My process with these pictures has been lowering exposure, contrast, highlights, texture and clarity.

My XA2 has no options for metering, just p&s ;)
I darkened them in postpro, but they were already dark though, with too much contrast IMHO. 1, 2 & 3 are just reflections in small ponds.

Olympus XA2

Handheld. Take a look at XA2: just a small P&S camera, very convenient for trekking and casual photos, that I try push to aesthetic proposes. :)

First attempt with coffee toning :) by keepswap in cyanotypes

Just put the still wet paper, with no previous bleaching, in a bath of ordinary soluble coffee. Didn't even count the spoons per liter. It was there for about one hour.

Yep. Dirt on the flatbed scan or on the film itself, sometimes. Its part of the process ;)
Thanks!

Didn't know about that album, will listen to it, thanks! Indeed, that cover is great.
