Title: Through the eyes of a tintype photographer
Post by: original_ann on February 21, 2013, 01:16:51 PM

... using a GoCam - from the prep of the plate, to shooting and developing.  Oh the thrill!

Cool! I particularly like the bit where he bumps the GoPro into the LF camera! ;D

Seriously though I think that's one of the best 'how to do a tintype' videos I've seen.

Awesome, yes.  But how much can he sell a tintype for?

So much the antithesis of the click-whiz-bang technology we're so used to seeing today...

egg timer, oil lamp... all those little details!  I agree with what was said about how it makes it easier to envision oneself doing it!  I really, really "get it".  :D

Very nice video.

It's a thrill to see this done in person, and I "hope" to do this in a few months.
I really like the apothecary jars used for the supplies.  Love those!

Thanks for posting Ann!
