Well I'm sure we are all thoroughly fed up with it by now so I thought I would start a thread for people to share their thoughts, photos, ideas or anything else they want to inflict upon us
So, have you done something different, something you would probably not have tried if it wasn't for this pesky virus? A different technique or style, perhaps you've tried some macro shots or like me had a go at cyanotypes? If you have pop 'em in here so we can all have a laugh.... oh, sorry, I mean praise them and admire the skills involved in making them.
I'll go first. Following on from a thread from @ChrisR about cyanotypes I thought I'd have a go. I'll pop the rest of my results in Chris's thread but heres the best attempt so far.

The actual paper copy is much better, lots more detail. I'm actually quite impressed and I'll have another go tomorrow.
I also had some direct positive paper (donated by @StephenM , thank you) so I tried a few shots with this in my Chroma large format camera. It is very difficult to get a good exposure but as I had no instructions and was mainly guessing I'm not too unhappy. More paper on the way for further testing.

And finally I broke out the old Fuji Instax, quite out of date film but still useable.

With all of these the scanning and Flickr have reduced the quality and overall I'm pretty happy with the results.
So, over to you lot then.
