CyanotypeThe first cyanotype was intoduced by John Herschel in 1842. The chemicals used for a cyanotype are potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate (green) are mixed with water sperately. The two solutions are the blended together in equal parts. How I created my cyanotype: 1. I chose what items I was going to use (flowers, letters, and quotes). 2. I placed them on the piece of paper with the chemicals already on them. 3. I placed the paper and flowers under a fiberglass 4. I put the whole thing outside in the sun then wait 6 minutes. 5. Pick up the project, take it inside, and place the photo in the water with the mixed chemicals. 6. Take it out and let it dry, and now I'm done. DaguerreotypeThe inventor of the daguerrotype is Louis Daguerre and he discovered it in 1839. The process to create the photo is to start with a sliver-plated copper plate. That is buffed and polished until it looks like a mirror. Then the plate is sensitized to light over iodine and bromine in a specialized light-proof boxes. A daguerrotype is an old fashion photo on a sliver plated copper plate.
