This is a new piece I did last night: a wet plate collodion image on aluminum, 7.5" X 9.25", using Old Workhorse. Camera: Deardorff with the Ektar 12" lens, 2 minutes exposure at f16.

8X10 tintype, Deardorff with the 15" Lerebours et Secretan lens at f5, 110 seconds exposure on Old Workhorse.
I hope you do! Its a completely fascinating process and deeply rewarding. I've never had so much fun with a camera (or two).
I was testing a Brownie 3B box camera as tintype device this afternoon. The results indicate I need to hone the process for this small camera a bit, but this looks very promising.

Wet Plate Collodion image on glass (as negative).
Old Workhorse collodion used, with B&S developer diluted for negative processing. I'm not thrilled with the overall density and contrast (and the uneven development marks), so I need to practice making negatives more. Next time, I made John Coffer's negative collodion and corresponding developer.

I forgot to add two of mine from last week:

This afternoon I had a chance to test a new Collodion I made on the weekend: John Coffer's #7, which is formulated specifically for making glass negatives (which is what this image is from). It definitely has better contrast and greater density than the other Collodions I had used for negatives, so that's good. Not a perfect neg, but a nice first try!.
Shot with my Lerebours et Secretan 15 in f5 lens. Exposure was 60 seconds.

Beautiful images Paul! I would love to do wet plate but it's not something I can easily do here in Japan.
Actually, I thought the leaves at the bottom gave the image a sort of balance; great work!
Me too. Just lovely photography.
agreed,
+3 I agree now, much more natural, dont know what I was thinking.
Excellent work Mr Bardon, dont stop.

exactly what i was thinking !
They are, there is an American photographer outside of Tokyo doing wetplate (Everett Kennedy Brown) that I have been in contact with about doing this process in Japan; unfortunately I need a business license in order to get chemicals directly from the chemical companies. That's not a huge problem, but something that is a little more difficult for me to deal with as I am not married to a Japanese (which most long-term foreigners in Japan are, which helps them with starting businesses and buying property here, not to mention dealing with all the kanji on Japanese forms). The other hurdle I have is that I don't have a dedicated wet darkroom which complicates things, but not overly so. In any event, I have been overworked the last 2 years so haven't been able to spend much time in the darkroom, never mind think about new processes. But hopefully this is something that I can get into more, as work has become more stable (I am now full-time tenured at my university) and I can start focusing on things that are important to me.
Yesterday I received my Intrepid 4X5 Camera - part of the prize package I won for one of my tintypes recently (See: Dead Link Removed Thank you very much Modern Collodion/Intrepid Camera Co/UV Photographics!)
This is the first glass collodion negative I made with the Intrepid, fitted with a 1930s Kodak 5.5" Anastigmat lens (from Blue Moon Camera in PDX). While its not a great negative, it does show some nice texture and demonstrates just how sharp and capable the Anastigmat is!
Coffer's #7 negative collodion used, in conjunction with John's developer for negatives - well seasoned with used developer. The negative was intensified using John Coffer's intensification method, which I must say works beautifully. Exposure was 6 minutes at f6.3
