First tests done in the studio, overexposed, over lit.
Forget the image, these are just tests to get fluid and familiar with the chemicals and the lights and camera equipment.
It took 6 months of purchasing chemicals and camera building and getting camera kit and glass etc. Also took 6 months to build and organise a fully working wet plate collodion and film developing darkroom.
These images are chronicled to share with others, how it started out and the mistakes that get made.
