o.o wow, you're great
Keep up the good work luke
Thought I should post in here, perhaps.
It's of special interest to this forum owing to the type of photography I work with; specifically the wet-plate process, ambrotypes and tintypes of 1850/1860.
Here are four tintypes from earlier in the month, made them for my Grandaddy's birthday. Oh, and yours truly at work.
If you're in the United Kingdom and interested, feel free to send a PM and I'll see what I can do for you.
That's too cool, Leifr! Would be awesome to see you having a go at photographing some reenactors.
Not a fan of ginger beer though - yuck!

Cheers Trusty.
It's on my agenda for next year when the warmer months roll in again. I'll be looking to travel the historical fairs and reenactments in period clothing and with period equipment! I'd like to reiterate that this is exactly the same process as it was one hundred and fifty years ago. Pretty much every image one may look at of the American Civil War (and civilian life either side of the conflict) will be produced originally either on tin or glass negative (for reprinting). I recently traveled to West Virgina to stay with a friend for a few weeks and had the opportunity to visit Antietam and Harper's Ferry (among others), it shouldn't have to be said but I think I'll be staying around these forums quite a lot from now on - utterly in love with anything and everything from the mid nineteenth century.
Oh, and come over to the UK next year and I'll happily oblige yourself (and your dev team!) with some tintypes to keep for yours and yours truly.
could you do the weird over saturated false colour they had?
