    The jury is definately out on the border question Nathan. There really is no consensous.

     

    These are 4X5 contacts on 5X7, roughly, paper and scanned full frame. Larger images 8X10 and 7X17 for instance have less border and it seems more to scale.

     

    I haven't decided myself. Thanks for the feed back, it is appreciated.

    Neli, the process is a Cyanotype. Mike Wares formula from Photo Formulary.

     

    The emulsion is hand coated on water color paper. I use a glass rod to spread the fluid and a brush to even it out resulting in the brush stroke edges. Some trim the image and loose the brush strokes. I like it both ways, with my preferance being to the ragged edge look.

     

    The image is contact printed under an Ultra Violet light source. It is then developed in plain water and hung to dry. If you want more information try the photoformulary.com or APUG.org.
