I came across Bill Hao's work in this suggested youtube video; he's shooting with a home made 32"x48" wet plate camera. He seems to be a flying under the radar as I haven't seen mention of him anywhere else. The small screenshots he posts are quite dynamic. It's impressive if nothing else, it takes a lot to make a 20x24 camera look small and portable!

Good Heavens.!
There is a camera one does not see everyday.
Photographers engaged in that stuff are interesting to say the least :smile:

It is impressive that he seems to deal with that monster all by himself.

Looks like he's having fun. A remarkably simple setup. Wonder is he has to hold his breath during an exposure? The tiniest breeze would seem llike it would vibrate the rig. But he probably saved $30,000 and 75 lbs of carry weight building it that way by himself.
