    Post your World Wetplate Day 2012 plates

    Looking at the collodion.com forum, I see there are a lot of people around the world already posting their wetplates they shot today. Great! If we all post them in one thread, it will be a lot of fun to review them as people add theirs. My wetplate session was just over, and I was going through my gate to grab the Century camera, when I noticed this visitor. Yes, it's a rattlesnake. My plates coming as soon as they dry.

    Re: Post your World Wetplate Day 2012 plates

    Here's my world wet plate day plates. 8x10 Alumitype, OWH collodion, TF-3 rapid fix and selectively buffed. 4min 50s @f32 for the first plate and 4min 15s @f32 for the second plate. Both taken with a modern lens. Used two banks of 16 cfl bulbs each.

    For those who are interested: Yes, I know how to use this oscilloscope, use it for my electronic projects. Contains 30 vacuum tubes, no transistors. Made in late 50's-early 60's and weighs a ton. Fully functional and works great!

    My first wet plate image just in time to join in on World Wet Plate Day. Clear glass ambrotype using B&S kit. Long way to go with technique and quality, but awesome to see the image develop and be reasonably successful.

    I said, "It's World Wet Plate Day!"

    She said, "Yay! I wanna do some wet plates!"

    I said, "Okay, they're in the sink!"

    She said, well, something very unladylike...

    I didn't think pixies knew such language...
