First Selfie Ambrotypes

 

The fish photo in studio idea bombed, so did some multi exposure selfies. Only tried 5 plates (3 selfies) tonight, will do more tomorrow. Starting to get a bit of a feel for the studio stuff. As you can imagine Focus is an issue with the selfie thing, will keep working on it.

Thanks Simon R for your help with this type photo.
300mm Nikkor Lens, F 11 and F11.5, 1 shot of the flash for each headshot at 4800w. G Collodion, Standard developer. Sodium Thiosulfate fix at about 35%. 8X10 clear glass ambrotype.
 
F11, 4800 W longer bellows (closer focus)
F11.5. 4800W
