Hannavy, John (ed.) (2008) Encyclopedia of nineteenth-century photography: A–I, Volume 1, Taylor & Francis, p. 440 After some deliberation, I asked Bob if he wouldn’t mind turning it into a fully fledged article covering an introduction to the process. My wet plate workshops involve both shooting and processing the plate. All participants need do is show up, and I walk them through the entire process, from coating the plate, setting up the subject, developing the image and varnishing the finished image on the plate.As I mentioned above, the plate can be poured in sunlight but the next step is to sensitize the plate to light by submerging it into a silver nitrate bath. Below is an example of the preparation of a collodion emulsion, from the late 19th century. The language has been adapted to be more modern, and the units of measure have been converted to metric. More often than not, I have found the first shot I take turns out to be the best shot. Often times this is the shot you are taking as a “test” shot for exposure. As collodion is very sensitive to available sunlight changing with time, it will also react very differently if a lens is changed.

All of this was done in a matter of minutes, and some of the steps in (red) safelight conditions, which meant that the photographer had to carry the chemicals and a portable darkroom with him wherever he went. After these steps the plate needed rinsing in fresh water. Finally, the plate was dried and varnished using a varnish made from sandarac, alcohol and lavender oil. Early photographic technique 1867.

You pour the prepared collodion mixture onto your substrate (plate). This can be aluminum, japanned steel, or any number of other surfaces.Collodion is used in the cleaning of optics such as telescope mirrors. The collodion is applied to the surface of the optic, usually in two or more layers. Sometimes a piece of thin cloth is applied between the layers, to hold the collodion together for easy removal. After the collodion dries and forms a solid sheet covering the optic, it is carefully peeled away, taking contamination with it. HOLTERMAN'S PHOTOGRAPHS. (1875, November 9).
