A selfportirait done wit the new camera, Bomm 45II. Me and Paolo, yesterday, Rollei 400 film souped in HC 1+63. Sironar 180 lens at f5.6 1/15, fluorescent light.
Lars in the “tool shed” greenhouse. 8x10 Collodion on aluminum (tintype) shot with a magic lantern lens mounted (in cardboard!) on the Deardorff.
Thank you Bob.
When I first did a workshop to learn wet plate, I imagined I would work ostensibly with tintype, not negs on glass. However, I am finding I am much more drawn to making glass negatives as I gain more experience with the process. Like you, I feel that having a glass negative as the output allows me much greater flexibility in terms of how I can use the plate. I expect that over time, I will be making far more glass negatives than anything; reproducibility is definitely important to me, and the less I have to rely on digital tools for creating final output, the better. (for me)
