Free Bag!

Got this beauty camera bag for free today. Thanks so much Ester. I will use it to hold all my AMBROTOS KANATA, YouTube Channel gear.  The drone, microphones, GoPro cameras etc. Having everything in one bag makes sense

Video: Forest 11x14 and 14x14 Ambros

Going to try to vary the subject matter somewhat this next 3 week trip. But here are some 11x14 (3mm thick clear glass)and 14x14 (4mm thick clear glass). Forest Ambros shot a few weeks back. 

I think the 11x14 Chamonix will be a main camera for the AMBROTOS KANATA project. It has a better size plate than the small 8x10s but is still fairly easy to shoot with. A nice combination!!!

Video: Forest Scene #3, AMBROTOS KANATA

A 14x14 inch, 4mm clear glass ambrotype made 6 week ago. 

Forest Scene #3, AMBROTOS KANATA, David Thompson Highway, Alberta, Canada, 2024

Note* I love these forest scenes but need to expand my series subject matter. 

Window

Was thinking how my WINDOW for making ambrotypes for the AMBROTOS KANATA project, is now! We have such a limited time in this world. Life is a precious gift that does not last forever. I need to use my small window in time to create important imagery, Ambrotypes that will continue to inspire, after my time runs out.

3 Week Trip

 

Supersized Drying Racks

Here is a purchase I received today from Czechia. Drying racks for my wet plate photo project AMBROTOS KANATA. The 2 smaller (now have 3 in this size) are for plates measuring up to 24x24 inches. The larger one is for plates measuring 35x35. I will probably need to buy another 2 in this size in the future. I will use the racks to hold the cleaned plates, to dry the washed completed plates and to use after varnishing.
