A New Lumen Print
Finally, today the sun was more present allowing me to utilise the backyard for a bit of lumen printing.
After exposing the ILFORD Galerie Gr. 03 photo paper inside my new contact printer for about 90 minutes, I pulled the paper out and as I began to study the image, was really impressed with the outline around the dried daffodils - almost like an aura.
I don't think leaf skeletons work particularly well in this format but will try them with cyanotype printing to see if I can pull out the line detail a bit more.
In Photoshop Elements, I tweaked the contrast and cleaned up a few blemishes.
