I'm wondering if anyone on the list has used wet-plate collodion with
artificial light-- either hot lights or strobe. Since daylight exposures
range from, let's say, 4 sec. to 15 sec., what would a hot light exposure be?
I guess with strobe you could use several pops with the lens open, etc.
Now that I think of it, can anyone give me wet-plate exposure guidelines for
natural light? As I understand it, a light meter is not really useful with
collodion, but a starting point might be an ISO of 1. Also, the sensitized
collodion seems to vary widely from batch to batch, or as it ages. Any
thoughts?
Folks seem to say that the only way to judge exposure is by "trial and
error," but that's both time wasting and expensive.
