Very well done! At first I wasn't sure how simple subject was going to turn out, then I saw your final image, it worked very well. Very nice photo and the subject was perfect.

Absolutely wonderful!

[@brescialeonessa]

What a wonderful work!

[@topsportschool]

Thx for answering that quickly. You mention that using red light gives the plate more speed. I suppose that the red ochtend is then only active during first sensitief with iodine .. thx again for your first answer … grtz

Looks like a lot of work

Inspirational, excellent work. Your dedication is incredible! I have just got my first wet plate camera for tintype and ambrotype and also plan to explore this side of photography. Well done my friend!

[@Madamnesia]

excellent

[@trdn1]

Thank you for this video. I will be using it to demonstrate the process in a Masters class paper that I am writing. Excellent work!

[@Garmaak]

Really amazing ! That's when you realize what was the meaning of taking a picture back in the 19th century. Anyway, excellent job man !

@Jesslayc Tintypes and Ambrotypes (also called Wet Plate Collodion) were used more in the US during the war. The patent on Daguerrotypes was enforced pretty severely so they cost too much. In addition Tintypes and Ambrotypes are much easier and don't involve mercury fumes. There's plenty of information the process if you just google around.

[@irsyadnuro]

I want learning to do this process, do you have any practical guidance? an article or such things it..

[@Jesslayc]

Des sous-titres en français ce serait super.

[@antontintype7832]

Sugoi-des!

[@topsportschool]

I see that the red light in your darkroom is always acrive during sensitising and developping? Is their no risk for veiling ? Thx and have fun

[@yokohamabird]

Back in 2020, there was no affordable video camera to film in a very dark environment. It was just for filming, and I don't usually use red light during sensitizing because you need to check a subtle change of color on the silver surface. Applying red light intentionally on dag plate makes exposure time shorter, FYI.
