I think I've found a new addiction so please bear with me. Another Lumen print - this time a dandelion. Came home from work at lunchtime stuck this glass and took it in now - so simple. If you want to try this all you need is a board, piece of heavy glass ( I have 6 mm) some photographic paper ( this is resin coated, wasn't sure it was going to work) and some b&w fixer. Oh and a plant as well and some rays!! Leave it as long as you want - this had about 4 hours
@aprilmilani Oh April you made my day there. Totally simple for you. Take a sheet of b&w photographic paper ( in darkness, but only so you don't ruin the rest of the pack!). Then everything can be done in daylight - place the paper on a board, place a flower or leaf ( think it has to be organic matter) on top of the paper and cover with the glass, which really helps flatten it. This is outside in bright sun, go off and take photos, chill with the kids and come back a few hours later. I have scanned this before fixing then I fix it for about 4 minutes. So easy and great fun to do with kids as well - chemistry and art lesson covered for a day or two ;)
Can't imagine why the exif data might be missing :-P
