Dragging my 14x14 inch Chamonix out of mothballs (have not used it for about 13 months). I will make 11x14 inch ambrotypes tomorrow. More of a testing shoot but it will still be fun.
Testing
- old collodion
- shooting in colder weather around 0-2c
- will try putting honey on a plate for the first time (to delay wash time). I will let it sit 2 days before final wash.
- will test new working procedures in the simplified trailer darkroom setup. Am trying to further simplify this often overworked and over thought out process. SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY!!’’
- will try tray development of plate and tray stop water step. Trays might work better and require no water pump in colder weather. My hope is to work down to -25c this winter.
