CYANOTYPE
The first picture is a picture I took with my camera phone in the Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado. I then put this picture into photoshop and increased the contrast, inverted the color, and edited distracting elements out of the picture. Next, I printed the inverted picture onto a piece of transparent paper. This was tricky because the printer would get jammed if it got too hot. I took a mixture of ferric ammonium citrate (green purified), potassium ferricyanide, and water and spread the chemicals on watercolor paper. The watercolor paper prevents the paper from curling as it dries with the chemicals. After the chemicals dried, I used the transparent paper with my print of my inverted picture on it and let it sit in the sun for 15 minutes in an easel. When the 15 minutes were up, I washed the chemicals off with water from the sink and my picture appeared.
Pinhole Camera
I created a pinhole camera by taking a light-tight box (in my case I used an iPhone box) and painting it black. I cut out a small hole in the front and I took a needle and poked a small hole in a piece of tinfoil. I made sure to only poke a small hole in the tinfoil (don't poke the needle all the way though). I covered the hole in the box with tinfoil (shiny-side up) and taped it. I used a piece of cardboard as the flap to cover the pinhole and I taped one side next to the pinhole. I cut a piece of photo paper in the darkroom to the size of my box and taped it to the back of the box, making sure the emulsion side is facing upward. I closed the box and went outside and had my subject pose for 10 seconds. I covered the hole and developed the photo paper in the dark room. Lastly, I converted the negative to a positive in photoshop.
Here is my progress/ experimentation
