Holga Tintypes

Las Setas, 2015

Owl Cat, 2015

Tulip, 2015

Decided to take a break from the Brownie camera tintypes and try a few on the Holga.  Good thing the aluminum plates I had cut for the brownie fit perfectly in the back of the Holga camera.  These were all shot on a Holga 120 Panoramic camera using wet plate collodion (Old Workhorse formula).

Finally enough light for more wet plate pinhole experiments.  Both of these are tintypes and were shot with a Leonardo 4 x 5 pinhole camera.

Wet Plate Self Portraits

Self Portrait 1, Wet Plate Collodion, 2014

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.
