Basic Collodion Technique: Ambrotype & Tintype

by Mark Osterman & France Scully Osterman

This is the 2023 edition of Basic Collodion Technique, the starting place for many photographers embarking on their journey into historical processes. Originally sold as "The Wet Plate Process" and updated frequently over the last 30 years, there is always more to learn for even the most seasoned wet-plate purveyors.

The updated manual includes info on everything to get started with wet-plate collodion, including equipment, supplies, sources, formulas, and (more importantly) the theory to modify them for specific working conditions.

Think of this as the difference between learning a few phrases of a language and the grammar to construct any sentence you want.

This version is 56 pages in a softcover, has more basic theory, and includes a valuable trouble shooting section titled “Out of the Fog”, that is worth the purchase price alone!

Included is a color chart which shows how colors photograph using the collodion process.
