Tintype

I went down to my friend's place to see his latest project of tintype photography on Saturday.

He showed me the whole process, which, I thought, was very interesting. However, the chemistry behind preparing wet plates and developing images in baths of magic potions looked to be very intricate and awfully demanding. 

Anyway here are some photos I took on my Canon DSLR, which is much simpler and more dependable compared to the archaically artistic method of tintype. Not to mention, there is no chance of me passing out from spending an hour in a small processing room filled with those strangely smelling liquid.
