Duotone cyanotypes " Part 7 the last layer and FINAL IMAGE! "

[@CrinaPrida]

I have watched the entire tutorial. and I think it is a fantastic example of how knowledge and technique should work together for perfect results. Thank you very much. I am not a patient kind of person, but I will however give duotone a try after watching this.

Thank you, I really appreciate all that went into this series. It seems very thorough and well explained. I love the final images, can't wait to try creating some of my own.

Could you post a quick video showing off the final print once its dry compared to what the digital layers combined looked like?

[@matthewbary1]

I posted the picture on my channel. Let me know if you can see it please.

thank you very much for this video series. I will give it a try... :)

Do you know if there are any health risks from using the exposure lamp? 11:10

@sillysandwich4654 While the particular wavelengths used in these led lights are not necessarily dangerous like sun rays, I would still use eye protection. It might look dull, but that is just because we can't see those wavelengths and it is 80 watts so definitely wear eye protection

I may be wrong, let's start with that possibility. if you have a 10% solution (say 1 gram in 10 ml) and you double the water = 20ml, you now have a 5% solution. when you took the 10 ml of solution A and added 10 ml of solution B you now have 1 gram of a in 20 ml of water and 1 gram of b in 20 ml of water. combining the mixed solutions created a 5% solution already. when you added the 20 ml more to "half" the formulas you now have - still, 1 gram of A and 1 gram of B each in 40 ml of water or a 2.5% solution. when you mixed them together they were already halved and now you quartered them. Figure if you took solution A (1 gram in 10 ml) and added 10ml of water, it's now 5% without any of the water in solution B and it's extra 10 ml. what happens to the extra water? I believe it is 5% when you mix the two together. Again I reserve the right to be wrong. I kinda think I might be right.

A normal cyanotype solution is a 20/10 mixture, I am diluting the 20 solution in half making it 10 and only that one for the first layer, the second layer is the 10/10 solution diluted in half which would bring the individual components to 5/5.
