Looks like you are over developing. How long do you have the developer on your plate before washing?

You poor thing. If I didn’t know how it ends I would join you in shedding tears. As you say the real plates are worse than the ones on the photo but that is maybe because they faded even more. You are doing a great job in eliminating the various problems.

What a disappointment! But practice makes perfect, so try, try and try again! Think of all the millions you could put into your new company when you get going after this last bump in the road. Consider what you have done to get this far, so this is really nothing to worry about.

Interesting Ambre I remember years ago when I developed my own photographs, back in the days when we all wore a Canary attached to our hats, that temperature was very important. If I remember correctly 70deg was the optimum but I guess keeping the mixture cool would be your problem. happy New Year to you both

Thanks, Borut! I just read your post on the FB group…hopefully mixing your own chemicals will get you more contrast. I really thought hard about buying premixed, it would have been so much faster and less trouble, but I’ve learned so much about the chemistry by doing it myself (and am still learning).

Great! I love the way you developed your first tintypes. if it’s too perfect it’s no good. this is great. I’m getting far less contrasty images. I7m still learning, the same case as with you.
I’m curios to see how will you grow

Liebe Amber, da ich natürlich überhaupt nichts davon verstehe, kann ich auch keinen klugen reply machen. Aber es sieht sehr professionel aus. Ist ein bisschen altmodische aber wahrscheinlich sehr in! Liebe Grüsse Deine alte Tante Gu

I love it, the tin types, the story line , the explanations and the excitement I can still feel when I think about it. Go Amber Go.
