Wet plate collodion is generally
Wet plate collodion is generally considered to be the hardest photographic process to master, and one of the most expensive. But what if there was a half way house? Some means of achieving similar results, but without all the fiddling around with mobile darkrooms and rushing around with activated plates?
That's what Nejc from Zebra Dry Plates has tried to create here. A mens of achieving similar results, but with dry plates, that arrive dry, don't need to be kept wet, and can sit in a plate holder for a good while.
Are the results the same as wet plates? I'm not actually qualified to answer that, I've never seen wet plate done in front of me... but the results from these dry plate tin types are definitely interesting.
Now, as always, I mainly screwed it all up, but I got some images and they're interesting.
I'll definitely be trying it again. Mainly just to get a chance to do it right. And also because I now have a potentially inexhaustible supply of ammonium thiocyanate. Will it be something I come back to in the future? Who knows.
What do you think? Of the results, and the process, and the product?
I for one am happy that people like Nejc are out there, innovating and offering new and different products for us to try. So thank you Zebra Dry Plates for that!
