4x5 ambrotype
So after fall's home renovations and then the holiday season, I now get to spend some time in the dark...ahhh...the darkness. I was unsure whether I would have any satisfaction from my old reddened collodion or my wayyy too old developer, but even with the dark rainy Canadian west coast day, I managed to make some shoe portraits. Since no one was home and the dog can't manage to sit still for a whole 90 seconds, it had to be shoes...4x5 ambrotype
taken with a 4x5 speed graphic with a petzval type lens, for 90 seconds, on a very dark and rainy day.

Hi!
I love the picture. I also have a speed graphic and I'd like to do some wet plate collodion process work. I've heard there is a certain danger to your camera - getting chemicals on it. Has this happened to you? Impaired the use of your camera at all? My Speed's not worth much $$ but I'd like to keep it in good shape...
