    Thank you very much! I've discovered there is a brief time at twilight when anything placed in this west window photographs like magic, so I use this often.

    A little Saturday afternoon back yard studios portrait setup. I managed to pull my kids away from the video games long enough to pose for me.
    Chamonix 45H1 camera with a 5x7 back standard and bellows on it with a plate holder. 4 sec at 5.6 8 split.

    Here are a couple 8x10s from yesterday. I was focusing on this bridge up in the mountains. Made a tintype and a plexiglass negative. The negative was an afterthought since I didn't have any glass, just the plexi (that ended up getting stuck in the holder and getting scratched by the darkslide). I used it to test a projection lens I just got.

    Thanks, Andrew! Bixby is on my bucket list for sure. Couldn’t find an official name for this bridge. It’s local to L.A. Best name I could find for it was Upper Big Tujunga Canyon bridge.

    After doing some searching, apparently the name of the bridge is (according to wikipedia, and BridgeHunter.com, and others) The Big Tujunga Narrows Bridge, originally named the Armstrong Bridge.
    Nice photos!

    Many thanks!

    The first plate was a hot mess. Warm and dry yesterday - 80F with 16% humidity. It sucked the moisture right out of them.

    Sensitize by inspection.

    Does anyone do this? With different temperatures and emulsions, plates sensitize at different rates. Two questions:

    1) What should an adequately sensitized plate look like?
    2) Is there any truth to the fact that over sensitizing (is this even possible?) can cause issues during development?
