Tree

I shot this tree in front of our house this morning because it’s summer and it’s Friday and it’s my birthday so I took the day off and wanted to do something with it. Shot on my #speedgraphic using a @kodak #aeroektar178mm lens wide open and my new #chromagraphica #4x5 #wetplatecollodion film holder that arrived a couple of days ago. I shot three photos, and this was probably the most technically correct. I wanted to work on my collodion pouring technique since my first plates had so many problems. This was my second attempt at this shot this morning; the first had a developer island. So I bumped up the amount of developer I was pouring on the plate from 15ml to 20ml and that seems to have solved that issue. #allthroughalenspodcast #largeformat #wetplate #tintype #filmphotography

While I had everything set up, I couldn’t resist making a second tintype this weekend. This one misses the veiling from the first, but makes up for it with both developer island *and* developer burns. I have to say I love the roughly heart-shaped perfectly place island, though. #tintype #tintypephotography #wetplatecollodion #largeformat #speedgraphic #aeroektar

This is the first #tintype I shot at home and boy, is there a lot wrong with it. Oysters, developer islands, maybe some veiling. I’m definitely out of practice on my collodion pouring technique, too.

Couldn’t be happier….

Another tintype from last weekend @penumbrafoundation with @elmalayheehoo. I highly recommend Penumbra’s classes if you’re interested in trying this. #tintype #wetplate #wetplatecollodion #largeformat #4x5 #workshop

Pedro and Little Enid.

I brought some toys to the wet plate workshop @penumbrafoundation taught by the amazing @elmalayheehoo to use for still lifes. This one features the mascot of everyone’s favorite racist tourist trap, South of the Border, and the main character from the movie and graphic novel Ghost World. #tintype #wetplate #wetplatecollodion #makeyourownfilm #largeformat #4x5

@dapingluo and @juliet2233 packing up their work from the weekend. The varnish on tintypes takes a while to dry, so to keep them safe on our travels, @penumbrafoundation provided us with CD cases to tape our tintypes and ambrotypes inside of. #wetplate #wetplatecollodion #tintypes #film #sx70 #polaroid #polaroidoriginals #filmphotography #filmphotographic

Luna and ArtieB.

I brought some toys from home for still lifes for the wet plate collodion workshop @penumbrafoundation last weekend. These 🐙 are the mascots of a belly dancing conference my wife goes to.

Old Workhorse collodion, some Modern Schneider-Kreuznach 210mm lens I was unfamiliar with (not a Symmar-S), continuous lighting, 15 second exposure. #wetplate #wetplatecollodion #tintype #film #filmphotography #filmphotographic

Silver baths.

After coating your aluminum plate or piece of glass with collodion, you submerge it into a bath of iodized silver nitrate. This is what makes the plate sensitive to light. Silver nitrate stains, hence the look of these baths.

Selfie.

Our first assignment in the wet plate collodion workshop @penumbrafoundation this past weekend was to do a self-portrait. My work partner for the day, @juliet2233, framed, focused, and tripped the shutter. The class, taught by @elmalayheehoo, was a blast. #wetplate #wetplatecollodion #tintype #iffilmisdeadmakeyourown #selfportrait
