@landrymajor Thanks Landry, it really is a wonderful medium. I’m currently making tintypes and haven’t ventured much into glass ambrotypes yet. The quick prep stage for tintypes lured me in slightly.

For the last 3 months I’ve been learning a Victorian method of photography from 1851 called ‘Wet Plate Collodion’. The moment a plate is poured, it needs to be exposed & developed within 10-15 minutes before it dries out. Very steep learning curve but it’s been quite liberating.

@jordanacostahq Cheers, Jordan! Yes I have noted down somewhere re: temperature. I think a few plates I did a week or 2 ago were drying a lot faster than anticipated. Also need to cool down the developer 😬

@auspices @MidWorldMo Oh yeah, I can imagine. It’s such an immersive practice that isn’t easy to just pick up when you’ve got 5 minutes - I’ll soon learn that! No problem re: strobes, happy to answer, I’m still working out the finer details, but all I’d say is make sure you’ve got about 2400w+ 😬

@auspices @MidWorldMo Thanks, Rich! Slowly but surely making my way through it. I started off tackling strobes and getting that down first. The last 2 weeks (?) have been me trying out some natural light guess-sposures which I’ll continue to do for a bit until I’ve got more of an understanding haha!

@PaulWChambers70 I think you’re right, with all the variables I can’t imagine my brain being able to cope with much else extra being thrown into the mix! Haha. I haven’t delved into Ambrotypes just yet, feel working on tin is enough for me at the minute.

@RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMail Hi, I had a package delivered today whilst I was out. The email says it was delivered but none of my neighbours have it & the photo is a ‘closeup’ of the parcel showing none of the environment around it where it was left/delivered. Can you please help?

@deborahparkin You’re welcome! They are honestly fantastic, you must love the original plates. I started wet plate a few months ago and just working my way with it. Thanks for sharing your work and giving me some hope 😅

@shotbyshaun If this is being used to represent photojournalism then it’s filed under the wrong category. Sat infront of a computer & typed out a series of words that has generated a CGI/Ai blended collage. Definitely not a photo/photograph. Zero reality or ‘Light DNA’. More computer render.
