Wygląda na to, że pierwszy maja tego roku ma być Światowym Dniem Mokrej Płyty 
| http://www.wetplateday.org/ napisał(a): What is a Wet Plate Day? World Wet Plate Day is a time to honor the founder of this process, Frederick Scott Archer, and to celebrate the work of the artists who practice it today. Wet Plate Collodion is the photographic process of pouring Collodion onto a plate of thin iron or glass, then exposing and developing that plate while it's still wet. This process was the primary photographic method from the early 1850s until the late 1880s. It replaced paper negatives/Calotypes (Talbot) and Daguerreotypes (Louis Daguerre). The current revival of the Wet Plate process is due in large part to the ubiquity of digital photography and because of the unique Collodion "signature" and aesthetic. Who We Are and Why We Do This From reenactment tintypes, to still life ambrotypes, to studio portraits, photographers have embraced to the ethereal look, handmade process, and arcane yet simple materials of Wet Plate. Wet plate photographers can be artists, or engineers, or wilderness travelers, or studio operators, or backyard hobbyists. But they all have been deeply impacted by this beautiful technique. Join By making Wet Plate Collodion images on this day, you will share the experience with the 1850s founders, the 1870s portrait artist or traveling tintypist, and today's revivalists. By uploading your favorite plate, your work on that day can be enjoyed by us all. |
Chętnie bym się przyłączył do celebrowania, ale chyba póki co tylko jako tragarz czyjegoś sprzętu
Nie mniej jakby ktoś planował "oblewać" tą okazję, to chętnie podpatrzę Strona projektu:
