Great images! Love to see more also!
I own the gear, but those don't make masterpieces. My everyday experience.
Wet Plate Collodion negative (on glass), June 3, 2018. Marys River, Corvallis, OR.
Channeling Timothy O'Sullivan today, it seems.
Its funny how some days the Wet Plate chemistry behaves flawlessly (the previous two forest negatives, for example) and some days its a dog's breakfast. This plate is very much the latter! (But I like its heavy-handed artifacts)
This is my first wet plate negative shot in the Marys River - the south beach view from the grass island. Today was the first opportunity to actually get to this location, as the river was finally low enough to access the spot. I hope to do many more of these river shots. Finally, I feel like I have at my disposal a medium that truly renders these views as I see them in my mind's eye.
5X7 collodion on glass, old Seneca view camera with 1920s 5.5" Kodak f4.5 Anastigmat. 2 minutes exposure at f16. Lots of tripod shake because the legs vibrated with the river flow.
