The great experiment, part 2

The experiment continues. With the exception of a light leak in my reducing back, I’m fairly satisfied with how it’s going.

I got my first sheets of color 4×5 film processed and spent some time today scanning it and digitally layering the images on top of the 8×10 scans. I tried to match the color of the 8×10 images with that of the cyanotype collages to see what a color image would look like on top of them. I made one image with the full frame shape of the 4×5 and one without; I’m leaning toward keeping the full frame, as I think it helps show that the images are in fact made from different negatives.

Here are a few of the results of my explorations this afternoon. They’re nowhere near resolved, but I think I’m on the right track. As always, comments/questions/suggestions are very welcome.
