Old Red Mill -cyanotype

My third (successful) cyanotype. I had three out of four pieces of my 8.5" x 11" watercolor pad paper come out. This one I used a negative from an orthochromatic shot I took in my 4x5 field camera. I exposed the print in bright sunlight for 20 mins outdoors under a piece of plain glass. Developed/fixed/rinsed in plain water for five mins

    @roaringtree Thanks! It helps to have thick negatives. I have some smooth Bristol paper I might try next....
