Today i finally had the time to run a quick test with my new fresnel groundglass made by Massimiliano Acanfora (Bomm Camera’s Italy).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first saw this fresnel last year at the ECW on the Bomm camera of Dennis Ziliotto </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and this year on a bigger Bomm from Tom Klein. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All I can say, the difference is huge!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s always difficult to make a digital picture of the subject projected on the ground glass.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when using the fresnel it’s easy. See the differences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For focussing you don’t have to move your head anymore to see what’s happening in the corners. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s like looking at an LCD screen, that bright.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The light is spread very equally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even not covered with a dark cloth i am able to see the whole picture. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of the best investments I ever made on my wet plate gear!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of you might already know, I am downgrading my collection of wet plate gear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over the years I have collected quite some wet plate stuff.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have decided to sell most of it as I always use the same lenses and same camera.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it's Time to let them go and have them used by others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All 4 lenses are nearly the same size, 21-22cm in hight </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and rear lens part is about 9-9.5cm in diameter</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No1 </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
300mm F 4.8</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
early serial number 9339</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nice sharp petzval ( I prefer to use Hermagis)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Downside: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
previous owner opened the back part with quite some force,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
using "heavy" tools.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the back glass has some chips of and look quite beaten of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT, the projection on the ground glass looks just great.<br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline; float: none; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">Crispy as every hermagis.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And if you don't know you will never notice it as this part will be inside the camera.... :)</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px;">Hi All,</span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">It has been quite
some time ago that I have posted something on my blog.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Really need to start blogging again. </span><br />
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Problem is that you have to keep up with facebook, instagram
etc,</span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Loads of things
happened in the past period. Many exhibitions, new contacts, travelling etc.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">
But from now on I will try to inform you again every few weeks.</span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;">This post is about
a picture I had in mind already for a few years.</span></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Wanted to do
something with a grand piano, water, nature etc.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Don't ask me why.
It was just a crazy idea which popped up in my mind.</span></div>
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Sometimes ideas can
take a long time before I am able to life on a plate.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">In this case it took more than 2 years…</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm; orphans: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">Always the biggest
problem is to find the right location and the needed props.</span></div>
<span style="color: white; margin: 0px;">By coincidence I
was able to buy the grand piano and because of the extremely warm weather we
had in the past few months the water level at the spotted location was at very low.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;">So perfect combination for this new plate.</span><br />
<span style="color: white;"></span><br />

<br />Alex Timmermanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12172488413626540363noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082760567221843406.post-63854893231611518442017-10-12T03:42:00.003-07:002017-10-12T03:42:50.686-07:00New book from Corroda D'Agostini<div style="text-align: center;">
Just recently I discovered that Corrado D'Agostini published a new book about antique lenses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time he wrote about the famous Lenses coming form Germany and Austria.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
like Voigtlander, Petzval, Busch, Steinheil etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This book is holding more than 300 well documented pages full of history about these lenses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Full with pictures and background information about the makers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So A must have for those who collect and use these kinds of beautiful brass lenses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Already a few years ago I wrote a blog about making your own lens cap for your precious lenses.<br />
<a href="http://collodion-art.blogspot.nl/2010/08/making-your-own-lenscap-isnt-that.html">http://collodion-art.blogspot.nl/2010/08/making-your-own-lenscap-isnt-that.html</a><br />
<br />
Recently i visited a friend of mine, Henk Peters, and he showed me his made lens cap</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for his "new" Hermagis petzval.<br />
This cap is even easier to make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But at the same time I realized I had a lens holding a similar cap.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is one of my first large format lenses I ever bought, a Voigtlander Heliar Universal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On that lens there still is it's original lens cap which works exactly the same way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

the focal lenght and f-stop of a lens.<br />
Of course you could mount it on a camera.<br />
In that case it's quite easy to determine the focal lenght.<br />
But without a camera it's also quite easy to measure it.<br />
On important thing. If you want a accurate measurement be sure you<br />
always focus at infinity!<br />
<br />

I Just recently discovered that a lens I own was previously owned by Jacob Wothly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacob Wothly was a German photographer. His real name was Jacob Woodtlj.<br />
Don't know why he has changed his name but it sounds nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacob invented the Wothlytype back in 1860 which was patented in England in 1864 <br />
and in Paris in 1865.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't know how it worked but he was using some radioactiv material <br />
combined with collodion which made it able to produce positive pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here you can find some more information about Jacob Wothly ( sorry it's in German):<br />
<a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wothly">https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wothly</a><br />
<br />
The lens itself is exactly the same as the famous Jamin/Datlot cone lenses.<br />
But this one has a tube like end instead of the typical cone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Is anyone actually using this old process?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Would love to know more about it.</div>

