Loooong exposure

Post by Fourtoes » Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:46 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

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.
