Hello fellow photographers

I recently learned ambrotype. I took a workshop to confirm I would want to do at home, I do. Now I am approaching the logistics. I am trying to figure out if I want to put in a basement darkroom for development versus investing up front in something more mobile initially. Which did you all start with and why? I have found lots of good resources for mobile darkrooms on this website - so helpful.


Another question - do folks bring ice when shooting on road in summer for the ether in the collodion to prevent boiling?

Many thanks

Alethea
