Heres a plate from the other day as I was supposed to be cleaning the studio.....easily distracted? moi?
Now wet plate can be known for its long exposures but this one was a crazy 12 minutes.....
It was grim outside so this is window light with a bit of bounced fill from some CFL's.
Rule of thumb says the plate should be on the way to drying by then and losing its sensitivity. Wonder how far I can push it.

Tony
Great but...............................
I'm really interested in hearing what they all are
so can you take me on 'an identification tour' please
I guess that the middle one is the studio cam that you bought on eBay a month or so ago that you told me about
Is this 'your's and John's studio' ?
best

Hi Andrew,
Yes John and I share a studio so they are a mix of our cameras.
A couple of 12x15s, a few whole plate, couple of 5x7 (13x18), a few half plate and one itsy bitsy quarter plate.
