This was a response to Torontoamateur's question but yes - he is here as Bob Carnie. One of his web sites is this one.

Not saying he can help but I'm guessing he'll be in tune with what's going on in the Toronto area. Maybe he can point in the right direction.

How do y'all deal with shooting wetplate in open sunlight like this? My collodion is 50:50 fresh mixed with reeeeeally old stuff, and is very very contrasty. To try and curb it I tried exposing for longer and shortening development time to 10 seconds, with a little improvement but still really heavy and hard to pull detail out of the shadows. Does anyone else have any tips for getting it under control? I'm using ferrous sulfate, glacial acetic acid and potassium nitrate in my developer.
