Wonderful images.

Useful information. I just tried my first ever cyanotype ( on a t-shirt) and had the same problem that you described. It washed out completely, no image, although a blue ring all around the edge of where the solution was applied. I had been doing a test strip from 1- 10 minutes. I thought that maybe I had left the Cyanotype solution to fory for too long, the instructions say that it is only stable for 2-4 hours. I had left the t-shirt to dry overnight. The UV light source I use doesn't state the actual wavelength, but I have always successfully used it for exposing my screen printing projects. I had thought that I had left the Cyanotype to dry for too long, following your information I now think that my light source may be the problem. Next step is to try exposing a T-shirt in the sun. Thanks for posting.

Thank you. your video is very useful i love it.

WOW, I lve the idea and thought you put in this creation. Amazing ... I'm always looking to buy cameras, making what I want to fit the lenses and focal look I want to get.

How kan I fix (secure ) te cyanotype the so that the print does not fade or hardly fade after several years ? Thks for te reply

You’re doing some very interesting stuff.

Interesting experiments 👍🏻

Thank you, Nicole. I would only use the hydrogen peroxide for one print. You can also use citric acid instead of oxalic acid to check the PH. This is perhaps more environmentally friendly and also healthier. Also I would size the paper. It is easier to wash off the non-exposed areas. I hope this makes sense.

Some great images there. Very impressionistic.

Should have called it cyanoTIP

Amazing journey to get to this point (watched your previous videos) !!! You're the only one doing this stuff on youtube :) I'm curious about the ratio for both coating and developing solutions

i make my own cyanotype with coffee. we need water color paper and black coffee powder and water mix the coffee solusion and mixsure the quality of the coffee solusion is strong color and put to the paper and you can print now exposure for a 1hour to 2hours and the photos is nigative you can make now!!

That's interesting the first shot has a blue mist around you

Nice presentation. Shots turned out great 👍 Thx for sharing

Beautiful video, beautiful images amazing work loved this video a new subscriber

Hi. I just came across your video series. So far, this first installment has been very instructional and engaging. I am a lens based artist in Ottawa and am just getting into Cyanotype art. I am looking forward to going through your complete series. Do you offer in-person workshops?

Thanks for the great video! So helpful! I was wondering if you need to create and store these solutions in a room without sunlight. I know that when these two solutions are mixed together and applied to a surface it must be done in a UV free room, just curious about beforehand.

Thank you ❤

Could you please let me know the CAS No of ferric ammonium citrate? the CAS Number written on the bottle?

Great documentation of your pinhole technique! Amazing to see an artist at work! I love the Fujichrome colors for this work. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel!

amazing!

my ferric ammonium citrate is brownish; it is not green. is it possible to use it?

I’m wondering if the hydrogen peroxide gets exhausted quickly or can it be used for more than one print. What’s your experience? Also, thanks so much for all of your posts! It’s really good following you.

it is a great tuturial. thanks

Nicole, a question about your XP2 in DDX chemistry. What are your processing times, DDX ratio and temps? I've used HC110 in the past with good results, but I am using DDX now. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you, FW

Great series, thank you

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing 🩵

Hello, i have a 365 nm but after 1 or also 2 hour exposing the picture doesn’t show. And the colour too. Never had problems with the sun but with artificial light it seems impossible. Any advice?

Great Video. I'm wondering what washing soda is? is that a kind of powdered bleach?

Really enjoyed your videos. I've learned a lot from them. I know that when mixing the 2 part chemicals ; it's a ratio of 1 to 1. But how do you determine how many drops per solution for different size images do use?

I know this is a few years old. But 'thanks' for another awesome video. I've been getting re-interested in pinhole photography, paper negatives and contact prints. I'll have to make an 8x20 box camera sometime soon.

I LOVE your comment voices. They are just so clear to be caught for a learner like me to meanwhile watch what you are doing. thank you and subscribed.

I would note that some filters mage from the plastic which block UV light. May be it explain a complete unexposed image under the 1 stop filter in a first try on this video.

Well done Nicole, always thinking of others 👍

Hi! quick question, will this method work without the chemicals?

Thank you for the advice. I just using an ultraviolet flashlight and lamp for trying out Cyanotype printing and Lumin printing and noticed the intensity of both light sources. The use of sunglasses make a lot of sense. Thank you for your videos.

I recently started working with resin and was amazed at how quickly I got a headache while working with UV lights. The protection is worth every penny.

A bunch of assumption. Most UV LEDs used by others for the Cyanotype process operate with around or slightly under 400 Nm wavelength. The reason could be of any other kind as well. Beginning with the glas infront of the LEDs, which sucks quite a bunch of UV light up to the used travelling distance of the light in context with the extremely low power of 20 W and the required timing being considerably too short.

For some reason, waterfalls fill my heart with nostalgia.

Wonderful advice. You are intelligent and creative, and it's sometimes tempting to just do something fun without safety precautions, because of curiosity. In photography there can be dangerous chemicals, harmful light frequencies, and huge energy overloads (for example, looking at the sun through a fast lens on a dslr). Hopefully, we can all live long lives, and taking precautions to avoid injury can prevent a decision we'll regret.

I like the ballistic spec wraparound UV A/B/Blocking Edge or Bolle shades.

Great job. I will remember the wavelength as the same number of days in a year so I won't forget it now.

Hi Guys, for small prints I am using an old uv lamp for gel or hybrid nails (older models with bulbs). Bulbs are usually 365nm (I have four 9W bulbs ) and exposure time takes about 3 -6 minutes for cyanotype or vandyke.

Just amazing, I am impressed.

It can be difficult taking photos of other folks art, but you did well at the start of the video Nicole. Loved the remainder, you are a top class photographer my friend 👍

What a great video! I have a C-330 and your project reminds me of a similar project I undertook and photographed back in 1972. You did a great job and got some outstanding photographs!

what an awesome video, was away for days, checked my notifications upon my return, hell yeah, been awhile, thanks for posting

Between the stills and the video you really created the mood to pull the viewers in. Thank you

Nice still and video. Looks like natural reclamation is underway there.
