First Selfie Ambrotypes

The fish photo in studio idea bombed, so did some multi exposure selfies. Only tried 5 plates tonight (3 selfies), will do more tomorrow. Starting to get a bit of a feel for the studio stuff. As you can imagine Focus is an issue with the selfie thing, will keep working on it.

Thanks Simon R for your help with this type photo.
