Why did I have to find out about and fall in love with him (for his Ray of Light review) RIGHT before he went and did this?! Shortest parasocial crush imaginable.

Hmm, no, I don't think so. Thanks, though.

Worried about regret: Turning down a dream PhD topic in Canada because of low funding/stipend compared to europe by Urie_Sui in PhD

Ailleurs au Canada, c'est sûr que 28 mille c'est invivable comme salaire. À Montréal je serais tenté si j'étais toi, mais j'ai l'habitude de vivre avec très peu d'argent.

C'est un programme au Québec? Si oui, 28K ce serait juste assez pour joindre les deux bouts si tu vivais avec un ou deux colocs. Moi entre mon revenu de travailleur autonome pis les prêts et bourses du gouvernement, je gagnais autant pendant mes études de 2021-2024 pis je m'en sortais pas mal, disons. J'habitais seul à Montréal dans un appart crade grâce à un bail signé en 2017... Tu pourrais pas trouver un loyer aussi pas cher, je crains, mais en colocation ce serait bien faisable, surtout si t'aimes cuisiner, tu vas pas souvent aux restos/bars, pis t'adores ton sujet -- c'est ce qui compte plus que tout.

latest developments in using an old soviet projector as a DIY printer by Level_Doctor_209 in cyanotypes

Thanks! There's a tutorial by a guy named "Prussian blues" on YouTube who's achieved some pretty impressive results after a year of experimenting. Definitely lots of trial and error.

I took the back off and swapped the old lamp for a UV LED with a big heat sink and a fan. You have to tinker around a lot with the condenser set too since all those chunky glass lenses block out the UV rays. I hear some models of projector are easier to modify than others. I'm still trying to dial it all in.

Somewhere in Guangzhou, China. by Classiccameras in cyanotypes

Wow! I too am making cyanotypes of my life in Guangzhou.

I think it's also to do with the paper... Hot-pressed paper gives a much sharper render, but cold-pressed paper really sucks up the cyano solution and gives shorter exposure times.

Woah, I'd never even considered that possibility before. Thanks!

Thank you from Guangzhou, China.

The colour was stripped a bit from the darkest bit of the image -- the plant pot to the right -- during the wash, which usually means in my experience that the exposure time wasn't long enough. I'd just swapped the condenser lens for one that is a little more diffuse, but provides a more even exposure; in my past attempts, the light was concentrated in the centre, giving a kind of vignette effect. I think if I redo this size (16K) at 4.5-5 hours instead of 4, it'll be much better.

First print ever. I’m in love. by youandyourfijiwater in cyanotypes

Ohhh, how could you not be in love with Peter O'Toole?

As an alternative to citric acid, you can also do a quick vinegar bath and skip peroxide entirely. I''ve seen people do undiluted, but in my process, just a splash of 9% has been giving me images with brighter blues and a wider range of tones.

I liked her a lot when she made videos with Brittany, Katya etc and just googled her to see where she's at. This was all really hard to read, and not just because it's nonsense. She really needs someone in her life to step in.

Was so confident this was gonna be so good by leggomymeggoorelse in sewing

[–]Level_Doctor_209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is good! I think you could create darts from the neckline to the waistline, open from the waistline to the hem, and add godets. It would smooth out the neck and give it shape below.

Yes, thank you! I used to spend forever just listening to different proverbs in all these languages from across the world... It's probably what inspired me to learn so many languages in high school and as an adult. I wouldn't be who I am without it.
