Today's Wet Plate

from Facebook...

First attempt of the day a guessed 20 second exposure with the Graflex and f5.6 lens. The white trailer with white hard to see. Will now try a 15 second exposure. Looking forward to getting on the road and making real photos, this practice stuff, photo thing, sorta sucks. The wet plate process remains a joy thou. Temp of chemicals, trailer and outside around 15C.

Going pretty well today. Here is the 4th image of the day. Photo of dads Deardorff inside the trailer. http://gerryyaum.blogspot.com/2014/05/darkroom.html

Fixer video of dads Deardorff photo. Was able to wipe off the scum (veiling?) on the photo with a cotton ball.
