The black art: wet plate collodion photography

Must be a safe area to leave his gear a quarter mile away 😂

absolutely beautiful and magical to this day.

Only for the really dedicated film shooters, because doing this requires you to have portable darkroom.
Ah I'm happy with the more modern & convenient roll and sheet films 😀

Wow

Had the pleasure of photographing Adrian in action today at fotofest 23 in Hastings New Zealand. Incredible process love it.

What was the photographical process in the 1800s where people had to sit very still for a period of time to get a picture?

Lewis Carroll bought me here

Heres an idea: PARK CLOSER

😍😍

It never gets old. Seeing an image develop on a plate or paper. It's always a zen moment.

Digital is going in the direct where every single digital image will be perfect, high resolution, sharp, perfect color, low noise, just perfect. Perfect is boring when it comes to photos. You need some imperfections or mistakes to make the best photographs. That is why film will always be the number one medium for photography. Because it just isn't quite perfect and when you reach your first goals new goal posts are extended as the film world is far more vast than the digital world.

Oh Boy! taking a chance, that the camera will still be there when you rushed back. Haha! This would be a disaster if you were in the Bronx. Haha!😅 great vlog though, thanks.

im really thinking about finding a way to adapt wet or dry plates to an instax mini pin hole camera. lol only issue is, i don't have room for developing or making the plates

Bro imagen being a photographer back than it'd be stressful not to mention a free work out not to sure I'd wanna do all that if I have to run around lol

Also you need to see when it’s ready, during development. It’s not an act of faith. But I still love this video.

Have no idea how he went jogging with that plate and didn’t have silver splashed all over the sides lol

It's actually quite safe to submerge the plate in the light.

Can't hear you over the music.

Always amazes me 🙂

brilliant idea to have the trailer as a darkroom

Hello I am a subscriber to South Korea.

There is no information about collodion wet plate in South Korea. So I want to ask you some questions.

I am using a poeboy collodion (Cadmium bromide is not available in South Korea )

The picture is still blurry or the contrast is poor. I'm not sure if it's a silver nitrate issue or a developer issue. Collodion was definitely well made. The developer made it well by adding iron sulfate, acetic acid and ethanol. But the picture is blurry. I am doing an ambro type. Is it a problem with silver nitrate? Specific gravity is exactly 1.07. If the pH of silver nitrate is about 5~6, can the picture be blurry or the contrast is weak?

Heck of a work everything was back then. Now its just in your fingertips. How hard things were and it tells about where we have came from. Absolutely amazing 😍

When you look into the camera lens why is the view upside down? Its really cool though that it still turns out beautiful! Wow I appreciate how patient photographers were back in the day. Imagine having to reshoot a photograph if they didn’t like the outcome of the photo.

Began working with wet plate collodion photography methods eight years ago and the process continues to amaze me!

This is a very well done video, including some backstory, chemistry and a great documentary on the process – the only thing that is missing is "the bit to watch" 😉

Amazing technique still alive!

Looks amazing, I wish I could do that

This is very inspirational. Might be my new hobby.

3:57. The boys escape from the meth lab…… I mean darkroom

Awesome
