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.

Sunset over Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell, Grundarfjörður, Western Region / Snæfellsnes Peninsula Peninsula • Iceland Lucky for us there are not many people around when we arrive at Kirkjufell. The path to our photo spot is icy to say the least, so I am happy to have my ice-spikes on my shoes. Converted to Black and White with Silver Efex Pro, using a Full Contrast and Structure (024) preset. Added Cyanotype (11) toning. uuid="5985AE12-7590-4367-8D21-DF56ED868FC6" id="Iceland lilleulven.com _K3_09868-Bearbeitet.tif Cyanotype Lilleulven.com"
