A nice subject for cyanotype is a picture of clouds. Take a B&W picture of clouds, use a yellow filter to intensify them and then print as cyanotype. It works amazing because the clouds will come out white, and the sky ... you guessed it, cyan. So it really looks like a colour print of a beautiful summer sky.

A really neat next step for Cyanotypes is to then tone the resulting print with Tea. I've also seen other people use coffee or wine to tone but the best results, to my eye, are those done with tea toning. You end up with a look somewhere between sepia and a Van Dyke brown print depending on how long you leave it sitting in the tea. There are YT videos explaining the tea toning process if anyone wants to look into that further.

I took a Cyanotype workshop last year and had a lot of fun. For someone without access to a darkroom, this is a fun way to make prints.

I love cyanotypes. you should do more alterative processes. I do a lot of Wetplate myself.

Now I see what I probably did wrong with that sunprint kit I bought. I put it under my enlarger but of course with normal light bulbs in it. I guess I'll just pick up some UV bulb and try it again. Thanks for the video Matt!

Hello Matt, i apologize for my question. My knowledge of chemistry is nonexistent. But cyanotype is so very interesting. Your KZbin is so interesting. On my computer i can invert my picture to black and white and print it to a transparency film. The brand is GW Gwybkq. Do you think i can use this film printout for learning cyanotype?

Free Style and Bostwick &Sullivan are reliable sources for kits. I want want to go full tilt boogie Obsessive/compulsive, buy the chemical components and compound them yourself. You can make small batches (just what you need to coat 6 or so sheets for immediate use) and save a ton of money.

Hey Matt, you get better results if you turn the color of the digital negative to red before printing :)

Hi Matt, thanks a lot for this one! Cyanotypes are a technique I had almost forgot about. A suggestion for future episodes: Ilfochrome/CibaChrome (internal: P-3x) or even platinum prints would be great topics as well. Or what about blue toning, selenium toning? Too bad KZbin won't deliver the smell :-)) My 2 cents about evenly-UV-exposed prints: I just bought me a used face tanner (UV sun lamp) for €1,-- from eBay. Combined with a diffusion glass screen (plus some cooler fan) it should make for a decent UV light source that guarantees re-producable results. I'm still fiddling around with the final DIY construction, but everything smaller than 8 by 10 (approximately the size of my diffusion screen) should probably work just fine...

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have a question...I know they are called "cyan"otypes, but is there a way to change the color to black? Fully oxidize somehow maybe? I liked your tip on hydrogen peroxide to darken the blue, btw, and I wondered if you could take it to black in the same way?

I know I'm late as hell but develop the impossible project photos in the dark. It should say for how much time on the box deepening on what version you have. Some are 30-40 mins while others are 10 mins.

Suggestion: Under that kind of sun, you're probably just fine after leaving it for 3.5 min. 5 to 10 minutes were way too long.
