Cyanotype Reflection
1) What did you learn?
While creating a cyanotype, I discovered many new things. First off, I learned about Anna Atkins and followed her method when she created her personal cyanotype. Next, I learned that the sun is another way for someone to capture an image, as long as using additional supplies and objects.
2) Why did you choose the objects you did?
Nature is beautiful, and I wanted to be able to try and produce my own picture using nature itself. Every object has its own charm, and I believe that this is what brought my cyanotype together. The objects I chose also produced more detail and would create the illusion of the objects much better.
3) Did the objects appear on the cyanotype as you envisioned?
My objects did not appear on the cyanotype as I had anticipated, although, I am still quite satisfied with the result. The object that came out the greatest was the feather. This was because it had some clear areas within it, so you are able to observe the detail on the cyanotype itself.
4) What would you do differently if you did this again?
Although I am satisfied with the outcome, I wish I had used different objects. The ones I used were admirable, but it would've been better if I had been more imaginative with it.
