I’ve not blogged a workshop for a while so heres one from this weekend.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth had no darkroom experience but being a self confessed nerd, who has always had an interest in chemistry, she soon got the hang of it. <\/p>\n

\"PhotoAs usual there were a variety of cameras and lenses to play with. Elizabeth got to grips with the sliding box camera, the Watson studio camera, a whole plate field camera and last but not least the Goerz camera<\/a> that has been sitting on a shelf unused by wet plate hands… until now. <\/p>\n

\"PhotoSome of Elizabeth’s plates from Saturday. She wanted to concentrate on portraiture, so no still life this time, just plate after plate of me. The occasional plate of Elizabeth, where I focussed and removed the lens cap only. There’s only so many plates of me one can tolerate surely.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoShe had already purchased Quinn Jacobson’s collodion manual and had been studying that, I also introduced her to the Osterman and Coffer manuals for comparison.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoIn the wash <\/p>\n

\"Photo<\/p>\n

\"PhotoLooking pretty pleased with herself, and rightly so, her collodion and varnishing techniques were really good from the start.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoVarnishing – Sandarac, Shellac, acrylic and Wax… an opportunity to try all with pros and cons discussed. The milk was for the coffee though!<\/p>\n

\"PhotoYours truly with Elizabeth’s trademarked sharks fin dev pour faults… she soon rectified this.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoSome of her later half plate tintypes.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoShe had invited her Dad along on the Sunday afternoon to sit for some Birthday plates.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoAnd what cracking plates they were. Happy Birthday Brian.<\/p>\n

\"PhotoAnother in the wash, a half plate ambrotype.<\/p>\n

\"Photo  So, a very enjoyable weekend. It’s always a pleasure to see the smile on a new wet platers face.<\/p>\n

I’m really looking forward to seeing Elizabeth’s progress now she’s been truly bitten by the wet plate bug. <\/p>\n
