Very nice shot, my man. I notice you must have spilled some silver nitrate on your avatar.

Very nice Matt. Flowers appear to be perfect for this medium. You should consider a wet plate "floral" project" and purchase as many different types as you can.

another nice one matt!
I've noticed a recurring set of flow marks on your plates. Not that it detracts but was wondering if you know how they are getting there. They seem to always be on one side flowing on the vertical.

Dinesh, I'll go out right now and buy a huge supply of exotic florals.
Scott, I can't figure it out either. I'm thinking it might be how I'm pouring the developer on. Not sure though. I'm gonna make some more plates today and see if I can figure it out.

nice work!

are you using a tray or an upright bath for your silver bath? i was getting similar lines caused by the silver being in a tray and making a wave as i "chucked" it into the tray. i have gotten better on my throws so now they seem to be a bit better. keep us posted on what you find out.

I think Matt just leans too far to one side ...
