    wow .75 iso , no wonder it needs extended exposure, curious if the size of the camera effects the time of the shot. ie larger aperture.

    Thank you so much for this video! Taking modern photographs with historically accurate processes is so fascinating!

    Not the it ones, go to Gettysburg! That's how they do it there and it is $20.

    Wow…the guy in the glasses has a TON of makeup on. Damn!

    Ultra modern studio with the latest lighting system and using old fashioned tin plate.
    It's like using a steam engine as a power source for a mobile phone.
    Or using ultra modern tools to make a 17th century style cabinet, i prefer to keep everything authentic

    So cool. Great video!

    He looked a little miffed that you didn't want to pay for your tintype. You guys owe him 120 bucks. Did you ever go back and get them?

    Can you tell the cameraman to stop crash-zooming and hold the camera more steady.
    That MTV style moving cam is so distracting. Just show us the things of a quiet subject calmly and don't try to make it more interesting by overly moving

    I just love it – What a process and beautiful prints

    I like the fact that he has a ring light connected to his SINAR F series camera.

    Although this was uploaded in 2012, he was then as now not anywhere near the only studio that does this. There are around a thousand serious wet plate photographers today. It is becoming my premier service in my photography business.
    It is the most rewarding process I have learned.
    I started in film in the 70s and moved to digital in the 21st century. As time passed I took and interest in wet plate and am now a collodion junkie.

    This photographer is great. Clearly explained everything…great artist

    Good work! Thats a pity you finish your work with digital print. What about to go for a larger mormat and then do contact copy with Van Dyke or cyanotype process?:) That's what I plan to build in Czech rep.

  16. Victorian Photography Studio in gettysburg PA allows anyone to come in to the shop and get a tintype or ambrotype done as well.

    only $60! Well worth it

    so awesome. and comprehensive!!

    It's a shame they can't be drum scanned. I have an 8000dpi drum scanner and my b&w 4×5 negatives are the equivalent of 1gigapixel. Obviously, resolution isn't everything but it does help to resolve the fantastically smooth tonal transitions you get from 4×5. The tonal transitions and sharpness of wet plate is even better than negative in some ways.

    Wow, I'd go to SF just to do this. Amazing stuff!
