Rough scans of collodion dry plates taken at the Yucatan workshop held by Scully and Osterman. These kinds of plates have very high resolution and a lot of Dmax, so are a bit tough to scan properly. When printed with a process they were intended to be used with (e.g., salted paper printing) a lot of the artifacts (e.g., fibers that landed in the varnish while it was drying) will not show up. They will, however show up here. This is the first shot on Day 2, in Aké. The scene was backlit and a challenge to shoot. In addition, I think I got the plate flipped in the holder, ugh. But it's still moody and atmospheric, which is what I was hoping for.
