Beautiful!! I am going to try your sealing process with copper tape and solder. Two questions: 1) what are you painting onto the copper tape with a small brush? and 2) what are you using on the finished soldering? Is that some kind of polish? Thank you so much for sharing your amazing process!
That's adhesive copper tape, which is normally used for joining stained glass pieces. It gives you a solderable surface, which wouldn't be possible with just the glass.
Hello I am a subscriber to South Korea. There is no information about collodion wet plate in South Korea. So I want to ask you some questions. I am using a poeboy collodion (Cadmium bromide is not available in South Korea ) The picture is still blurry or the contrast is poor. I'm not sure if it's a silver nitrate issue or a developer issue. Collodion was definitely well made. The developer made it well by adding iron sulfate, acetic acid and ethanol. But the picture is blurry. I am doing an ambro type. Is it a problem with silver nitrate? Specific gravity is exactly 1.07. If the pH of silver nitrate is about 5~6, can the picture be blurry or the contrast is weak?
Hello there! On facebook there are multiple groups ( Collodion bastards, Wet plate collodion photography,...) there are many helpful people that could answer your questions!
