I was atthe CNE (Canadian National Exhibition) Midway last night.
Crowds, nosie and chaos.
All images taken with Sony a6100 body, and TTArtisan 75.mm f/2.8 fisheye lens.
Chaos
Working With an Accident
This hand-tinted cyanotype began as an iPhone photograph of the centre of a bowl/plate that someone left out on their lawn. But when I made the digital negative to make the cyanotype contact print I forgot to invert it, so the negative was a positive.
I decided to go with it, and tired hand-tinting the “negative” cyanotype with watercolour pigments. Here is the results.
Note: instead of just scanning the print, I just took a photo of the entire thing.
Back to Niagara-On-the-Lake
I jsut got back from our yearly theatre weekend in Niagara-On-the-Lake, so the next few posts will be images of that town. I am strtin off with some night photography, all taken with my Sony a7iii body and Tamron 28-75mm lens.
Adding Colour, Number #2
Another hand-tinted cyanotype of rusted streetcars at the Halton Rail Museum. Again, watercolours were used.
Adding Colour
This print of a derelict street car at the Halton Rail Musuem started off as a standard cyanotype, but I decided to explore adding colour via watercolour. I like the results!
Black Creek Pioneer Village
it has been at least twenty years since I hve been at this location. During this return visit I was shooting with my Sony a6100 and TTArtisan 7.5mm f/2.8 lens. I liked the indoor images I was getting.
Through the Morning Rain
I took this image through the windshield of our car using my iPhone as we sat in the rain this past Sunday morning.
First Fisheyes in a While
Yesterday I went down to see the partially reopened trail in the south Don River here in Toronto. I decided to shoot my 4mm f/2,8 fisheye for the first time in a while.
60
An image of a bike wheel and shadows, rotated to look like the number 60 and printed as a cyanotype.
Old and New
This image combines 21st century digital editing techniques (NO AI!) to combine various images into an imaginary scene, then printed as a cyanotype, a process dating back to 1841.
