Awesome video man! Those photos came out great.

[@Studlysteadman]

Thanks! It’s such a fun process!

[@tplyons5459]

Great show but why not use a cable release and the T setting?

Just to be clear, you coat your plate with collodion, which is not sensitive to light. It is, however, very sticky when wet so it sticks to the glass plate. Without it, the light sensiti e silver nitrate solution would not stick to the glass plate. When the collodion is dry you put the plate into a bath of silver nitrate and water. After a few minutes you drain the excess silver nitrate solution and insert the plate into your camera's plate holder, which has a sliding cover over the plate so that light can't get to it. These steps After the collodion bath have to de done in darkness, or at most a very faint red light. Now you take the plate holder with the wet plate inside out to the camera, attach it to the back of the camera, pull out the slide that shielded the plate from light and make your exposure. Put the dark slide back to shield the plate from light and run the plate holder back to your dark box for developing. You have to do this while the plate is still wet -- if it dries out before you develop it then you're out of luck. 😉 Yes, it's tougher to do this in the desert, in the summer.

Love the process, is there a link to your portable darkroom bag?!

Dope

Great video. So after the plate is exposed, is it developer, then water stop, then fixer, then water? Just want to make sure I have the sequence right. And after it's soaked in the silver nitrate, does it have to be loaded into the plate holder in total darkness? Or is red safe light ok? Thanks

Where did you get your mobile darkroom box? I’ve been looking for some but can’t find any

[@user-kcrpine]

There’s many options but I too have yet to find one quite like this. It would be nice if channels would have the decency to answer questions, but my suggestion would be to design one yourself. It shouldn’t be that hard. Good luck.

@@user-kcrpine The box is a Bin Warehouse 32 gallon foldable tote. This setup is otherwise known as a Bastardbox. Unfortunately I don't think they make that specific box any longer but I'm sure with enough searching you can find something similar by a diff company. Alternatively, a much less expensive and simple option that a lot of international traveling wet platers use is a simple cardboard box. Seal up any light leaks with gaffers tape and light proof fabric for a hood and you're good to go. You can, of course, build yourself a large wooden darkbox which will be much more sturdy, spacious, last longer, and look better but they're heavier and bulkier.

@StudlyVlog great shots! The camera is lovely! Is it home made or branded?

[@user-kcrpine]

Factory. Perhaps a Korona.

[@user-kcrpine]

Or Ansco.
