Seneca Improved View 5x7, Bausch & Lomb 5x7 Tessar 1c f/4.5, New Guy collodion (fresh), Alumitype

f/4.5, 1 second

To get this shot I had to ask the help of a neighboring camper named Vick. I had the camera set and instructed him how to remove and replace the lens cap. He accidentally bumped the camera during exposure. I didn't say anything, of course, I was just grateful for his help. You can barely see the blur on the plate in person.

After I processed the plate I went over and showed him so he could be proud of his handy work. He and his group got a kick out of it which was a pleasure. On the day we were leaving Vick came and asked me to get a picture of his group with his camera and I happily did so. Thanks, Vick!
