Really nice

The longest exposure I've made was something like 16 minutes outside. I didn't have any problems with drying which was a surprise. This was on a wet, mild day. I've done up to 8 minutes on a bright...

Thanks for the kind words Alan

my boss did actually give me a few pieces of black heart sassafras to play with but the profile was a little heavy for what I want. I could perhaps order some but it is expensive and hard to get...
Barry a huon pine camera would be absolutely amazing. I would pay money just to see that thing! I have a real deep personal love for huon pine as my grandmothers house was made and furnished with it...
thankyou, fellas. Having a lot of fun with wet plate lately. Experimenting with framing, I mocked up one floating in a huon pine box frame.. what do you think?...
