Second cyano attempt

I like it. Working on my first right now.

Better than my first attempt. Are you using the traditional formula? If so, once you have got the hang of the technique, I suggest you give the Mike Ware formula a try. Good luck Simon

Both of your images are great. You might try a couple of things to tease out a little more detail. Paper does make a difference. I've good results with Canson Edition which is pretty inexpensive. My first wash is a 10-12 part water to 1 part distilled white vinegar. Fresh water rinse second. A couple of minutes in a water bath with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide. I'm doing fairly large prints and use about 5 liters of water with 1 to 2 oz of peroxide. Final wash in fresh water. My exposures are about 2:30 to 3 minutes in a UV light box which I built for consistant exposures. I know that takes some of the fun out of it and I like semi-repeatable results. Bill Barber

I'm using the PF new cyanotype kit. The paper is cheap (but acid free) watercolor paper from Office Depot, but I will get better paper, once I have the technique down. I thought I had hydrogen peroxide in the house, but didn't. I plan on getting some, along with white vinegar, before my next attempts. I'm using the sun, now. If it's a technique which catches my fancy (I think it will), I will look into a UV source. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the guidance APUG members have given. The advice has substantially shortened my learning curve, and I look forward to sharing my future results.
