I decided to reuse the plants for an #altpro #lumenprint and I’m pretty excited about these pre-fixed, fugitive colors. Didn’t do too many lumens this year but I’m teaching them in my #Handmade Photos class, so I’m inspired to have more examples for students!

How does exposure time affect a lumen print?
I created four lumen prints using the same paper, and exposed for up to 2 months (!) and the contrast INCREASED!
Which do you prefer?

The Struggle
The same lumen print as yesterday but with additional layers added today. Even after exposing the Kodak paper & leaving it out overnight, there is still some room for further development.

I've been reorganising my home office & finally got to connecting my scanner to my laptop. I found an old lumen print made with Kodak paper so used it as a test. I view these images as a license to play. Once scanned, this was then processed in PS & LR.

Got a spring-feeling and caught the last of the snowdrops before they wiltered in a lumen print. May the sun shine!

Meine neue Sylvestertradition: "Lichtgießen" statt Bleigießen:
Dieses Jahr habe ich ein Lichtorakel erfunden, eine Mischung aus Lumenprint und Chemigram, mit den perfekten mystischen Elementen für ein Jahresend-Ritual: Zaubertinkturen, magische Kräuter und Licht.
