Last week I was lucky enough to join other fellow wet plate photographers out to the Anza Borrego desert to do some wet plate tintypes and some negatives.
 5x7 Tintype. 1 second exposure. |  5x7 Tintype. 1 second exposure. |
Upon arriving in the desert I quickly found out that my plate holder lock broke, so of course it was fixed with a piece of tape. But with that happening I noticed that my camera had a big light leak problem, so I was mostly able to do two plates.
It was also my first experience of doing tray developing instead of hand pouring onto the plate. I for sure can say that I'm in need of practice to do this hand and finger motion a couple of times before posting any work using this technique.

Got to meet Shelob while out on his evening stroll.
