your comments as a means to troll, make fun, or examine how I speak/ mis spoke. I can assure you there is no room for that here. This is a learning tool. I stand against disempowerment . I alone do not have all the answers. You must do YOUR research practice and fail to find your way yourself. I am not perfect, but I do have passion for photography and it’s historic practices and my experimental approaches. Not here to offend please practice kindness. I have gone on to expand on this process to this day where glass is my substrate. Still unclear on your “encouragement” to use google ? I recommend finding literature to confirm this process yourself. I have since graduated with my MFA. I have years of research in this process and practice before and after this video was created.

Hello Tom Simonson, The arm & hammer soda wash is only used for the tea toning/split toning technique. As far as doing the traditional Cyanotype print you will need three trays. Tray 1 (Water) Tray 2 ( Hydrogen peroxide ) Tray 3 ( Final wash tray with water) ****Using distilled water should be used when mixing chemistry.**** It is also a good idea to us distilled water to avoid any outside contaminates that may be in your everyday tap water. Using distilled water will help avoid bleaching out of the cyanotype print. I hope thats helpful! If you have another questions i'm usually quicker to respond through my Instagram name Laurenfrancesfiebert. There i'm notified quickly through my cellphone and can help you through the process! -Lauren

@jaylee5639

I know this is two years later, but the chemicals in the blue part are basically iron, citric acid, salts and ammonia. They are considered non-toxic but maybe mild irritants. The grams are dependent on how many prints you are making but it is a 1:1 ratio for the A and B solutions. The hydrogen peroxide and soda ash toners are about the same as any other bleaching agent in terms of corrosive-ness and environmental concerns. Again, the amount is based on preference, but you can see she doesn't use much. All together, I'd treat the chemistry used about like I would any cleaning supplies and make sure to be careful, away from kids and pets, and have good ventilation and gloves.
