In this video, I'll be using the ferric ammonium citrate that I made to make "blueprints" of my own digital photos. Then, at the end, I'll try toning them with tea and coffee to change the color.
This process is called cyanotype or "blueprinting"
This video is the last in a series of 3:
•Part 1 - Making Prussian Blue - • Making Prussian Blue
•Part 2 - Making my own blueprint - • Making my own blueprint

I'm a photographer and I definitely wouldn't consider 22:48 underexposed. Even the pre-toned one looked acceptable to me. You definitely lost plenty of contrast and thus some detail in the highlights, but if you'd exposed it any more, I think you'd have lost the detail in the storefronts and buildings (which comprises the majority of the composition). I think it looks quite nice.

While I agree with you that the image doesn't look underexposed at all in the video, it's hard to tell if the same applies to the image in real life as the camera/editing software may be compensating a little bit. At the beginning of the video, he mentions that they look different from the video.

​@@spartacus17. Ethiopia in the earlier parts of the 1400's. The bean spread over the 15th century through Middle East, where it was discovered to taste rather good when roasted and made into "tea". It then spread back around to Africa in its drink form over the 16th century, before spreading north towards Balkan and the rest of Europe towards the latter half of the 16th century. By the early parts of the 20th century, American troops had gotten so used to their daily coffee, but evolution of combat meant you could no longer brew it on the battle field. The American military put their brightest minds to the task and discovered if you dry-freeze coffee (how you dry-freeze a liquid is beyond me) it becomes very soluble in hot water, and tastes almost the same. Thus instant coffee was invented somewhere around the earlier parts of the war. Well, one of the wars, not sure which one.

Here's something I learned from making my own printed circuit boards. You should ideally actually mirror the image and put the toner side down. That way, light won't come in from the side and creep in under the toner through the transparency. This helps keep lines nice and sharp.
@masondaub9201
@masondaub9201 5 жыл бұрын

My photoresist loves sticking to the transparency sheets I use, so I have to leave the very thin protective plastic on the top layer. Even though it is much thinner than the transparency itself the difference between sunlight and the LED street lamp I tried to use at first to get consistent exposure time is pretty big.

Mason Daub an LED street light is the wrong kind of light source to use. It contains blue light which will very slowly cure the photoresist, but it's not ideal. You should use UV light. A bigger UV LED nail curing lamp should do the trick.

In chemistry-based photography there is the idea of reciprocity, where exposing film or paper for twice as long at half brightness will give the same exposure. ISO 200 film at 1/500th second is the same as ISO 100 at 1/250th. But in really long exposures, on the order of above a minute, there is "reciprocity failure": a ten minute exposure isn't the same as a fie minute exposure one stop down. From your experiment it seems like that may apply to cyanotypes too.
@dylangergutierrez
@dylangergutierrez 3 жыл бұрын
There's also the idea of the Exposure/density curve. This is ideally a straight line for film in the region you're exposing for, but for cyanotype they are very nonlinear with a hard toe and shoulder.

In the final scene, did you just expose FAC coated paper and then brush on PF? That's allegedly how Herschel did it though we haven't tried ourselves. Very enjoyable series seeing you come at it from a different angle. If you try other recipes doing your first rinse in 1% Citric Acid lowers the contrast and helps other tones to the party. There are also a few published curves for Photoshop to adjust the tones for better representation. A Photoshop script called Chartthrob (Free) can be used to generate your own curves. Lastly, we never have luck making laser digital negatives. Inkjet is much better but make a test to see which color ink in your printer blocks the most UV. Reddish orange Canon inks work much better than black for us.

Here are a couple tips that I think could help. The negative is one of the most important things so you can convert the color image into a halftone first before inverting to a negative. This will allow you to adjust your levels more equally for just a single color exposure like your doing here or even for the duo tone. Also place the emulsion side of your negative closest to the paper, this will allow for less uv light to "bleed" under the blacked out portions which is a result of the very minute thickness of the transparent layer and you can also buy thinner transparency to reduce the amount of uv light to bleed. The closer you can get your negative to lay to the paper the better your result will be. In the print shop we vacume the negative down to the paper to get it as close as possible. Makes a huge difference. Also you could try a lower dpi "dots per inch" on the printer when printing the negative. Sometimes higher dpi washes out even though it's better quality some paper just can't hold it so try lowering the dpi to like 300 or 200 or 150 and see the difference in results. These are all things you can do that I feel would really help. I think it would be awesome to get some blueprints with lots of linework to expose. Like the Eiffel tower or the colleseum.

