Description
Collodion Wet Plate Photography is a Negative photograph on glass made by the wet plate collodion process. The ambrotype was introduced in the 1850s.
The Process : One side of a clean glass plate is coated with a thin layer of iodized collodion, then dipped in a silver nitrate solution. The plate is exposed in the camera while still wet. Exposure times varied from five to sixty seconds or more depending on the brightness of the lighting and the speed of the camera lens. The glass plate is then developed and fixed. The resulting negative is then contact printed on photographic paper in the darkroom or viewed against a black background.
The size of the negative is 10cm x 15 cm and can be scanned or the print made from the negative can be manipulated and then scanned. The camera that is used is an original 1889 Lancaster Instantograh Half Plate View Camera
