    Re: A thread for images made with dry plates

    Well, I am about ready to give up. My last 4X5 I shot, the emulsion pretty much floated off, even with almost no agitation - but perhaps this is because it is from a very early batch.
    I just shot two 5X7's and processed - while the emulsion was very stable and remained intact, I have some weird swirly artifact floating up out of my subject on the right, looking almost like smoke, which becomes quite distracting. I was hoping it was some emulsion that got onto the back of the glass and I could clean it off, but it is on the emulsion side.
    It is just hard for me to get a consistent usable image...and I really don't care for the notch in the glass.
    I had high hopes

    Spearfish Falls, SD


    This nice little fall was dry for nearly fifty years when a gold mining operation took all the water. The mine shut down and the waterfall is back! It was a popular subject in the early 1900s. Chamonix 045n, c.1920 Dagor 4 in. in Compur dial, dry plate. ISO 1, 2s, f11.

    There is a opening in the canopy of these oaks and at the right time of day and the right time of year it makes this nice pocket of light. I think I need a model with pixie wings and a white flowing dress to complete the scene. That’s what I’m seeing. Thoughts, comments?

    Took a trip to the panhandle of Texas and shot this on a J. Lane 5x7 dry plate. Ghost town, Whiteflat, Texas school building, long abandoned.

    I hate to be a curmudgeon, but wonder why so many images have frilled edges,or emulsion floating off the glass. As I began with the plates, both ASA 2 and 25,I had some exposure problems, but no frilling, etc. All I have done is follow the directions on the box carefully and maintained close temperature control.
