First Collodion demo at UCA

We ran the first wet-plate collodion demo day at UCA on Monday 9th March.  I'll update this into a full report later (the event was massively oversubscribed so we're doing it all again next week) but meantime here are the images made by those who took part. Thanks to you all for your enthusiasm and entering into the spirit of the portraits so well. Special thanks to Annie for bringing such good props!

These are all quarter-plate ambrotypes (collodion on glass) at exposures of between 20 and 80 seconds...

Everybody entered into the spirit of the thing!

Dave has officially the Best Beard For WetPlate in UCA.

I'll make high definition scans available to you all and once we've exhibited the original ambrotypes in an exhibition in G30 you can all keep your portraits.  - Peter.

Don't forget to see the Demo 2 pictures from 19th March too!
