Collodion - Wet Plate Images

[goamules]

First plate of the workshop is always an exposure test. Exposures in early morning light could be from 5 to 20 seconds "depending". This one was spot on. But notice I dropped it (tear near troll), thereby nullifying my professional moment.

Having some more fun, this is on brown not black.

Thanks, Nede. The beauty is that it's just skylight on my front porch. I control it mostly by how I position everything.

Nice of you to say! I'm trying to get the little ones really clean so when I move up to 8x10s in the very near future (I have a little building to do) they'll be real stunners!
