Re: Re: A pinhole classic

Hi Malin,
Sorry I just spotted your post in my spam folder - I'll have to wade through
the rest in a minute and make sure there's nothing else that shouldn't be
there. Yes cyanotypes. I was about to say, what puts me off is that they are
blue and I could probably tone for that if blue was what I wanted. However I
read the short article and indeed it may be an interesting starter. I've
just got hold of a 25cm diametre industrial tube similar to a sono tube but
a super light black plastic. I want to make a pinhole camera for single shot
paper negs which I was then going to tone with selenium but I think I could
perhaps experiment with cyan at the same time. This is all for the autumn,
Iittle time at present. But thanks for the suggestion.
