    how to learn about wetplate

    Can anyone recommend resources for learning tintypes etc? There are many examples of people shooting wet plates on this forum; where did everyone learn? Silver gelatin was easy to learn just by reading Kodak datasheets. Where do I get "pyroxylin"? What times do I use? Do I have to custom-make holders and everything? Most of all, are there resources that explain the process?
    Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.

    Go to:

    Buy his manual with videos. This is the most comprehensive information when starting out, or as a reference when you've been shooting collodion for awhile.
