It’s the 11th hour – it’s almost here.
Until then, please enjoy this tintype photo taken recently by David Norbut
Wet plate collodion, invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the early 1850s, requires coating glass or metal with collodion, sensitizing it in silver nitrate, and immediately developing the image while the plate was still wet. This process, known for its detailed images, is used for ambrotypes and tintypes.
