I really like these pictures because they keep it simple, but are also amazing in their use of different levels of exposure that make the central object fade into blue on the edges. On a kind of painting like this I think it's important to have some negative space and have some blue background because the background in cyanotypes are super important to make the focus point look faded.

I think that manipulating light is a key skill

I thought that the first test went well. Just needed to get the general grasp of cyanotype photography. I thought that the leaf itself could've been more white, although I don't really know how to control that. maybe some of the light got under the leaf.

I thought the leaf is a good object to do because it's easy to recognise the outlines and it easy to press down onto the paper.

I would probably leave out the paper in the sun for longer, and also think more about the composition rather than putting some wool and a leaf on the page randomly.

I'm surprised that the process was as simple as just putting a leaf on a paper and then leaving it the sun. Although I know that this was the pre-made paper and there a more steps to making it from scratch.

1. What predictions can you make about the result of your prepared paper?

It will have more of an organisation and more to look at.

1. What are you hoping will happen with your negative exposure?

I hope that it will show more of a story, or a proper composition other then just a leaf on the side of the paper.

1. What will you do differently for your second found object exposure compared to your first?

I will add more and make it more complex so that there is more to look at, and more room to grow.

Here I wanted to see how I could use a paper to cover most of the page except for the areas around the main subjects (Leaves)

It didn't turn out so well because of the light going through the paper, and that the holes I cut werent big enough. I wanted to use the white to make the audience focus on the focal point. the reverse of what a cyanotype usually is.

It was really disappointing. There was barely any white and the black wasn't strong enough to fully block out the sun. Maybe this means I left it out for too long, or the shadows and blacks needed to be turned up in lightroom.

Much better end result with more of an outline and overall cohesion in the picture. Didn't make a new negative because I felt that the composition of the negative itself wasn't the problem, it was the contrast between the black and whites.

going into lightroom and boosting the black and increasing the shadows really helped. it makes it much harder for the sun's rays to go through and still put a mark on the page.

I think this could definitely work with the contrast between the splatter and the human face and fist.

It might have an issue with showing the finer details of the face because of the black dominance, although that's a risk I'm gonna take just for the plan.

After rinsing it seemed to have gotten worse than how it was directly after taking out of the UV, although I trust that after it dries it shows that I did a good enough job.

This really helps me relax because I was stressed by my own lack of organisation, but now that I just have to wait, I'm more relaxed and adopting more patience.

It looks very solid, the woman stature in the background could've looks better, but the splatter with the fist turned out much better than expected.
