Cyanotypes
While usually cyanotypes are created by mixing two chemicals with water before mixing the solutions in equal parts and soaking some cotton rich paper with it, which then - once it is dried - is exposed to UV light to create the photograph, the cyanotypes here are created digitally from color RAW files which I developed in Lightroom and converted into Cyanotypes in Silver Efex Pro.
River Frya near the former Power plant in Bergsveinhølen
Bergsveinhølen, Oppland, Norway I wanted to try out my ND10 filter a long time, while this river is running almost too fast to give me the effect I am out after, I still decided to go for a 25 second exposure. It is not exactly what I usually would have been looking for, but still leads to beautiful captures. Not extending my tripod fully gives me a beautiful view on this little waterfall, and with the long time exposure the slow running water in the foreground gets a beautiful misty effect in some areas, brightening these just enough to create a nice entry into the photo without taking away from the waterfall in the background. Converted to a Cyanotype in Photoshop by converting first to Black and White with the Standard settings and then adding a Hue and Saturation Mask with Hue = +240 and Saturation = +25 uuid="3E7D14F3-180D-4133-8116-0ACE2913DF0C" id="Norway lilleulven.com _K3_9472_cyanotype.psd Cyanotype Lilleulven.com"
