I prefer working in film. And yes it's a matter of status and it's also where the money is these days. I shot some footage 3 months ago and for the shoot the client gave me use of a 70mm Mitchell motion picture camera. I swear I almost had a heart attack when the guy made a
joke that I could keep it.

I was interested in this "technology" but decided to invest my time learning platinum printing instead. Wet plate collodion images all have the same look, platinum printing (like traditional silver-based printing) is way more versatile, IMHO. It's a look, just like HDR is a look. |
Well I've done the google search but it's more of "what's a
good book" as opposed to some sort of slapped together how "for dummies" guide.
I'm actually going to do this for a client. It's the old story of I've never done this but the gig pays well so I lied and said I had done it before. Thanks for the help I'll let you know how it turns out