This is what I think caused some difficulty with dialing in the exposure of the print. When enlarging from film negatives (assuming the film was properly exposed and developed) you have information all over the negative and can adjust the exposure of the print gradually. If the digital image has too much contrast the properly exposed region between underexposed --> no detail

I always enjoy your videos greatly, but this one is, as of yet, my favorite video of yours. Some years ago, I started out with digital photography but not long after moved into film photography and darkroom processes, then followed by historical photographic processes. To see you go through step-by-step the recreating of what was done in the 1860s and on is quite fantastic. Trying to get the chemistry of the process properly working, to compensate exposure, to test different exposures and times of the day right for UV light, the way you test exposures by exposing the image for different times to check the density... You even got to the basis of density (Dmax) and reciprocity charts. It's all exactly what was and still is done in the making of a photographic print. *THIS* is the basis behind all the research and standardization in the photographic industry, creating UV-exposure units and emulsion-coating. It's what Kodak and Fuji, among many other chemical/photographic industries, did up until quite recently in 2004 when digital started to take over the market. As I said before, this is a fantastic work and video. Congratulations.

The non-linear exposure response over time has been known for a very long time in the film world. A specific example is film-make star trail images. If an exposure is made over 2 hours, the stars move, making a trail for each visible star. However, on film, each trail begins to fade out, as the exposure time / effect begins to diminish. This effect is called reciprocity failure, and is exactly what you describe here. Charts are/were even distributed to help photographers deal with the phenomenon on long exposures. www.ilfordphoto.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Reciprocity-Failure-Compensation.pdf

It’s important to note that the art paper is not only thicker and more durable but acid free which could likely help with the cyanotyping process

I would look into MOOC opportunities. These are Massive Online Open Courses and are essentially (usually) free online based courses with aims of reaching many people. These are a good bet and usually easy to find. Many universities have their classes recorded and used for these giving you the same knowledge, just not the hands on experiences associated with those classes

If you're just "some guy" with no chemistry background, you'll land on several government lists for ordering certain chemicals and glassware. So, watch it. If you decide to go forward, make sure you never order or make any DEA listed chemicals. Also, have someone teach you basic lab safety precautions. You can't replace your eyes.

To work with watercolor paper the best way without getting it to wrinkle or expand is to presoak it in a low level of water for a few seconds and then lay it in a flat suface and fix it with kraft gummed paper tape and then allow it to dry. Once dry it's ready to be used and it won't shrink or expand

He wasnt sure it was a scam (and not the product but the ad contract), what he focused on and what was the message of the video was that you should really use and get to know the products you advertise, and only advertise those that you think are really valuable to you and your audience, otherwise you will lose credibility, and in the end you will lose more money because of your lack of credibility that what you make for those ads.

This looks like a lot of fun, I might try it sometime! Perhaps there could be a way to "paint" chemicals onto the exposed print before processing it in a way that will make them react into a desired colour. Of course, that's just a thought. It would probably be hard to figure out something like that, anyway.

The emulsion of the two solutions changed color just like if you were mixing paints, the FAC is a dark green, and the PFC is a lighter orange. It's a super fine dispersion of different colored particles that appear as a solid color from a distance

I teach high school art. I love collaborating with our chemistry teacher to do cyanotypes with our classes. His classes prepare the solutions, mine prepare the negatives, everyone gets cool prints! They really enjoy the hydrogen peroxide trick. Another toning option is bleaching and then using the Van Dyke Brown method and re-exposing with the same negative. You get some really cool blue and brown color effects. One more thing to keep in mind is accounting for the thickness of the transparency film. I always flip the image horizontally so it is backwards so I can place the printed side down on the paper. It's a small detail, but light can get under the toner if the printed side is on top and can cause a tiny amount of fuzziness. Perhaps not a big deal to most, but i do like my prints to have the sharpest detail i can get!

I did something similar a few years ago using sun print paper (basically cyanotyping in the form of a kid's toy) and a digital projector to produce an image, with some experimentation of exposure times, it was quite possible to produce an image with multiple tones. I also found that stain removing powder was quite good for enhancing contrast.
