Developing the Cyanotype Print

Video Transcript

"So now I'm just holding my print in my hand and I'm just going to put this in good old water. Distilled or filtered water if you have it tends to work a little bit best. Here I go, cross my fingers, wow, it's coming out. So it's twenty minutes outside. Now the real change happens when I pour my peroxide on. Now some photographers don't use peroxide. That's fine. I like speeding up the process a little bit. Yeah, it looks nice. I'm really probably using way too much peroxide. Then I let it sit in there a little bit. Now peroxide is fine for you. If you have cuts or anything, I do have some pretty big cuts on my hands so, you might want to use gloves sometimes but ah, this one came out nice. See, there's just some days that it works, some days where it doesn't. This may be a day when it's going to work for me. This one is going to tone and tea really nice too. But I wanted to show everyone, really blue, toned and tea. I go between liking one more than the other, I don't know. I'm definitely going to put this one in the tea. So I'm going to put this one in the tea and then we're going to look at it in a little while, we're going to see how much it changed."
