Frosty Grass

Originally taken with my Nikon FG and the macro lens back in December.
Enlarged onto lith film, developed in ilford multigrade 1+9 for about 30 seconds... this is why there's an annoying fist-sized amount of underdeveloped stuff in the main grass heads on the right. I'm going to try a very very dilute solution of rodinal next, per suggestion from APUG chatroom.
Still, it's my first 8x10" cyanotype. Yay!!

oh yeah i forgot to add that I doublecoated this. It seems to give better blues sometimes.
Location

originally hp5 & rodinal, then onto Arista lith film & multigrade 1+9 for about 30seconds

fabriano watercolour paper & traditional cyanotype formula

very nice cyanotype. I like how the paper texture works with the image.
I have been developing lith film in HC-110 diluted around 1:14 from stock for around 10 minutes, and getting pretty good tonal range. Although, that's from a B&W original positive.
