Well after much hope and many requests over many years, I got to shoot wet plate images at the plant today. The plant where I have been a security guard for 28 years. Here are the results of day 1. I shot 14x14 inch plates using m new 360mm F4.5 Scheider Xenar Lens.
I sweat like crazy all day. Drank 6 2-liter bottles of water and still was very dehydrated by the end of the day.
