Re: [pinhole-discussion] cyanotypes and panoramic
- Original Message - From: Edward Levinson e...@awa.or.jp I once hung one my abstract Cityscapes images upside at an exhibition and didn't notice it was upside down until a week after the opening! It looked okay either way (it was an image of escalators and ceiling lights inside a building) but I preferred it the proper way. You know those Japanese people, they are so polity they wouldn't tell you the image was upside down! JFL (just for laugh) Guillermo

George and Gord I once hung one my abstract Cityscapes images upside at an exhibition and didn't notice it was upside down until a week after the opening! It looked okay either way (it was an image of escalators and ceiling lights inside a building) but I preferred it the proper way. Ed A while back I took a picture from the turret of a Welsh castle and displayed it upside down - clouds on the bottom. It's amazing how many people looked and looked and looked at the picture, not understanding what they were seeing.

Gord - Abstracts should make one think, and taking something real and making an abstract from it is fun for the artist and the viewer.

It's amazing how many people looked and looked and looked at the picture, not understanding what they were seeing. The fact that they looked at it for so long told me that they were thinking. I feel that this gives the viewer a more pleasant experience than simply seeing what they've seen in the past.

[pinhole-discussion] cyanotypes and panoramic
Hi: I've finally fine tuned my use of CGP ortho film and LC-1 developer to get negs to make good cyanotype prints. I'm using CGP for large negatives. I use Dave Soemarko's LC-1 developer diluted 2.5 A : 3B : 5 water makes good negatives for my cyanotypes. I've been trying out different papers available here. These were printed on Stonehenge (sp?) using a classic cyanotype recipie. I also finished off a 6 hole circular panormic camera. It makes interesting and perhaps somewhat confusing 360 degree images See my web page http://cyano.usask.ca/pinhole/ There is a panoramic and regular cyanotype images. Gord - Gordon J.
