I haven't posted anything for a while, just because I'm busy.....
I thought I'd show off my new Portable Darkroom for doing wet Plate Collodion in the field. Not my greatest video but I think you'll get the gist!

The basics are a folding camping table, small hydroponics tent and some blackout material (all bought off Amazon relatively cheaply). The whole assembly can be erected in less than 10 minutes and allows me to undertake collodion photography almost anywhere.

This is the 5th iteration of the 'dark box' and continues to evolve as my process and workflow does. The table allows me to work standing up rather than on my knees stooped over and also allows working space for parts of the process that doesn't need to be carried out in the dark. I'll post another video in the future when I can afford a crew to take the pictures....!.
