Alternative Processes through Digital Means Project Seven:


Cyanotype:
Before

After
This is my first cyanotype for this image I painted a blank template in a unique way and then pasted my image. I tinted my image blue and toned down the brightness and vibrance. I like how well you can see the brush strokes and the  brush tool I used. It was more of a spiral brush and you can see the strokes at the end. The image to me, makes me feel cold and I think that is represented well in the picture, since it's of the ocean. 

Before

After:
This image is my second cyanotype and I really like how it turned out. I did the same process with the first as the second, although I edited the photo a little differently. I tinted it blue and did a lighter shade of blue and lightened the picture. I like how you wouldn't be able to tell what the image was if it was just this picture . Overall I love the paint brush I used. It was really fun learning how to use a new technique like painting and apply it to a picture. I think the white in the background seeping through gives the image some mystery. 
Daguerrotype:
Before

After
This daguerrotype I really love. I think the image turned out very good and it gives a good older vibe. For editing, I cropped the photo and used a template I downloaded online. I put the template on top of the image and overlaid it. I added some specks of  paint to make it appear older. I edited the photo black and white so all the colors blended together.

Gum Bichromate:
 Before

This is my Gum Bichromate. For I just experimented with different layers and colors. I  used the brush tool first and tinted my picture blue before adding multiple layers of color. I like how you can see all the colors that were used and the border being organic. I enjoy how the Elk is looking at the camera I think it adds perspective to the picture. The original image isn't the same but, very similar to this one because I couldn't find the exact one.
Before

After
This photo I took at a pod near my beach house and I really like it. My camera string is in the first image so I had to crop that out. I used a bar paint brush tool and tried to create a creative border. I then tinted the image blue and added several layers. I used yellow, purple, pink and black while painting over my picture. To then get the image I wanted I played with the opacity and after that changed the vibrance and saturation so the photo didn't have so much pink. I like the tints of different colors throughout the picture and how the top is clear so you  make out the rocks at the bottom of the pond. The image to me, looks like it was almost done with watercolors which is neat.
