When my film "American Tintype"(NOT my film but the film I was in) was on petapix,I was amazed that people have time to waste on being mean trolls and for what gain to them?.Ian is getting the same treatment just for showing people an easy way to do WP.

I agree, by your 3rd plate it's no big deal. don't practice just do it. Buy Coffers manual and you're on it.

yea Chris you should dig some trenches and earth works for those sheep to climb around. The let groups come over to be documented. Have a great shoot this weekend.

sorry I don't have a reel for that. As I understand it, pre "pan" films fog less than pan film so your luck might hold.

You're welcome Ray. Any idea who they are? I feel like they are guys just home just after the war. They are smiling a lot, Maybe somewhere in NYC or NJ? That was fun.

After 2 snip test, nothing showing. I still have 95% of the roll to process.On monday I have 2 more possibilities to try. The good news is the fogging is minimal. There is still hope to get something.
