A small portfolio, edition of three, 2 toned cyanotype and one vdb prints. Pictures taken with a Volna-3 flexible mounted on Nikon D2x camera. Digital negatives printed on Fabriano Elle Erre 220gsm.

I hope you like them. Here's the brown ones:

g'day piticu

this is a beautiful series of images

great subject selection presented with lovely tonality

what size are the digital negs?
how did you print the negs?
what is a "Volna-3 flexible"?

13x20cm
this series is Van Dyke brown, classic formula, printed on Fabriano Elle Erre 220gsm.
volna-3 is a russian lens (85mm 1:2.8) for pentacon six with diaphragm stripped, attached to a rubber car's suspension boot (i think this is the correct term) glued to nikon camera cap. it allows me a great deal of movement, especially tilt - around 35 degrees, shift around 1cm in all directions. hope it helped.
thank you for your visit and nice words, ray

Great series Piticu. Technically, you still need more exposure. (I can trace the negative in the borders, normally you don't have this with properly exposed prints...)
I liked much the idea of flexible adapter. Kinda custom-made lensbaby. (Probably much better in terms of picture quality...) Try single element magnifying glass lenses too; you may like the chromatic aberration effect.
Great work, congrats again. Keep them coming...

I know I know, i just wanted to use the same negatives for cyanotype and van dykes too and i was trying to compensate the differences.

I BET on this!

I did: i have three monocles, one home made and two commercially products: a Sima 100mm f2.8 and a Portragon 100mm f4. I love all of them. Right now i'm looking for a petzval lens, i'm dying to try one :)
