Lights, Toy Camera, Action on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/55837466)

I love how this guy thinks! Hand held wet plate shots? Nutty.

I mentioned this to a friend, and she suggested we do this instead. I have two of these, so I'll probably try it with one of them.

so collodion huh... what if I took shots on unpainted glass? I could put it on a black background and see the shot nicely and still make contact copies with it, right?

Post by: gary m on December 19, 2012, 08:44:46 PM: In issue 5, 2007, of Light Leaks magazine there is an article on how to shoot wet plates in a Holga. Photographer Michael Pavlov wrote the piece. I got to see Gayles wet plate Holga pic this past year at Krappy Kamera in NY. I believe she converted a Holga 120 Pinhole Pano if I am not mistaken.
