Bow Lake Shoot

Spent the day yesterday making Ambrotypes at a tourist central Jasper Park view point at Bow Lake. Hundreds of tourists stopping tou photograph the mountains, lake and themselves (mostly themselves). Germans, Koreans, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Americans and Indians. My camera was completely surrounded at times. Had to arrive at 730am to get a spot (left our camping area at 530am).

Did 8x10 clear glass Ambrotypes. First time shooting at 2c, first time shooting in a major tourist area and first time using filters for wet plate. Made 9 plates of two setups. Over a 12 hour period, including set up and take down, a shower, 2 meals and 2 hour nap.
