I'm going to a big regional Civil War re-enactment deal tomorrow and intend to shoot the dry plates in my Chamonix & pre-Civil War Petzvals. I have two double plate holders but plan on taking a lot more shots than just four. My plan is to use a small changing bag to switch out exposed plates with fresh ones as needed. My thinking was to keep these in my car, but I'm having second thoughts as air temp is supposed to be hitting nearly 90 degrees--will be much hotter in the car. I fear the gelatin will melt! My plan was to keep the plates cool in an ice chest, but now I'm wondering if the cold plates will have condensation on them when I take them out? Will also carry some holders with Efke 25 in them as back up. Any thoughts?
