Exposing and Developing a Dry Plate Collodion
This is just a quick video where I am exposing a dry plate collodion and developing it at Lab.
In this case the plate was underexposed, but using a redeveloping techniques you can achieve a great result.
I hope it will inspires you on doing "handcrafts" photography.
Contact me if you want learn wet and dry collodion processes.

Collodion Tips #1: Albumen solution for subbing a plate
มุมมอง 2.2K4 ปีที่แล้ว
For several reasons collodion film can peeling from the glass support: poor cleaning and polishing, putting the plate into silver bath before the collodion has set properly. Furthermore, subbing the plate is a “must to do” if you are doing a prolonged development like in wet plate negative or dry plate collodion. Here a short video that will helps you on preparing the albumen solution and subbi...

In this video I am going around by van, equipped with darkroom and chemical needed for shooting a unique and genuine ambrotype. I live in Sicily (Italy) and often I get inspired by the beauty of my land. My name is Gianni Cusumano and I do love photography. In this digital age of fast camera and instant photography I jumped back into the eighteen century learning one of the most beautiful photo...

    Hello! What’s the functionality of ammonia on subbing plates? I’m thinking to sub plates for cyanotype on glass. Thanks!

    • @giannicusumano3916

      Ammonia is used to keep "fresh" the albumen solution for days but my suggestion is to use fresh made albumen solution without ammonia.

    Hello. I am a South Korean subscriber. I am new to cyanotype. Can you tell me the recipe?

      The chemicals used are very inexpensive, it would most likely cost more to make them yourself. Here is a link where you can buy cyanotype chemicals: www.jerrysartarama.com/jacquard-cyanotype-products?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImvne7Iqq6wIVB4bICh2qoQobEAQYASABEgL_P_D_BwE

    @Gianni Cusumano after the albumen coating is dry can we sensitize the plate with silver nitrate as we do with paper and then use it as a camera dry plate? Thank you in advance for your answer. Luis.

    • @giannicusumano3916
      @giannicusumano3916 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Luís Conde in this case after the albumen costing is dry I coat the plate with collodion and than sensitize it on silver solution while the plate is still wet. Hope this help

    • @fotolookconde
      @fotolookconde 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@giannicusumano3916 I thought it is possible somehow after sensitised using the plate as dry plate. Is it not possible using albumen, sensitise and save the plate to use let's say on the next day?
