This is really lovel,y kanishka. Would you share your developer type and time on the HR-U? I just started shooting HR-U and would love to get this clarity and tone.

Thanks for reviving this thread, FishyFishArcade. Your work and Don's here are outstanding!
Thank you for sharing these images. My grandmother's family was from the Azores -- Sao Jorge I think. I'm particularly drawn to the light in the last image of the lava stones. It highlights how...
The tones in this tintype are lovely. Great composition, too. Nice work!
Here are a few interior industrial photos I shot a few years ago at a factory that makes pressure vessels for the oil and gas industry. The company is more than 100 years old and used to make fire...
Thanks! This one belonged to my grandpa, who left it to me when he passed last year. I've done some work to make it more reliable, and now I'm driving it quite a bit.
Yes, I pour my plates with the waiter tray method. Same for development.
Here's my first attempt at wet plate collodion landscape photography. I'm somewhat limited on subject matter since I live in Oklahoma City (flat). This was taken on Mt. Scott, near Lawton, OK, about...
Thanks, I'll check out his site and get in touch. Surprised to find out there are folks doing wet plate in Oklahoma that I don't know, it's a small community. I've gotten a lot of advice, inspiration...
Here's two 6x9 wet plate collodion images I made this weekend of Overholser Mansion, formerly home to one of Oklahoma City's wealthy early residents. It was built in 1903 (one of the oldest surviving...
Here are two wet plate collodion tintypes of my 1930 Model A Ford. I'm still learning -- every plate means different challenges and rewards. Hopefully I'll find a better way to post these soon --...
After a long break, I'm back to practicing wet plate. Here is one I shot last weekend. Still learning with every plate, constructive criticism and pointers always welcome.

Self portrait. Wollensak 135mm 4.7
Those old Kodachrome images are so stunning, especially after all these years. I wish took the opportunity to shoot some before K-14 processing ended.
This a great series, Richard. I'm looking forward to seeing more of the project. You can get a real sense of the subjects' personalities in your images. Thanks for shining a light on the transgender...
Michael, those are wonderful! Especially the tonality in the teacup image.
Great image, Alex. Will look forward to seeing the rest of the series. You're very brave to shoot plates under such extreme conditions!
My friend Mary just graduated from medical school, and starts her pediatrics residency next month. She was fascinated with the wet plate process, we shot several serious and funny photos, this was my...
First outdoor wet plate. Bostick & Sullivan kit, 5x7 plate. A 6 second exposure wtih Leitz 400mm projection lens at f/4. Kodak Century 7a.

Here's my first plate. (Actually, the 5th one I produced last night, but the other ones got screwed up due to an issue with my plate holder.)
I used the Bostick and Sullivan kit with a bank of 4'...
I wonder if there was a little developer that splashed onto the film guide. That would maybe explain some of the chemical stains? Or if maybe some of the channels got two sheets of film (that then...
What development method did you use? If tray, it may have been that the first image received uneven action from the developer, especially if you did a stand/lengthy development. It may also have...
Louis -- thanks for the tip. I have some of those felt pads somewhere, I'll give that a try. And Jim, glad I could save you a bit of leg work tracking these down.
OK, I think I've found the caster socket (the cap on the end of the caster's stem). It's 9/16" outside diameter, and just about 1-1/2" long (or, at least it says it accepts connectors up to 1-7/16"...
Thanks, Jonathan! That's what i was looking for. Just gotta find out where to get those caps.
I sent a message to Eddie several days ago, but didn't hear back -- the last "for sale" post he had...
True. I don't have a caliper, although one would be useful for lots of purposes. I may just break down and buy one. The original wheel has a weird taper and a ball toward the top that I haven't seen...
^^Right, I know McMaster exists, but looking for the specific wheel to order. They have dozens of options.
Does anybody happen to have a good part number for modern replacement casters for the Semi-Centennial stands? Mine's a 2A, but I'm sure the 1A has the same wheel.
I tried Lowe's, but the shank...

I was shooting way over my head with the Busch Pressman, and due to some glare, I couldn't see that part of the fence was still in the image. After the tintype dried, I decided the little...
Thanks for the post, John! The factory looming over a normal neighborhood is definitely my favorite. The roof peaks echo the round vents on the factory. Is the car repair area in NYC? I've seen...
Very cool image, and awesome historic paper. I bet the print looks really interesting in person with the canvas texture. I noticed the image last night on your Instagram account, glad to see it a...

Nothing says "Oklahoma" quite like an old pump jack. This one is next door to two houses, right in the middle of Oklahoma City.

Jonathan, you either have the most photogenic house on Earth, or you're one of the most creative folks on here. My money's on the latter! I always enjoy your "around the house" shots.
Gary -- Such wonderful natural light in these places. I've really enjoyed your work on Instagram, it's great to see it larger on the computer screen!
Terry -- I hope you are able to shoot at the...
Thanks guys! I've used a similar epoxy wood filler around my house, it's definitely strong. It might just be overkill for this particular job. I've got tape inbound, when it gets here, that might...
Steven, do you happen to have a container of the mastic you use? I'm sure we won't have the same brand here, but I'd like to make sure I get the right thing. Most mastics I've seen here are adhesives...
The holders did have black paper or tape on parts of them, most of which was removed before I got it. I ordered some cloth bookbinding tape today that should work to repair the flexible sections. I...
Here are some crude photos of one of the holders, pretty representative of the whole batch.

I picked up a cool old Midland 10x12 camera from a local photographer this week (who happens to be a forum member as well). The camera came with 5 double-sided plate holders (presumably dry plate,...

Here's a 4x5 Rockland tintype I made a few weeks ago.
