Nice one Ding. The empty areas frame the image in an interesting way.
Nice to see you on LFPF!

Thanks Tim. Yes, i checked my profile and it says i've been a member here since Oct 2009! I believe i've lurked here for about 5 more years before that. Being an autodidacte and coming from a country where resources for LF is almost nonexistent, The forum is more than a show and tell place for me. It's my school and sanctuary of sort. albeit quietly.
Well, that's a really cool photo, so I hope you find a way to step out of the darkness and post more of them!
Thanks, but I'd rather just watch:

Thanks for positively egging me on! I've been shooting wet plate an average of 3 days a week since i started this collodion journey more than a year ago. It's more for the reason tha i hate the idea of mixed collodion getting expired than anything else. (i'm a cheapskate!) Here's another one from the same shoot:
Excellent portrait, Ding! The practice you've been getting is reflected in this image!
I'm curious as to how you combine being a cheapskate and a wet plate shooter; I'm seriously interested in collodion, but I haven't found a way yet to make it very affordable. What are the corners you've been able to cut without getting into problems?
VERY excited today....
I have this awesome Gandolfi Universal 4x5 camera - I have this maybe even more awesome ancient Ross lens....
Some time ago I then got the only handmade custom back for roll film ever made for Gandolfi...
But I got that thought: Wouldnt it then be able to use for Polaroid film?
Tried it today, and it Works like a charm!!
Awesome on top of awesome.... I now have a new favourite camera set for my portraits...
..and now with a couple of first results...
(Ross Petzval lens 350mm F4 - polaroid 665)
