Shot my first tintype today, 8 minute exposure:

Is this a collodion tintype or Rockaloid? Either way, it seems WAY overexposed.

the blue sky faded into the night
the darkness brought black clouds
and rain in buckets
just here, nowhere else

I agree exposure is way off, just getting the hang of this, but still happy I got something

It was a dry plate...I guess it's similar to the rockaloid? I'm using the rockland positive developer but with some liquid emulsion a friend gave me. I'm not sure which one it is though-it's just in a small black bottle. I guessed liquid light so I metered it at ISO 1.5...but that was obviously wrong. It could be AG plus-that's apparently a faster emulsion.

The photo was taken in the creek that runs behind my house, I shoot back there all of the time and exposures are generally long. For reference, I've shot that same location with my 4x5... F/45 on Efke 25 is about a 2 minute exposure. The tintype was at F/32 and the aforementioned 8 minutes.

I'm currently sick as a dog, but once I start feeling better I plan on taking the 8x10 back out to the creek with a few more plate holders. I'll probably meter at ISO6 this time-we'll see what happens!!

if it is regular old liquid light
it is about asa 5 or thereabouts.
if you have a blue filter, put it on your meter, it will
help you with your exposure.

have fun!
