    Mixed up all my collodion chemistry this morning and shot my first plates. I think I'm hooked...

    An 8x10 wet plate negative I did yesterday, using the Deardorff and the 12" Kodak Ektar f4.5 (not the Commercial Ektar). Exposure was 30 seconds at f6.8Collodion used was Quinn Jacobson's recipe for negatives, and the accompanying developer. View a much larger version here.

    Thank you Christopher, I’ve worked really hard at making clean collodion negatives, and I seem to be succeeding.

    I've been down with a cold for the past week, so I haven't exactly been enthusiastic to get out the Collodion and make plates (*cough*), but yesterday I could not resist!
    This is my first plate made with a new (to me) 300mm Darlot lens. This is an 8x10 inch glass negative made using Quinn's Collodion recipe for negatives. It was a bright afternoon and the UV was streaming in, so it was a very fast exposure for a negative: 10 seconds. The Darlot has no cut for Waterhouse stops, so this is wide open (approximately f4). I question whether or not this is really a Petzval lens (where's the edge swirl??) but I like its rendering A LOT anyway. I have to check to see if the rear group is assembled properly.
