Skull Jar #2
Wet Plate Collodion on aluminum (tintype)
8X10 plate shot with the Deardorff and 12" Kodak Ektar lens at f16. Exposure was 45 seconds, using Old Workhorse collodion and home-made developer.
Another keeper, Paul. Really like the shadows on the wall.
Paul, that's gorgeous! Is that a photograph or a scan of the tintype?
Here's another one from me; I'm starting to learn. It really helps that I finally got my hands on some HNO3.
Scan from glass transparency; it's going to be an ambrotype later on. Image size ca. 11x9cm.

Wet Plate Collodion image on glass (as negative).
Old Workhorse collodion used, with B&S developer diluted for negative processing. I'm not thrilled with the overall density and contrast (and the uneven development marks), so I need to practice making negatives more. Next time, I made John Coffer's negative collodion and corresponding developer.
Paul, the flaws you point out don't bother me at all. Had you not mentioned them, I wouldn't have noticed and just taken them as part of the image. I like it very much either way; what size is this?
Here's one of mine, from yesterday. I was also intending to make a negative and this was the first test shot to determine exposure. Came out underexposed, so I overdeveloped it, but I quite liked it as it was, so I varnished it and painted the backside black. Ca. 3.5x4.5", 2 minutes @ f/11.
Another nice one. Keep posting them!
