Self Portrait 2, Wet Plate Collodion, 2014 |
Two new ambrotypes, both shot on black glass with a slightly modified Brownie No 2 box camera. The first was a 30 second exposure, the second probably a 20 second exposure, interrupted by a passerby wanting to know why I was standing in my studio door staring at the strange box! And, in case you were wondering, I don't really look like this.

Great picture. Where did you buy the chemicals?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous - Thanks! I bought the chemistry from a variety of sources. Where are you located?
ReplyDeleteBritish Columbia, Canada.
DeleteI'm in Europe, so I buy from European suppliers. There are quite a few companies in the States but I don't know if they'll ship to Canada. Maybe try one of the Collodion forums online.
