If working with glass, he has to clean the surface and seal it with egg white, then pour the mixed

Then he inserts it into a silver nitrate solution, which upon exposure would turn dark, with the
collodion solidifying the forms to the plate.
We noted 2 cases of

collodion techniques from the 1860s to capture ravaged glimpses of the landscape of Antietam, site of the bloodiest battlefield of the American Civil War, brooding on the landscape's 'underpinnings of death'.
Shunning the digital age, he is taking his unique images on glass, using an Edwardian camera and a Victorian process known as wet plate

"I think it's the first time an airborne helicopter has been recorded with a wet plate

This included the use of
collodion glue and taping of the incision sites with 3M Micropore tape.
Jack points out that Fenton also toured Britain with his horse-drawn mobile darkroom and would have used the same 'wet
collodion' photographic process which he chose for his Lifeboat Station Project.
Often working with large-format cameras and older techniques such as the wet plate
collodion process, in which the photographer exposes the Mann's editing notes on wedding portrait taken by her father: "He wasn't a very good photographer, so this picture is really just an accident.
A number of post-process coatings to protect the images against environmental effects include coatings and varnishes made with
collodion, shellac, and beeswax.
