I am always amazed by the quality of wet collodion glass negatives.
Look at this contrast - going to print this one very soon…

Had the opportunity to pour the first outdoor plates of the year just north of Berlin. Chemicals were a bit struggling, my hands were freezing but the light was so great.

It's January 16th and the sky is grey, so I am looking forward to more sunlight and higher temperatures to go out again. Right now I would freeze off my fingers... 🥶

Eigentlich arbeite ich lieber mit Dauerlicht, denn die Stille und Konzentration macht etwas mit Menschen.
Letzte Woche war die Mai zu einem Workshop bei mir und wir haben mit Blitzlicht fotografiert, also viel Schärfe und Kontrast.

The best darkroom is the one that smiles back at you. 🙃

Here you see a glass plate coated with collodion is sensitizing in a tray filled with silver nitrate.

Diesen Samstag endet die Gruppenausstellung "Im Sog des Waldes" in der Fotogalerie Friedrichshain in #Berlin und ich darf eine kleine Diashow über den Wald in der Anfangszeit der Fotografie halten.
Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ihr vorbeischaut.

Marc‘s collodion wetplate glass negative.

The details are amazing with this photographic process discovered in the 1850ies.
The wetplate collodion process was the technique that enabled the distribution of photography, because one could copy photographs on paper.
