In the past, I first shot with a quick clear collodion ready mixed from John Brewer which is an excellent starter recipe which gives great results, then last year when at Coffers Jamboree, I shot with his Old Workhorse and produced some of my best plates ever. This year at the European weekend I shot with a different Old Workhorse and Lea Landscape no.7 recipe (which is real good) supplied by Mamut Photo in the Czech Republic.<\/p>\n

So I guess its about time I started mixing my own, so lets start easy with the Poe Boy recipe. This doesnt use any extra ether and only two salts, Potassium Iodide and Potassium Bromide.<\/p>\n

I’d done John a small favour so he supplied me with some plain collodion, I already had the salts and IDA etc.<\/p>\n

Heres the recipe I used from Coffers website as a pdf from his Mythbusters section. Click here<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cPoe Boy Collodion\u201d
\n240 ml plain Collodion
\n300 ml Denatured Alcohol
\n6 ml Distilled Water
\n3 grams Potassium Bromide
\n5 grams Potassium Iodide<\/p>\n

Just Collodion and IDA.
\n\"PoeBoy1\"<\/p>\n

Dropped the salts in…
\n\"PoeBoy2\"<\/p>\n

A quick swish around and leave to settle…
\n\"PoeBoy3\"<\/p>\n

The first salt dissolved easy enough, the second took quite a bit longer and needed a little heat applied.<\/p>\n

On leaving the studio at lunchtime the mixture had turned a nice yellowy colour, I hope thats okay? You can speed up the maturity by adding a couple of drops of Tincture of Iodine. I didn’t have any so will just leave it to brew and settle. I’ll then decant the finished product hopefully on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
