    Re: Collodion - Wet Plate Images

    I shot this one on Saturday. It is my “successful” plate shot in the studio. 5x7 shot with a Scientific 113/4 in. F4 lens. I really wanted to see if I could use my Photogenic strobes so I set them up about two feet away and this was shot at f32.

    Today I received a new lens in the post: a Darlot Wide Angle Hemispherical No. 4 for 8X10 work. (Thanks, Pete!) Dated approximately 1860s, it actually covers 10X12 inch formats, so on 8x10 I get plenty of room for movements, if needed.
    This is the first test plate with the Darlot #4: an 8x10 inch glass negative using Coffer's #7 collodion for negatives. Exposure was 90 seconds using the Darlot's first stop. (Estimated to be f16)
    The negative was intensified with Copper bleach + AgNO3 redevelopment.

    Thanks Randy! You'd almost think so, wouldn't you?! LOL You can view the larger version of this here. Its worth a look, I think.
    You better believe I'm keeping that Darlot Hemispherical - its got just the right kind of optical flaws I want in a wet plate lens.

    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.