Recently I had the opportunity to "shoot" Marcel Wanders.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Marcel Wanders is a famous Dutch designer, <br />
well known for his awesome products, all over the world .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just have a look at his beautiful website: <a href="http://www.marcelwanders.com/" target="_blank">Marcel Wanders</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was able to use his own studio which is located just in the middle of Amsterdam at the third floor.<br />
We were extremely lucky finding a parking place just in front of the building. <br />
As you already might know my car is fully loaded will stuff which I need <br />
to make just a single picture. So it took us some time to lug everything up....<br />
That's the only downside of wet plate photography.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
Setting up everything always takes me about 1 hour (including making a test plate).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally with these kind of shoots we are very limited in time but Marcel loved the process <br />
and he was very willing to pose and was in no hurry.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were able to make 3 plates and as always the last one was the best... :)<br />

sorry for that. I promise you, you will see some more blogs very soon!<br />
<br />A lot of things happened in the meantime. Like an exhibition during Photo Shanghai, several publications in magazines, some new pictures made for the storytelling series, new BIG studio and a lot more. So I have been quite busy in the past half year.<br /><br />For now I want to share the making of a picture (actually two pictures).<br />I had this picture in my mind for already a long time and wanted to include it in the storytelling series. <a href="http://www.alextimmermans.com/portfolio/story-telling/" target="_blank">click here for the series</a><br />But I was asked to make an exhibition picture for a very talented Dutch photographer who uses tulips for making his art. just have a look at his work: <a href="http://www.basmeeuws.com/" target="_blank">www.basmeeuws.com</a><br />So this time we used the same setting for making 2 almost identical pictures. <br />One for the exhibition of Bas Meeus and one for my storytelling series.<br />
<br />
It always fascinates me how colours do change while using the wet plate process.<br />
The umbrella was black, and the Tulips did have all kinds of colours.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to Bas Meeuws for posing (and sorry for the wet clothes.... :) )<br />
To Oogenlust for hosting their garden again.<br />
To Paul Jongerius for helping me with the Tulips. <br />And to Ferry vd Vliet for being the model in this picture and the digital picture he made during the shoot<br />

The idea for making this plate was in my mind for months already.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The problem was finding the perfect location for making it. <br />
We needed to find a shallow pond and had to make a <br />
sturdy platform for the ballet dancer to stand on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
As the both the dress and swan were white we also needed cloudy weather <br />
to have a bit more control over the exposure.<br />
<br />
I bought 5 umbrella stands (4 for the platform and one for the swann) <br />
and placed wooden sticks into them.<br />
That made it possible to adjust both the platform and swan in height. <br />
That was a must as they both should be able to "dance" on the water surface.<br />
<br />
Despite the cloudy weather is was extremely difficult to nail the exposure.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So making this plate took us about 5 hours and the very final plate came out just great.<br />
<br />
Many thanks to the whole team: <br />
Heather May (model) and her husband Jan, <br />
Ferry van de Vliet (assistant and photographer) <br />
and Patrice Lesueur (Lightinabox) video.<br />

The making of "The Kite Runner" again took us 2 days...<br /><br />Placing and adjusting the kites into the tree took us more than 1 1/2 hour during the first day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day started cloudy (which I prefer) but as soon as we were ready the sun "exploded".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As I prefer to use my petzvals wide open there was just to much light for decent exposures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Taking of the cap and putting it on again within 1/4 of a second is simply impossible to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I gave it several tries but as expected it just didn't work<br /><br />So we had to take down everything and did the same thing the next day.<br />Cloudy day, almost no wind so perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again it took us some plates. It's Always for adjusting the final details.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just before it started to rain we made the final plate.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Durant Paris 330 mm f4.3. It has a waterhouse slot but in it's history <br /> someone took out the internal ring to make it faster. (I still have that ring)<br /><br /> It comes with it's original Brass lens cap and flange!<br /> A chip of the glas of the inner rear element. <span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Nice early French lens. Asking price €995.-<br /><br />It covers 18 x 24cm at infinity and about 25 x 25cm at close portrait.</span></div>

As you most likely already know my head is always filled with crazy ideas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ideas is one, but making a plate out of it is a always a challenge itself</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Problem always is to find the suitable location, the right props etc. <br />
And of course I need the best weather.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to warm and cloudy....<br />
<br />
This time I wanted to make a plate using a vacuum cleaner to expose the re-birth of Spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After searching for two days for a good location I finally ended up using the garden <br />
of a good friend of mine, Johan Verhulst.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A huge garden with some amazing big trees and ofcourse enough <br />
leaves which I needed for this plate. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Making this plate took us half a day and just after we finished it started raining. <br />
So we had some luck during that day.<br />

