All these ambrotypes are getting me excited for this upcoming week, my first foray into the wet plate process. ^__^

For now, all I've got to work with is some expired Polaroid 8x10, a girlfriend, and a dachshund...




Eastman Commercial B 8x10
Fujinon W 210mm f/5.6
1/8th sec. @ f/6.3 + front fall
Polaroid 809, shot @ ASA 64

Thanks Monty!

Another from the same session. This one's a 10"x13" Black Glass Ambrotype

Great shot - reminds me of the Monty Python sketch "... we lived in't cardboard box in't middle of t'street ..."

Be grateful for what you have.

Be grateful for what you have.

That's what I was thinking too... I've been having terrible success with old Polaroid material.

Love the expression. Looks like you totally caught him by surprise.

Yesterday, I were taking some portrait of my friends then two Germany tourists came and ask me about the camera. I told to them about the camera and asked them want to take a photo? They asked me "For free?". I answered "Yes, free!". And this is the result:



Hermagis Eidoscope No 2 at f5.6 on X-ray film.

First post on an image thread... a couple of portraits taken this month:





These were taken with a Leitz Wetzlar Diaron (?) 250mm/f4 projector lens mounted on a Pacemaker Speed Graphic.

I am putting the question mark next to the name because I haven't been able to find any info about this lens on the internet. It's got blue lettering on the rim which notes "Leitz Wetzlar f=250mm" and the only other Leitz projection lens that's got the same blue lettering is the Diaron 200mm/f4, so I guess it must be its bigger brother.

Film is Fomapan 100, developed in Rodinal 1:50.

This is amazing.
It seems to me that people generally look super in wet plate.
