Doing these color gel portraits were pretty cool they were a little hard to work with but other than that it was pretty neat. To be honest i think the only colors that really work really well would be the blue, pink, red, green and purple. The yellow, light pink and light blue didn't really do much of a color to it which kind of sucked but maybe it was too bright or we needed to use two of them to have it really make an effect.

The cyanotype process, also known as the blueprint process, was first introduced by John Herschel in 1842. The cyanotype is made up of two simple solutions which are Solution A: 25 grams Ferric ammonium citrate (green) and 100 ml. water. Solution B: 10 grams Potassium ferricyanide and 100 ml. the cyanotype was mainly used for blueprints and people used them to produce low quality images or drawings. The steps I used to create the negative was i went into photoshop and I first changed it to black and white and i adjusted the brightness and contrast. From there I inverted and then printed it out. To create the actual cyanotype i spread the solution onto the paper and i made sure it was dry enough. After that I put my negative face up and i out the glass on top. I let it sit outside for quite a while. After that i put it in the water to wash out the yellow and after that I put it in the peroxide for a minute or so and then I let it dry.
Knolling Photography is when you have things that are alike or related to each other or even the same color and you arrange them in a unique way and take a picture from bird's eyes view. I did like this type of photography but i did find it kind of hard because not all the things that I had were the same color or I had to arrange them in a weird way and like it was kind eh. I kinda wish that we had more things that were the same color or if we had better backgrounds then for me at least it would've been easier .
