You can see the progression of some of the images here, from a plate needing fixing, to the plate in a water bath, to the finished look, with the reverse sheen of the glass and the collodion covered by asphaltum.
Note* The still digi images, never do justice to the true memorizing beauty of a see through, clear class ambrotype!
Note** The originals have a less reddish tone to them more a black/brown look.
