Channeling Timothy O'Sullivan today, it seems.
Its funny how some days the Wet Plate chemistry behaves flawlessly (the previous two forest negatives, for example) and some days its a dog's breakfast. This plate is very much the latter! (But I like its heavy-handed artifacts)
This is my first wet plate negative shot in the Marys River - the south beach view from the grass island. Today was the first opportunity to actually get to this location, as the river was finally low enough to access the spot. I hope to do many more of these river shots. Finally, I feel like I have at my disposal a medium that truly renders these views as I see them in my mind's eye.
5X7 collodion on glass, old Seneca view camera with 1920s 5.5" Kodak f4.5 Anastigmat. 2 minutes exposure at f16. Lots of tripod shake because the legs vibrated with the river flow.
Very nice, Paul. I've been experimenting with tray development for wet plate the way you described the other day. I think I like it, and I recognize the flow patterns you got along the top edge of this plate. They don't bother me much. I don't filter the developer and it seems that this doesn't make much of a difference. I do have the impression that I need a bit more exposure with this development method than with the waiter tray method, but the tonality seems nicer and development is still more even using trays. Thanks for putting me on this track!

Nice work lately Peter!
Thanks, Bryan. I have had some time over the last few days to do some scanning. Most of this work is pretty old.Quote:
