River Bottle and Seeds

This kind of imagery doesn't always appeal to me (which probably says more about me than it does the genre), but this one has plenty of aesthetic interest. Nice work, Paul.

@Ken Bingham thanks very much, Ken!

Nice but you should get some Windex on the window, only joking, love the gritty look. Needs a little spider web.

This is fabulous, nice job! 80 sec exposure, neat. How did you know what exposure to use?

@Kodachromeguy Two things: experience with these materials suggested a starting point, which was between 60 and 120 seconds and secondly, I made an initial test plate of 60 seconds before this final plate, as a "test strip", in which I determine how close my initial guess was. A light meter isn't very useful in wet plate work - its much better to learn to guess based on prior experience. Thanks for asking this question!
