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.
Motutara - Sulphur Point, Roturua
Rotorua, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
Motutara - Sulphur Point, Roturua. Motutara means Bird's Island in Māori, so I assume that this little island in Lake Rotorua was already inhabited by many birds when the Lake and Island were discovered by the two Māori Ihenga and his uncle Kahumatamomoe. The full name of Lake Rotorua in Māori is Te Rotorua-nui-a Kahumatamomoe, meaning "the lake of Kahumatamomoe, discovered second" as before arriving at Rotorua they had already discovered Lake Rotoiti or in its full Māori name Te Rotoiti-kite-a-Ihenga, meaning "The small lake discovered by Ihenga", it later turned out the lake was not as small as they first had thought though.
