Wet plate image sharing July 2020

Recently I had the honor to make this triptych of Jimmy Nelson. An amazing photographer who is traveling all over the world and making breathtaking work, mostly analog. His two books 'Before they pass away" and 'Homage to Humanity' are a must have!
Together with the help of Ferry van der Vliet we had a long and intense shoot but both Jimmy and me were extremely happy with the final result.
First two made with Dallmeyer 5d at f6
Last one with 350mm Hermagis at f 4.5
All about 4 secs exposure

Stunning, Mr. Timmermans. I particularly like that second one. Thankyou for drawing our attention to Jimmy Nelson and for the book recommendations, also. Both are very much appreciated.

.. And I see you've made these photographs in 2029! I, for one, am greatly relieved to know you're still making wonderful imagery nine years hence [emoji5]

Lockdown learning continues.

With this particular plate, both of my red (bicycle) LED's died at the same time in the darkroom, so this was developed in complete darkness! I'm really happy that I got any sort of image here, lesson learned - invest in a proper headlamp :D

Well done, Frosty!
Your contrast is much better than what I'm getting with my plates.

Lakeport, SD

I hauled my Kodak 2D 8x10 down to the former townsite of Lakeport last Sunday. I wanted to test my new lens--a c.1880s rapid rectilinear FL=22 inch. I used a 5x7 back to make 5x7 tin types, and it came out pretty clean! The church was built in 1884. The sign reads": "Katolicky Hrbitov" which is Czech for "Catholic Cemetery." 20 second exposure & f22.

Beautiful creation!!

I went out to the middle of South Dakota yesterday to meet up with Shane Balkowitsch, from Bismarck, ND. He had a project going where he was photo'ing the "Dignity" statue outside of Chamberlain, along with some local Lakota Sioux in full regalia. Shane does a lot of work with regional tribes shooting wet plate (ambrotypes.) He invited me out to assist. I managed to take a couple of photos myself when things were caught up. I was using my Kodak 2D 8x10 and brought four 19 C. lenses with focal lengths ranging from 9 inch to 22 in. Turned out the only one I used was the Darlot wide angle Hemispherique 9 in. I had just received it and a new lens board the day before so this was my first time using it. I like this lens! The lever stops are cool. This was a 22s exposure so I must have been at f22 or f32. (Haven't measured them yet.)
