Greetings-

Has anybody tried already using flashes in the studio to make a picture on a
dag-plate ?

Marc (Belgium)-

Jerry Spagnoli is the daguerreotypist who is working with Chuck Close in his
new nude portrait series. Jerry is using a bank of strobes totaling 18,000
watt seconds. Quite the little puff of light! (Keep in mind that a dag has
an ASA of .025 - which means that one sets the meter for 25 ASA and
subtracts 10 stops).

Hope this helps.

Jon Bailey
