First Day Of Shooting In Campground At Prince Albert National Park (Update From September 22)

Spent 6 hours struggling with a fog on the plates (first pic). I initially thought it was over exposure. then a leaky plate holder, eventually I followed the advice of two online teachers (Luther and Dale) and switched out the vinegar developer to a straight Glacial Acid mix. That cured the issue. Some nice plates coming, happy now. Thanks L&D.

Good to be able to figure out the problem, a small step forward there.!

Like the contrast on these, much better

Temp and humidity in the trailer, both very important for wet plate imagery
