Demonstration of the wet plate process

 

Giving a life demonstration about the wet plate process is alway so much fun.

Sharing my passion for collodion photography gives me so much energy!
 

Yesterday i was invited by Fotoclub Lucifer to show this beautiful process to a large audience.

Some good questions were asked and we had a nice discussion at the end with a smaller group.

 

Special thanks to my friends, Henk Peters ( video) and Ben van Os (Photos).

Henk used his camera so everything could be followed on a large projection screen.
Including the work i did inside the darkroom.
So the audience was able to follow the whole process life
 

Unfortunately i had very limited time to set up the whole thing so i wasn't able to make a testplate.

Next time i really need some more time for this. 30 minutes is way to short for this. 

Beside of some minor flaws the plate came out good.
It's always tricky to estimate the exposure time at a place where you have

never made a wet plate before. But all went just perfect.
Thanks for the sitters because the were VERY patience!
