Recently breathed new life into an already impressive (to me, anyway) image that I took during the summer at a local classic car gathering. That evening, I found a very beautiful renovated 1967 Ford Mustang, with honeycomb patterned louvres behind the windows. I got in close with my Nikon F4 and 50mm f/1.2 AI-s and focused in on one of the sections of the louvre. Only that one section was in focus, everything else neatly blurred out (lens was wide open). Got home, processed the film in D76 in my bathroom, and let the film sit around a few months. I recently picked up that particular page of negatives, and made a scan of it. In my Alternative Processes class at college, we work with digital negatives and cyanotype processes, so I thought it would be the perfect image to print. I took it into photoshop and printed it at roughly 6cm by 9cm proportions, and exposed for about 12 minutes (i think) in our UV lightbox at school, on some nice heavyweight watercolor painting paper that I coated with the cyanotype chemicals.
