I have been obsessed with the wet plate collodion process since I first heard of it.
So when my wife and I visited Vienna (Austria) we spent a day out of the city to do a collaboration with one of the best Wet plate Photographers in the world.
We had a lot of fun and I​ am even more passionate by this technic after that amazing day.

Shooting with an Extraordinary 150 Year-old Wet Plate Camera

[NatesFilmTutorials]

Back then not only where you a photographer, but also a chemist

[Becksi]

150 years old but still a better Image quality then instax today.

[GetOutsideYourself]

And here I am complaining when eye-AF doesn't work instantly.

[miladghasemi]

This is one of the coolest photography videos I've ever seen on youtube.

[mhaustria]

Thanks for visiting and the great time we had! Don't be scared from some fire or a ding ;)

[timonsolus]

Markus is so cool for preserving these ancient photography skills for future generations. I hope he has an apprentice, or finds one!

[Dosteyboi]

back when photography was more like chemistry.

imagine you have to study chemistry to take pictures.

[Quetzalcoatl]

Photography before the 1900s was more chemistry and science :D.
Amazing shots!

[jaydevsingh]

Just imagine you have a modern camera with that big sensor

[danialxiv]

when this 150-year-old camera style captures a way better graphic than your $250 camera

My granddad had an antique portrait camera and he did wet plate photography in the 1920s with it. He took it out when he was in his 80s (and I a teen) and started again for several years, before he died. He sold the camera (i have no idea what is was) towards the end of his life. He taught me how to make and develop the plates and I learned to use the camera too. This summer I am a retiring and I want to do this again.

[IreneRudnyk]

Absolutely amazing!! I can't wait to shoot some wet plate myself :)

[kamalkumarsau]

When he said safety is number one priority -crh😂😂😂

[arielelijah]

It shoot not just point and shoot but a big responsibility because my family friend operates on the dark room died from cancer because of the the chemicals she was exposed. This type of photography shoots not just raw format or unprocessed JPEGS but REAL RAW PHOTO and I appreciate it.

[RIPbiker]

To say this is extraordinary is an understatement. The process involved in getting these photos gives you a genuine appreciation of what photography actually is. It's taken for granted with all these phones, but true photography, the art and process of painting with light, is alive and well and this video demonstrates it so well.

[Bluelilly]

What a gift it would be to be these 2 men's apprentice.

[praneelpathak]

The inventor of camera was actually an author. Photography+chemistry+author, close to a polymath

[jacopoabbruscato]

Amazing. Collodion has that unique look that just can't be reproduced in any way.

[amaliakomperda]

This is absolutely the coolest gift you could give someone.

[NickGranville]

As cool as this is I am glad for having digital photography these days.
