A Few Wet Plate Style Pictures Taken In The Shop!
 

Sam Green stopped by to take some old style pictures . Each picture had an exposure of about 7 minutes . and probably took around 20 mins per picture . The final product ends up on a thin piece of aluminum!

Interesting. The first pix looks like something out of Victor Page's book on the MODEL A FORD.

Very cool. I've done a lot of Film photography but never wet plate. That takes real skills and major luck!!!Looks great.

Did the person in the last picture hold that position for 7 minutes?

Look up wet plate colodion. This was one of the first photography processes. I'm not sure how it's done in modern times but back in the day mercury fumes were part of the developing proccess
