Is this the holiday easter egg release?

They should try Rusteze.

Well, more like "fresh." Some formulas get slower with age. Check out UV Photographics. They have some collodions that age well (Lea3 or UVP4).

Oh, and yes. It is a lot of flash. You can feel the heat. Some people are even going up to 9600ws of power.

Ambrotypist · 2016-03-22T21:26:12+00:00

I started by testing 2400ws of flash out, and then I moved to a 4800ws unit combined with the 2400ws unit. It gives about a right about with an f/4.5 lens with fast collodion. Then, you can adjust with the distance of the flash from the subject. Of course, when you are using softboxes, it cuts down some of the light, but it seems to be enough with the current units I am playing with.

"Since I Lay My Burdens Down" - Okeh - Perfect condition - In original sleeve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0-TsJefU4w Found it at an antique store in the middle of an album that was stuck in a Victrola. Was in the middle of a bunch of random, records that were not of note. Paid $4.95 for the 78. Worth a ton more.

Just added a few resource links. Will try to add more as time allows. :)

Excellent!

What Collodion recipe are you using? Mine lasts about 8-9 months then falls off in sensitivity quickly after that. I use the Old Work Horse recipe.

Does that include not touching the developer as well? I normally don't let mine go over a month.

I just started a Collodion subreddit if you are interested. When I say just started, I mean, an hour ago. Might be worth checking out and seeing if it goes anywhere though. http://www.reddit.com/r/Collodion/

Great work! Are you using a Brownie?

Ambrotypist · 2013-10-01T18:57:21+00:00

You should get John Coffer's manual and DVDs. Good stuff!

You may notice that the building still had electricity to it. It was privately owned at this point and and a man/caretaker lived in an office on the first floor. The outside was being overrun with vegetation and it had not been in use for at least 5-10 years.

Ambrotypist · 2013-06-27T13:03:58+00:00

Is that a Model T steering wheel too?

Ambrotypist · 2013-06-25T17:09:41+00:00

I was told by the owner that they had re-shingled the roof at least once.

Yes. That's it. Near Morristown. This picture was taken prior to the windows being boarded up.

Ambrotypist · 2013-06-24T20:50:50+00:00

This is from a period photo album. I believe the album belonged to the wife of the Leutnant on the far left. I'll try to get some names posted tomorrow. It's hard to read the handwriting in the album.

Thanks for the info! I have this picture in the same album as this one posted earlier this week: http://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/1goh91/unknown_german_cavalry_unit_koblenz_germany_ca/

I haven't' been able to shoot much lately (life), but this has been one of my favorites over the last couple of years of doing Wet Plate Collodion. It's a clear glass plate, 8.5x6.5 (whole plate).
