Some ideas are so simple.....

Jo Smigiel from the collodion forum posted an brilliant idea for taking of the protective cover from aluminium sheets.
If you have ever tried to do this with gloves you will know that it is almost impossible to do.
Solution : just a tiny piece of tape sticked at the corner of a plate and it comes of very easy. Just as simple as that.
I just made some pictures to illustrate this brilliant tip.

Solution, just a tiny piece of tape.

Evaluation of the ECW

It's already more than 2 weeks ago that the first ECW took place. Time flies....
We have received many positive comments.
Again, many thanks for that.

 At the moment we are thinking of making this to a yearly or 2 years event.
And for that reason we need your input.

Please be streight and honest :
What should we change, add, modify, introduce etc ?
Just let me know your ideas.

Thanks

Nice publication in Shutr Magazine

Today i received a copy of Shutr Magazine.

They covered 10 pages with my work.

A little story about wet plate photography and several plates.

It's always nice to see your own work published, so i am a "little" proud.....
