Thank you!
Thanks! I think right now my chemistry is just dialed in. The collodion pour definitely had some waves in it from a lack of solvents and the breeze also helping to dry it too fast.
For the developer, just the right amount of alcohol, maybe. I use a 50mL beaker that has some headroom and probably put 60mL in it per plate. On this particular one when I saw the developer wave cover the plate I thought, wow that went way better than expected.
60mL is a lot of developer for a 8x10 plate. i use about 50mL for 11x14

watch this video from 4:21
the minimal amount of developer used, and when i use this development technique with very aggressive agitation my plates are super bright. the more developer u use the duller your silver will be
u dont need to worry about covering the whole plate with the initial pour cuz youll get it with the agitation
