I took today off because it was my birthday, and this morning spent a couple of hours shooting tintypes. I wanted to work on my technique, as the plates I made on July 4th had issues. This shot of a tree in front of my house came out well. #wetplate #photography #filmphotography https://t.co/edCMpbmnXW

@rlovinger @stribs You two must not follow the people I follow on Twitter. He’s just as dangerous as he was, maybe more so.

@dap6000 @trey Also, you might want to get a UV exposure meter. I have a couple that I got from http://www.lightmeasure.com that work well and make it dead easy to replicate exposures.

@dap6000 @trey I recently bought the LEDs and worked out how to lay them out, but haven’t yet bought the wood to put the box together

@dap6000 @trey Freestyle photo sells pricy exposure boxes using BLB light bulbs that output at roughly 365 nm. Or you can buy LEDs that output that wavelength and build your own box. 365 nm LEDs are more expensive than visible light ones, but you can build a box to cover 11x14 for ~$200

@leahmcelrath I suffered brain fog from a medicine I was taking. It took the form of being unable to understand things I would normally be able to figure out. I went off the medicine for a few days and all of a sudden I could make sense of stuff again.

@danrubin @negative_supply The color temp is what convinced me to back it. Otherwise it’s just an overpriced commodity item. With the color temp, the price seems reasonable.

No matter who wins, the winner will be Germany, because now England will have another target to whine about for the next 50 years.

Just shot my first tintypes at home. Been working toward this for almost four years.

I blogged about how I developed a 90+ year old roll of film that I shot a few weeks ago and actually got photos off it. https://www.thereisnocat.com/showme1005.html https://t.co/FBqzmb36rl

@markjfine I just bought a Secret Jardin grow tent, but it was so I could use it as a portable darkroom for making tintypes, not growing weed
