Tintype Photography Back before film was used for photography, in order take a photo of a landscape or a portrait people used what is called Tintype photography. Tintype photography uses the collodion process (a kind of chemical) which significantly reduces exposure time compared to previous time periods. Before the collodion process older cameras would be around 5-7 minutes of exposure time while the collodion process reduces exposure time to around 5 seconds. The process for tintype photography must be completed in under 20 minutes or the shot would not turn out. The process requires a plate of metal, generally aluminium, that is painted black and is smooth. It begins by pouring collodion on top and then back off leaving a nice layer on the plate. From there you place the plate inside of a tank of silver nitrate which is the chemical compound that then makes it sensitive to light so you can actually capture an image on it.

Enchanted: I like how the sky is so clear and fake looking, because it looks like a weird castle from a fairytale. However, I don't think it fits in with the rest of your photos, which are all dark and very halloween-y.
ReplyDeleteGhoulish: Favorite photo. I like the creepiness of the dark figure.
Chilling: I like how clear and detailed the photo is.
Eerie: I like the ghost-like aspect of it, but I think having the photo a little more in focus (so you could maybe see some details on the face) would have been nice.
Ominous: I like how the black background really makes the photo feel uneasy.
Undead: I like the colors and editing of the photo, because it makes it look old (in a good way).
Strange: I really like how you used the water on the road to create a cool reflection.
Frightening: I like the colors and detail of this photo.
I liked your Ominous, Strange, and Frightening photos a lot. the Ominous and Frightening both had that dark late at night look which gave character to the photos. I liked your strange photo because it was definitely an outside of the box idea. It gave your photos a variety that I liked a lot. Overall, a great job!
