My first Ambrotype and the first image taken with the camera
that I built using the Darlot lens.
The plate was made at John Coffers.
It was a cool day around 60 degrees. The light was bright sun. The Darlot lens proved to
be so fast that the exposure was less that 1 second. I will be constructing some
waterhouse stops for it soon. This by the way is the wagon, minus its top, that John
traveled the country in.
This is a tintype I did of John. Taken in open shade with Johns camera
with Harrison lens. Exposure was about 5 seconds.
