Wet plates in a Holga
« on: December 19, 2012, 02:42:28 PM »
Check this amazing stuff out from Ian Ruhter:

Lights, Toy Camera, Action on Vimeo

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

I saw this yesterday through Twitter!!

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.

oh, that was pure pleasure watching. thanks :)

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?

I would love to just be there and watch Ian work. Super inspiring to see him taking wet plate to new levels.

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.
