I posted this link in the Facebook Dry Plate Photography Group. Jason appreciates your feedback, I’m sure. I use his 25ASA dry plate on glass, haven’t tried these, yet.
Thank you for showing this. Do you have any hints on why the emulsion may have peeled off on the first attempt? If it's due to the processing tank, it might apply to similar processes. I was wondering for example why you had put it it in there face-down.
Jason also suggests that the emulsion should face up as it would have swell up during the development and got rub off. Usually for 4x5 or 8x10 film , i would have the emulsion face down as the processor has 2 "fins" on the bottom of the top cover to prevent the film from floating up. on highsight that probably won't happen to the heavier glass. I also think the development temp may have move up by a 2 to 3 degrees after 20 mins and the emulsion is too sensitive to take the temp .
@@AnaloguePT yeah, both sound reasonable. The emulsion of plates is usually several times thicker than on film, and glass plates are definitely too heavy to swim up on the surface of a developer. Also, if there is a significant change in temperature, the glass might not warm up or cool down as fast as the delicate emulsion, which leads to additional tension. Thank you.
Great video & nice result.
Thank you for working out the monobath. Good stuff!
I had no idea J sold coated black glass. Thank you!
still an experimental product so he will broadcast in the Dry Plate photograhers FB group if he has put up some on his webshop.

Thank you. I also spoke to him after my first 2 plates and he given me some advice.
@@AnaloguePT Yes, I’ve reached out to Jason too, always ready to support. See my image in the Facebook Group on Dead Sunflowers.

This is amazing! very interesting product...I want to give this a try. Where can I get the mono bath? I don’t see it on their website
Hi there, there is an option to add on the developer on this page www.pictoriographica.com/store/p17/dryplate_ambrotype.html
@@AnaloguePT oh no, this dry plate is sold out :( will have to stay tuned for it.. but thanks for sharing! Genuinely intrigued by this process.
Yeah as it is still experimental so only limited boxes are pushed out each time. Or u can the regular glass plates.good for printing.
