Mark a Osterman is doing a workshop on using wet-plate for microscopic photographs . Essentially microdots.

I use that to hold my EZ-pass on my windshield. Not sure if the gallery is going to let me put it on their walls, though! Although I could use it for a setup like Ghostcount’s above.
Thanks!...
I like the approach, and wish that I could have seen the show!
Cheers!

Hi All,
I know there are a number of people doing wet-plate collodion on the forum, and I hope you can help me get some ideas. I am going to exhibit some of my 8x10" tintypes (read here:...
Another vote for a "beater" 4x5. You don't say what type of photography you do, but there will be a learning curve, and you will develop preferences for what type of camera you want. An old 4x5...
I use a v750 for scanning my plates prior to varnishing, set at 600 dpi (figure my plates don't have any greater resolution than a standard print). It takes some fairly subtle editing to reproduce...
Very nice, Dikran! I love the soft light, which seems to complement the model's expression.
Cheers!
Bill
I love the tones on this one!
Cheers!

Well he's got at least 90 plates at the State Historical Society of North Dakota (as of March of last year), featuring the Northern Plains Native Americans, and has been invited to do wet-plates of...
I am so sorry!
There's a lot more variability in the self-published work, and since I often have to buy sight unseen, the self-published books are more of a risk. I think that can be overcome with adequate...
A little bit, but it is mainly lighting for a quick cell phone photo. I have the toned one scanned, if you want I can scan the ntoned one for a little more fair comparison. Probably would be the...
Hi Gabriele,
Here is a print I just finalized in untoned (left) and palladium toned (right) versions. The toned version will be my final print. I use Sandy King's toning formula. Four grams of...
Hi All,
Please excuse my interrupting the lovely images in this thread with a beginner's kallitype question. I've been teaching myself kallitypes from Christopher James' book, and have tried two...
Hi Doug,
Alas - I'm in Maryland (at one time my profile had that, not sure how it got dropped). Thanks for the idea!
Cheers!
Bill
Emil,
I am always amazed by your work!
Bill
Lovely!
Hi Christopher,
I appreciate the input! These are appealing, but I couldn't figure out how to make them work with contact prints. I've got 11x14 printing frames (which I've been using for...
Hi All,
I'm looking to purchase a UV exposure box for cyanotypes and kallitypes - I've finally gotten tired of waiting for the sun! I've looked at the ones made by Edwards Engineering (which are...
Hi Randy,
Liv is absolutely wonderful to work with! I don't get the opportunity nearly as often as I should.
Cheers!
Bill
Thanks, John! I got some lovely plates working with Liv this weekend - I hope to have them posted soon.

I haven't posted for a while - here's a tintype of Liv Sage (asmallwoman).

Emil,
I love the work you've been doing. The second one above is one of my favorites!
Cheers!
Bill
Wow! Very cool!
Thank you Thomas! That gives me a starting point. I have a split back contact printer to check the print, but didn't want to cook the print completely before my first check?
Cheers!

Hi All of you Kallitypers,
In preparation for heading into the summer here in the northern hemisphere, I'm thinking of trying Kallitypes. I was wondering if anyone could comment on exposure...
I try hard to use good technique for a perfect plate, but I'm a long way away from it! Although I have to say that one of the favorite plates I have taken is one of those where the imperfections...
Alex,
Lovely work! I'm impressed that you managed to keep the sky under control on wet-plate. Have you seen Lisa Elmaleh's wet-plate work of the everglades? This reminds me of her work.
But...
Very nice, Clickma!
Sorry, I meant with the gen 1 B&W you were supposed to peel apart the "integral" film to allow the print to dry, and then reassemble. Once it had dried.
Bob - I have contacted IP, recontacted them today - if I hear anything, I'll pass it along.
Andrew- I store them flat in a cool dark room for a month before storage, which is annoying but...
For the color and gen2 B&W they're saying you don't need to peel them apart. Just store them flat in a cool dry place with good air flow around the print for a month. The alkali issue is a new one...
Yep - that looks like it. I think I'll need to trim off the trap ends. Ugh. It would be nice if they gave that in the general directions.
Thanks!
Bill
Hi All,
I'm trying my first box of the second generation 8x10 Impossible project B&W film, and 3 of 5 exposures have turned orange in parts of the film. I've used the gen 1 film (though didn't...
I love both of them, Dr. Tang! I particularly love the capture of the model's pose and expression on the first one.
Cheers!

Check out Carol Bigthumb's photo tours of the slot canyons. I went out with her group a couple of years ago, did upper and lower antelope canyons as well as a couple of lesser known ones. Tripods not...
