Day of Joy

5x7 Alu-plate

Wooden fieldcamera

Rodenstock lens F/3,5

Exposure 2-4 sec. 

In my garden

Very sunny days, almost to much light.

I made a mix of very old collodion and fresh collodion. 

That gives me a little more time.

They are all made with the Kodak Aero Ektar lens.

Some on F/4 and others on F/2,5

World Wide Wetplate Day

4 May 2013, World Wetplate Day, 

It was so sunny, to much sun for my Aero Ektar on F/2,5 

so this is one on F/4 and old collodion.

Old collodion is much slower then new. It gives me two stops, the old collodion.

The first attempt for The Nest.

Wetplate Outsite

Here it is, my darkbox, at last!

It's small, light and it works good. 

It's very warm under the cloth and I have to be very careful to do the cloth around me so that no light enters. But it works - I'm happy! :-)