During past few weeks I have been working on a new picture I had in mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time I already knew the title: "The rain maker"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I discovered a beautiful antique green house which was flooded at that moment.<br />
So I asked for permission to use it for my idea and the owner agreed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made some clouds and wanted to see these clouds really pour rain during the shoot.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I had to make a construction of tubes and hoses to make that work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first shoot wasn't a succs. <br />
The weather conditions weren't good and somehow the plate wasn't interesting enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the second shoot everything worked out just perfect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here you can see the actual picture and some pictures <br />
made by Henk peters showing HOW it was made.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The final picture: "The rain maker...."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I know, it was about time
posting something new on my blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">A lot of things happened in
the past few months.<br />
Some great gallery shows, new studio etc. But that I will keep for my next
blogs.<br />
In the meantime I ran a quick test how to expand the life span of my developer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It's nothing new that you
can't store your developer for ever. <br />
On the long term, depending on the light and temperature, it will darken and
won't function anymore as it should be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In the old days I stored my
chemicals in those "collapsible" bottles. <br />But the downside was that
they weren't transparent. So you weren't able to see how it looked like</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So I ran a test using the
"Vacuvin" plugs. Every wine lover now knows what I am talking about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These plugs are being used
to suck out the oxygen of a wine bottle which makes you able to store it a
little longer after the bottle was opened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I did the same with 2
bottles of developer. <br />One was stored with the Vacuvin plug and the other just
with a normal plug.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Both bottles were filled
with fresh developer and stored in front of a window, directly into the sun <br />and above the central heating for
about 2 weeks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">As you can clearly see the
right bottle became more yellow already after a few days. <br />The left bottle (with
the Vacuvin plug) remained at almost the same color.<br />
So this is a very easy way to extend the life span of your developer in a
rather cheap way.</span><br />
<br />
P.s. running the same test with a collodion mix now.<br />
and ofcourse not placed above the central heating or in the direct sun.... lol<br />

Every now and then I receive questions about petzval lenses. <br />How does a petzval lens looks like, how the glass should be mounted, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I made this short video which shows you the inside of a petzval lens <br />and how the glass parts should be mounted.</div>

Idea's can pop up in my mind but stay there for months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was one of those. <br />
I made this picture in my mind already a dozen times before and now it is ready <br />
it's not exactly what I was expecting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
It's not a bad plate but still not exactly what I am looking for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually this plate got by far the most likes and has been shared hundreds of times.<br />
So in the coming weeks I will have a remake of this one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

was hosting this shoot with his beautiful garden <br />but he was also the model.<br />
Normally he’s behind the camera so this were his first modeling steps.... <br />While making<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>the first plate I pulled
out the slide of the holder while the cap wasn’t on the lens.<br />
So don’t know the exact exposure time but it came our surprisingly well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
We made some minor changes on the set up and made 3 other plates.<br />
As always the last one was the best it and it turned out to be the fastest
shoot I ever did. <br />
</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Plate was made within 2 hours!<br /><br />As Ferry wasn't the model this time he was able to make some pictures of the shoot itself.<br /><br />26x26cm black glass ambrotype<br />exposure time 6 seconds<br />Dallmeyer 3a at f4</span><br />

Today I had the honor to "shoot" Jimmy Nelson.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Jimmy is an extremely passionate photographer who has been working <br />
on his giant project for more than 5 years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of that project his book "Before they pass away" is published.<br />
A book is filled with extremely beautiful pictures of tribes living all over the world.<br />
Most of his work is made with analogue photography.<br />
A must have for every photo book lover.<br />
<br />
If you ever have the chance visiting one of his performances, go for it.<br />
In my whole life I haven't met anyone before talking about photography<br />
with so much enthusiasm than Jimmy Nelson.<br />
<br />
Just watch this video which is all about his project: <br />

Recently I bought a very nice, in it's original case, Dallmeyer 8x 10" rapid rectilinear.<br />
The lens in is extremely good shape including it's original set of waterhouse stops. <br />
Matching serial numbers on lens and stops. Lens was made back in 1891.<br />
<br />
So far a nice find but it was holding a great simple lens cap alternative.<br />
As most of us are using these lenses and mostly petzval lenses wide open we never use the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
waterhouse stops but we do need a lens cap.<br />
What about using the waterhouse slot to close the lens???<br />
In the leather case holder the water house stops there was also a thin black piece of plastic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That piece of plastic just fits perfect in the waterhouse slot. <br />
Est voila, you just don't need a lens cap anymore!<br />
Why haven't thought about that idea before. So all credits go to it's previous owner, Henk Peters.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes life can be so simple......</div>
