  2. color glass / dry plates ?

    by , 04-12-2013 at 08:45 AM
    for too long i lived my photographic life without color.
    in the past couple of years i have been seeing more and more color in
    the things i like to photograph. im not sure what is going on
    but i am enjoying turning black and white images into color ones.

    and half the plates look OK so far ...

    i've gotta mix some more hardening fixer, as much as i hate hardener ...
    to keep my emulsion from lifting + frilling from my plate...

    the gelatin / emulsion is still damp+tacky or i would make ...

    i coated a baker's dozen of 4x5 plates yesterday
    this morning i verified the timing of my shutter
    then i harvested an ancient dry plate bag-mag purchased
    long ago but never used.
    i used a flang to pry up the septums and slid 3 plates in ...
    i made some exposures and looked forward to seeing the results

    i emptied the contents of a 1L container i had developer
    and poured the contents into a tray.
    i put the timer on 3 mins and put ...

    by , 04-07-2013 at 10:24 AM
    been shooting some of these over the weekend.
    it took me a while to get the kinks out of the process

    but now it's a piece of cake and about as easy as shooting paper negatives ..

    here's a 35mm tintype ...
    i just stuck the plate inside a 35mm camera

    i've also got a couple of clear glass ambrotype one was taken at the coast
    the other one i hand colored with you know what ...
