My first ever dry plate tintype. To say that I was "pleasantly surprised" is an understatement.
5x4 dry plate shot in MPP with 150mm lens, with a +3 dioptre close-up lens taped behind the rear element.
The plate was 0.5mm aluminium sprayed with black polyurethane paint and coated with Rollei "black magic" emulsion. Exposure 4 sec @ f8. Developed in the following for 3 minutes:
5g Ammonium Thiocyanate
15 ml Rollei RBM5 hardener
30 ml Ilford Multigrade developer
270 ml water
No stop, just a water rinse. Fixed in Ilford Rapid Fixer 1+4 and 10 minute wash in cold water.
The developer was an experiment based on what I could glean from internet newsgroups and the Rockland tintype kit data sheets. My understanding is that the Ammonium Thiocyanate acts as a silver solvent, adding contrast and giving a clearer positive when the silver image is viewed on the black background of the plate.
More coming soon. I plan to do a series of "tin toy tintypes" (I enjoy alliteration).

Closeup of a Royal Palace Prince daylily in my wife’s garden. I was struck by the near edges of the petals. They almost looked like they were made of metal.

Las tijeretas son insectos pertenecientes al orden Dermaptera que se caracterizan por ser principalmente nocturnos, pasando la mayor parte del dÃa escondidos en lugares oscuros como hojarasca, grietas y hendiduras en las casas.
Si bien las tijeretas pueden tener una mala reputación, es importante reconocer su papel en el ecosistema y comprender que, aunque puedan entrar en nuestros hogares de vez en cuando, no representan una amenaza significativa para nuestra salud o seguridad.
I was out most of the day, but stole some of the last rays of sunlight for these pictures. I can't get over how cute she is.
Sometimes you don't need to go looking for the birds - they come to you!!!
I was surprised that this little Red-Browed Finch came so close during a shoot at Hunter Wetlands Centre (Shortland, NSW; Australia) a couple of days ago.
They're usually quite timid and flighty.
I did stay still and in the same spot for a little while capturing a White-cheeked Honeyeater (see previous post!); so he might have got used to me being there!
My 500mm f4L IS lens was tested in its close focusing ability - it is rated at 4.5m / 14.8 ft.
This bird must have been 14.8ft from the end of the lens!!!
You can see just how narrow the DOF is at this aperture this close!
Hope you like it!!
Thanks for any comments, views or favorites -much appreciated!!
Have a wonderful day and week ahead!!
