Fun Vibes from Funky Venice Beach

Its Sunday morning, the 26th of July 2020, Venice Beach is is like walking on the wild side or something out Hollywood type creation.  The weather was warm, but the June gloom (marine layer) is still hovering over the morning hours.  Shot using a Nikon D600 with 50 mm 1.8 lens.

Cyanotype Prints

Cyanotype was developed by Herschel in 1842.  This is the method used to make blueprints.  I created 7.5" X 10" negative from either digital photos or actual film.  Cyanotype is blue in color, but can be toned, I have used coffee (make print black in color) and tea (brownish tone) the toning color is by trail & error.  These prints all seem to have flaws here and there, and this is a work in progress.
