Well, here are two prints I made today. I am happy with the results, although I printed them a bit dark to keep some highlights in the clothing. Such is the problem with light colors - namely white and blue. I hate weak highlights, so it was the lesser of two evils for me.
Both with the Harrison lens, both whole plates. The first is an albumen print. She wsn't happy with her stern face; "I look like a school teacher!" I sat for the cyanotype.

Scratched the emulsion a bit on the cyano - my shroud fell into the washout tray as I was exiting the darkbox. What to do? Gotta just learn from our mistakes, right?
