Ditch the DSLR? The 200-year-old science of my new favorite camera (2^14 sub special!)

When I grew up, my mom was big on encouraging me to play with science toys.

She signed me up for enrichment classes at the University of Louisville in the summer, took me to museums, and bought me every sciencey toy that I showed any interest in. Relevant to today's video, I specifically remember making SunPrints with this same cyanotype process that AlphaPooenix demonstrates in today's video.

It wouldn't necessarily be easy for you and me to get ahold of the chemicals that he uses here - and likely not safe either - but you can certainly buy SunPrints paper without much trouble. Give it a try.
