First attempt at tintype, dry plates

[sheel]

Hello, I've mostly been a lurker here but wanted to share my first attempt at tintype photography, using the Rockloid kit.

I certainly ran into issues, like being impatient and not letting the first plate dry enough, accidentally laying wax paper on top of the plates too early in storage, etc.

Your results for a first run are good. My first try with this process I only got one partial image from 8 plates.

Thanks! Fun process, but not sure if I'm hooked. I want to try some outdoor stuff next.
