Between shooting wet plates, I got the chance to sneak in a few Type 55 exposures...

Thanks Paul...will give you ideas a go next time...the light was a lowe tungstan thing I use for video work (im a freelance news cameraman) but I had it facing backwards bounring into a reflective umbrella to soften things up a good deal.
