Cyanotype: Historical and alternative photography
O**6
Going Back to Photographic Basics
This is a well designed book with fine illustrations on every page. It seems every aspect of the Cyanotype process is covered from mixing solutions, choosing papers, and toning. Oak bark, tea, and coffee can be used for toning, for example. There are also directions for two-color prints. This a great book for those who grew up in the computer age and want to try antique photographic processes and those, like myself, who studied photography in the 1960s and used 4 X 5 Crown Graphics. I have one and want to start using it again with the Cyanotype process. Cyanotype was discovered in 1842 by British astronomer John William Frederick Herschel. He also discovered fixing solution. How is that for going back to basics?

What an incredible, concise, thorough yet relatively simple guide!
What an incredible, concise, thorough yet relatively simple guide. I "met" Peter on FB, and he is very knowledgeable, and his books are amazing in their presentation. I purchased his "Easy Digital Negatives" since I was having issues with some other very technical methods, and his approach did the trick.I liked EDN so much that I went out and purchased this book. Looks like I'll be creating with Cyanotypes! Thanks Peter!
