    Re: Show off your Large Format camera!

    I do! It is a fun camera, but the ground glass is a little dim. I choose to mount my Chamonix 11x14 to the stand more often these days.

    Thanks Neil! I had a tripod mount added so I can also use the stand with my Chamonix 11x14.

    Re: Wet Plate Collodion questions answered here.

    I just carry a rack that fits in a tank of water and fix on site so I know I exposed the plate correctly.
  6. Re: Wet plate collodion wave-like effect on the plate

    Is your developer pouring on smoothly? How long are your development times? It looks to me like uneven development due to the heat making the developer too active and development times too short.

    Interesting. I definitely need something like that. Is that on a Chamonix 11x14 or another camera?

    Re: Portraits from 2023

    Depends on a few things. Do you have a sturdy tripod? Is it windy? Portrait shooting beyond 1 sec is difficult for the subject to remain still without sitting or the use of a brace.

    Re: Wet Plate Collodion questions answered here.

    The dark marks are most likely from not washing the plate long enough after fixing. What fixer are you using? Rapid fix needs a longer and more thorough rinse than KCN.

    For 4x5 portraits in that focal range, I use a 240mm Technika Heliar. I used to use a 240mm Rodenstock Sironar which was also excellent.

    Re: Show off your Large Format camera!

    Yes. I am using the Chamonix lens support. The brass Cooke is around 10lbs and too heavy to safely use on the Chamonix without it.
    That is your camera…. I bought it from you in 2018.
