van dyke window

Last of the experimental van dyke prints- have to try more negative making using inkjet. Image taken with iphone, transferred to computer then inverted in PS and printed on inkjet film. Coated Fabriano paper with silver nitrate/ ferric ammonium citrate solution. Placed negative on paper and exposed in UV light unit for 30 mins. Washed for ages then fixed in hypo and final wash of 30 minutes

Magnifique!

[Peter de Graaff]

Really stunning work.

[Peter de Graaff]

Sorry about reel that failed. I have had that experience too

[Ingrid Budge]

@peterdegraaff Thanks Peter! It was that sinking feeling AND I had to clean the kitchen first - grrrr. It's the down but doesn't happen often , must get better organised :)

[George]

You speak a different language but I love it. This picture is another great Ingrid

[Ingrid Budge]

@gwhit123 Thanks George! Haha I was just commenting on your shot :)

[Sheila G]

Technically this sounds so challenging, but the result is stunning. Great window too!

[Jan Penny]

The process sounds interesting, and I really like the result.

[cheryl]

Fab textures & tones. Border workers really well

[Lisa Stein]

Such a labor intensive process. I had no idea what is involved to create such an image. It's another great shot, Ingrid!

[Jackie greenfield]

It's totally over my head but sounds great & looks great. Fav x

[Lisa]

Worth all the hard work Ingrid - looks wonderful! : )

[Carla]

such a lovely and fascinating result! Thanks so much for sharing your process. Fave.

[☠northy]

this is impressive! i can't begin to actually understand what you did tho' (after the "image taken with an iphone" of course ;p)

too bad about the roll of film... that would make me crazy!

[Wendy]

Wonderful -- and such an interesting process!

[Andreas]

Marvelous tones

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

So let me get this right. You took a digital photograph, printed it as a negative, processed the negative, and then scanned or otherwise got the results back into the computer to upload? And peope say I spend too much time with my camera! I'd love to see the original, untouched image as well.

Love the feel of this.

[Helen]

This is fabulous - well worth the time and effort!

[Kate Goring]

Incredible tones that create a wonderful feel to this shot. Well done and worth all the effort.

[Deni]

Very impressive, I must say half the processing you do goes over my head but the results are wonderful. fav.

[Gloria]

Good lord, I need a nap after just READING what you did to get this image. But oh, the image, holy cow

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Lovely shot. Loads of "feeling" built into it.

[Ingrid Budge]

@pfassett - another inkjet neg, lost a lot of detail in the highlights here

[Paul William Fassett]

@ingrid2101 I'm gonna have to look up van dyke because I don't know what it is. These look really good though. Bronze colored, and remind me a bit of tintype.
