February 24 2008

Shot on expired Polaroid Type 79 film. I have been reading about wet plate collodion photography and
that made me want to get out the view camera. I have a box of fresh Type 79 on the way. These were
just quick shots before they had to go to bed. Light is a single Alien Bee AB-400 to camera left and
a silver reflector on camera right. I'll set up two lights next time.

The originals have a lot more depth to them than the scans. There's nothing like a nice large format
print.

Shen-Hao HZX-45IIA ,Nikkor-W 150mm f/5.6
1/60s f/11.0 at 150.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The real thing is much better than simulation. It's like listening to vinyl. Great shot also. I wish I can see how the kids develop ... and you!
