@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

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.
