double exposed
4x5 tintype
Testing a new collodion for making glass negatives: This is UVP-X from UV Photographics, on glass, with no subbing or Amino silane. This collodion is much faster than Old Workhorse, which is what I started learning on, but it doesn't stick to the edges of the glass plate as well, it seems. I also flubbed the focus, but I was rushing because the late afternoon light was failing fast. Its just a test, after all ;-)
Three minutes exposure at f8 using my Schneider Symmar-S 240 on the Deardorff.
Irony.
8X10 collodion on aluminum.
First wet plate images.
This collodion wet plate thread seems to generate very little interest in anyone other than the practitioners. I wonder, why is that?
Yesterday's piece, 7.5 X 9.25" collodion on aluminum plate:
I've never done collodion, but I love looking at the work on this thread. The whole process intrigues me
It's a good question. For myself, the *process* interests me but I don't like to see the process made obvious, as in the often-seen frilly bits around the edge, or swathes and swabs and smears of chemistry over the image. I appreciate that for some this is part of the delight in the process, but (sadly) it doesn't do it for me.
Nonetheless, I do appreciate seeing many of the images in this thread; both as artistic whole and as an exploration of the technology. But having no experience in the field, I don't consider myself really qualified to judge or comment on them.
Thanks for posting them, though

Same here, looking at the photos peeks my interest in them and the process, I have however still do much to learn in the use of lf gear and only do much time.

I have never used wet plates, but I keep a watch on this thread. The results are fascinating!
Best,
