Unfortunutly, the ISO on cyanotype is so low that it would take MUCH too long to get anything onto the film, unless you are photographing the sun's movements. I do believe there are UA-cam videos on people trying this out and barely getting anything out of it.
@@thatrecord5313 yeah i thought so too. also did a little reading. someone even tried to take a photo like this over the course of a year and barely got something. just wanted to hear your opinion on that. thank you very much :)
@@thatrecord5313 You've got your facts straight. 👍 200 - 400 ISO film is normal. 50-100 is slow. Old School glass plates are rated at ISO 2-25; those are super slow speeds you'd expect if you had Abraham Lincoln in your studio. I've read that cyanotype emulsion is rated at ISO .01 - .001. A pinhole exposure would take - and this is a guess - something like ten squillion years just to create a vague smudge on the paper. IMHO, of course. 😐
It's an interesting process but you should show people what you hope to achieve first. 99% of your viewers are going to get bored to death trying to figure out what you're doing and why. Start off with either the finished product, a picture or at least a diagram to help keep interest up.
I understand, this whole UA-cam stuff is quite the struggle. I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I should get the finished image from part two and put it into the beginning of the video. I will be sure to do that in the future! Thank you.
i'm thinking about doing something similar, but without the lens. just a pinhole. do you think that would work or would it take too much time?
