Hi Sarah, nice one. Did you tone and / or fix this image to get to this specific result. Or is it a straight scan of the image after the exposure?

Thanks Marco, I only put it through fix, but wet the paper before exposure which gives a darker more detailed image. Different papers give various tones and colours though.

This really is lovely. You say you wet the paper, How do you do this - dip it, spray it, humidify it? I have been reading articles about lumen prints lately and have been thinking of trying it.

I sprayed it with water. Have a look at www.alternativephotography.com/process_lumen
or blog.sarahfoto.com if you want to see more pictures and read more about it. Try it, it's great fun!
