Summer Heat - Coffee / Cyanotype

[Rob MacKillop]

I'm late to this party, but I'd like to say I love all those images, Pete, each for different reasons. Oh, I wish I could have such control over an image. Beautiful photography.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Rob, much appreciated. I had to do some more shots using the DIY camera over the next few weeks but it is difficult to focus at the moment and I need to go back to the specialist on the 30th and so will be heading back to the UK earlier than I planned. Any July will be hot maybe it'll be a few more like these instead!!

 

[Lesley Jones]

The first was one you showed me the other day and I love it. Actually, that's not a good enough word. The set is superb, the tones are wonderful. I just don't have the vocabulary to praise them

 

[Pete Sykes]

Man-Askew-Ray-esque ............ Great shots, subtle and soft.

[Douglas McMann]

A great set Pete...

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, Dougie.

Can I assume this Cooke lens works on the same principle as the old Canon 135 Soft Focus...?

 

[Pete Askew]

I don't think it quite the same as the diffusion is only controlled by the aperture and I guess the degree is dependent on dispersion. The Cooke lens was designed in the late 19th century and has been updated with modern coating etc.

I am also a latecomer and can only second what Lesley says here and make her words mine. I hope she'll grant me that.

Thank you, Ivar.
