Lack of some amount of sunshine is rarely a problem here, it seems. I did this next cyanotype outdoors in very overcast light while it was snowing lightly. The snow was minor since a sheet of glass covered everything, and overcast light possibly was perfect because of how even and omnidirectional it was. The contrast that I achieved in this print surprised me; the dark areas just turned out so much darker than the last print.
I still had sensitizer left, so I decided to try some prints on fabric as well. These I exposed for almost 2 hours, maybe longer, under a 200 watt bulb. They didn’t turn out as even as I’d like, but I was rushing things a bit and some spots of the towel weren’t fully dry when I started exposing. However, I’m still impressed with how it turned out.
Rob next door to the Hive loaned me a halftone negative he had (since I had nothing else on hand in the way of transparencies) and I made a few exposures of this, but had some problems with the highlights. I really should find some negatives that aren’t monochrome (as this was, being a halftone image) so I can figure out how to get the tones right.
