That was great...I'm really glad you were there to film all the work that goes into capturing one moment in time. Some people don't truly grasp all that goes into one picture.
This reminds me of the large cameras used to shoot the driving of the Golden Spike. I think this is as much historical as creative photographically. In a sense it reminds me of process camera work used for lithography. It would be possible to transport a small process camera to the field and do similar things. Process cameras usually have coated lenses too. When they did direct screen and indirect screen color separations there were some very large format continuous tone, panchromatic films produced mostly by Agfa, some for masking purposes. I am too old to try this now but I contemplated it once by building the camera into the back of a van. Just open the doors and shoot. No application today except historical. Thanks for the efforts.
Trying to find out what happens to the old collodion and used silver nitrate, can you clean the silver solution now it has collodion deposited in the bath or do you have to dispose the used chemicals once they have been used several times?
good video, nice to see an old process is NOT DEAD !!- good show, need more people to use film/ analogue processes( the more we use it the more Kodak / Fuji will make for us !!). by the way should you be wearing more protection (gloves /mask/etc.) considering the dangers of the chemicals you work with?, looks like a very bad case of xma on those hands.
Wet plate registers UV light and the sky usually does not register unless you are shooting for the sky alone and have fairly specific cloud colors and densities.
Just watched it again and still loved it :-) Thank you
It made me happy.
Thank You for sharing..

Wow, fascinating. Just like the old days. Looks laborious and expensive, but it made a beautiful print. I liked the music, too.

Brilliant :-) Realllllly nice work! Really enjoyed it too :-)
I ❤ that camera. Who built it?

I wonder if there's a Paterson tank for 22x30 sheets.
Love it and subscribed.
Very nice!
Luther!
What kind of plate is that?

the sky is blown out, loooooool

I fully expected to see a mule or two carrying the gear. That was too easy.....(joke)
nice rig, except it is by all means not the world largest wet plate camera.
WHICH "SHIT"?
Someone tell him he can take pictures with his phone now
or we can tell him he can eat sausages and hamburgers instead of Gordon bleu and Kung pao...

Abigail Sockeye take it ya don’t have much classic photography experience.
D800e is suck.
Still the d800e is better
