First shot with the 210 Gold Dot Dagor f6.8. Whole plate shot at f16 for 30 seconds.
Wonderful contrast and composition. Impressively smooth coating.First shot with the 210 Gold Dot Dagor f6.8. Whole plate shot at f16 for 30 seconds.
That lady with the wings? Temptation indeed! But don't let the bottle of Moet fool you (see two glasses? nope!)...she's gonna fly up at the last minute - and remain just out of reach!
Kudos...wonderful work - and, seeing as how wet plate demands a bit of patience...nah - can't go there on this forum!
Two stops faster.
New USP Collodion and new mix of Old Workhorse is two stops faster than 6-week old OWH and 1 year old USP.
I shot this one stop under my normal exposure and it is still over exposed a bit. The dark spots at the bottom are river grass floating by in the 3 second exposure.

Wet plate collodion on 5X7 glass (as a negative), intensified for albumen printing. Lens used was a Voigtlander Petzval f3.2
Andrew,
Thank you.
These are all in Nonthaburi Thailand. I am going on a 2 week trip further afield and will post some more soon.
OK, here is a question for all you experts out there:
In the plates posted, I got this weird foam-like affect in some shadow areas. I only get them at a friend’s (Mark Sawyer) house when we gather for a wet plate day. They only appear white my chemicals and ONLY when I make the exposure. Someone borrowed my chems and DID NOT get this effect. It happened a second time at a later gathering, again only in the shadow areas. Also, the plates stayed in the fix an extra long time in hopes of clearing this effect... no luck.
When I make plates at my house, this effect does not appear at all. The only different chem between the two locations is the fix.
So… any ideas what is going on????
This image is from a wet plate collodion negative made this afternoon, on 4x5 glass, using Quinn's Negative Collodion and corresponding developer.
Camera: Intrepid 4x5
Lens: 105mm Schneider Xenotar f2.8, given to me by a friend because he didn't want to bother with it: the front element is badly scarred from abuses in its past. Still, under the right conditions it can still deliver an image. Also, the vignetting is because this lens is made for a much smaller format than 4x5 (likely 6x9cm).
