wet plate collodion

Very nice! How are you lighting this?

You have an HBH ! Did it come on the camera? What a treasure.

Vic, This is lit with 3 Fotodiox-C1600's.. Very affordable lights and they really put out the UV. They are an array of 16 30 watt spiral fluorescents in a 24x24 soft box. I have two stacked in a Rembrandt position to camera right and one to camera left for fill. I then used a Lowell 600 watt fresnel as a backdrop light. Yes I do have an HBH but it did not come on the camera. The camera is a new C.C. Davis camera which is a replica of a W.H. Lewis 1853 camera. The HBH is a beautiful lens with pristine glass. I feel very fortunate to have found it. The more I use it, the more I like it. Thank you for the kind words. Robert

Would love to operate such a camera and lens once. Nice work this.
