Hello thank you, very glad it was helpful. I know this whenever I do alternative process posts on my Instagram as well they're usually much better received than my photography posts

R.I.P Aloy. You'll be greatly missed. Thank you for all the great content you provided us with over the years. I'm so greatful for all the camera tips and lens advice you were always happy to give me. Sending love and condolences to your family, here from the UK🙏🏽😇.

Hello and thanks for taking time to check this out I know the video was pretty long. I was until after I finish editing that I realized I didn't show exactly how I soak and ring out the fabric but it's just a matter of soaking it and ringing it out really well before drying. Let me know how it goes if you try

I hear some people use diluted vinegar with soap bubbles and splash it on the paper as well while it is sunning for different abstract effects

so glad you mentioned the importance of writing down your exposure technique in case you want to change something. i’m practicing film photography rn & i should start writing down the exposure & shutter speed i use for each shot. excited to c how this roll o film develops but i won’t remember what i did & why they came out how they did. now ik 4 the next one!! thank you ^o^

These turned out great!
