How to address this hint other than deposit some of my old cyanotypes into the compost bin, though that is not a bad idea as they are made from natural materials. Instead I spent the morning in the Forest of Dean with a couple of camera club friends and @thewackyphotographer, who was showing us how to achieve some very abstract images using multiple exposures and custom white balance settings in our cameras. I realised that the area we were in is currently being returned to its natural state with trees having been felled and replanted and ponds and streams being introduced to encourage wildlife. This photo maybe isn’t as wacky as it might be and the colours certainly don’t look natural, but I think it fills the brief.
This technique is all done in camera other that a few tweaks with contrast post processing. It consists of 3 photographs, each taken with a custom white balance set to the extreme of a different colour. Lots of practice still needed, but I had an enjoyable morning.
