December3.2021 (Sweet Peas in Parfum bottle found in the river)

            This is a technical exercise - making a wet plate collodion negative, redeveloping it to obtain a VERY contrasty negative appropriate for Salt Printing.  Its got a rich tonal scale, thanks to the light quality, but the shadows are quite open and the brightest values are very dense. I will print it on salted paper and see how it does.
(This is from a scan, not a print. I haven't yet printed it)

Burke & James 5x7 camera with the f3.5 Voigtlander Petzval lens, wide open. 
2.3 minutes exposure on Quinn's recipe for negatives. Redeveloped for 5 minutes with the Pyro redeveloper.
