Now that I seem to be getting consistent results with the dry plates in day time, I'm thinking of trying them at night. Yes, ISO 2 is slow but if I photo things that don't move very fast, such as buildings, I should do OK. After all, my hero Brassai did it all the time. I even have a beautiful c.1932 Voigtlander Bergheil 6.5x9 with 105mm Heliar to use! My only worry is that since plates are UV/blue sensitive, will they work at night? Most of the light will be coming from artificial sources and I'm not sure there's much UV there. I think I'll avoid trying magnesium flash on the downtown sidewalks. Any thoughts? Anyone shoot these at night yet?
