Sid in Repose... Plate 2 of our short time.... 8x10 Tintype shot with Chamonix 8x10 and Dallmeyer 3B. A quiet moment with Sid... Howards's dog "Cusco"was on patrol of the neighborhood as we made this plate.
This was actually shot in grey overcast dappled shade under a tree. The best light really as there is still plenty of UV which collodion is responsive to. Actually, full sun can be too contrasty with collodion. I was using an F3 lens and fresh collodion. Exposures were only in the 1 second range... If I am shooting someone who is a little jittery, I use a headbrace (made from an old cymbal stand).
