The Viewfinder is the Soul of the Camera
If you don't believe it, look into an 8x10 viewfinder!

I think we'll be seeing a lot more photos made on Jason Lane's dry plates in the years ahead, so I'm starting a sharing thread specifically for J. Lane Dry Plates here.
Still Life: Nepenthes Briggsiana, shot on 4x5 dry plate, Intrepid camera + Kodak Anastigmat lens from the 1930s (I think)
Paul - the mods may want to merge as there is a thread for dry plates already...we shall see.
Love the image - why no edge artifacts (pealing and crinkling)? Yours is very smooth.

Ya know, I was sure there was a thread like this, but I swear I couldn’t find it this morning. Ugh. Mods, please merge this with the existing thread if you can, thanks.
There are edge artifacts present in this image, but they’re subtle. The fact that I vignetted the image some helps obscure them.
Glass prep and a subbing layer (I found it helpful to minimize those artifacts for folks new to processing dry plate).

gosh dangit I need to finish my darkroom.
Heh, freight company called to deliver my vent hood. Now I just need cabinets, counters and a door!
No problem, done!
Shot last weekend - J. Lane 4X5 dry plate, Graflex Series D w/Reinhold Schable's 190mm Wollaston meniscus @ f/9.
I think when I modified the film pack adapter to take glass plates, I didn't get the plate registered at the correct distance for focus.
Need to re-measure.
Mushroom was about 9" tall

Nice, Randy! That’s a big mushroom.
Rocks and plants and bricks. Testing new batch of emulsion.
