Something im rather proud of!
This is a digital negative, wet chemical print cyanotype.
Took an old photo (found wayyyy back in my gallery) of a leopard, and converted it to a 7 inch by 10.5 inch digital negative. Printed the negative on an acetate sheet.
Mixed up some Potassium Ferricyanide and Ammonium Sulfate, and coated some heavy grade watercolor paper in the deliciously toxic solution. Placed all this into a glass negative holder, and exposed it under direct UV radiation (think tanning bed light bulbs) for 5 minute 15 seconds.
rinsed the print in water, then soaked it for 10 seconds in hydrogen peroxide solution before drying it - and you have this! a very awesome 7"x10.5" cyanotype of a leopard :D
UPDATE
New processing method. Updated, and holy crap better version, on the bottom. Original on top.
