Cyanotypes
Cyanotype photography was developed by John Hershel in 1840 and it was the first non-silver technology to create photographs. It did not become famous before Anna Atkins, a British scientist, started publishing books with cyanotypes of ferns in 1841.
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.

Akershus festning - cannon in front of the Stallgården
Akershusfestning, Oslo, Oslo, Norway The Knut Tower (About 1300) In the Middle Ages the Knut Tower was known as the Canons' Tower and constructed as a crossfire tower on the north-western side. For a long period it was full of prisoners. In 1641 a horse-powered mill was build here, and the tower was later used as a powder magazine too. The name is a reference to the knight Knut Alvssøn, who was said to have lain unburied in the tower for 12 years after being killed by Henrik Krummedike in 1502. In recent times the tower has been partly reconstructed on the old walls. Source
