Full plate (8.5x6.5 inch) collodion glass negative.
I learned quite a bit today. In particular why there are so few equestrian photographs from the late 1800's. If you can keep the horse still for two seconds the rider will move. If the rider is still the horse will move.

Following a horse and rider with 30lb's of tripod, and lens is not for the meek.

    I'm not sure how deliberate your motion blur was, but I love the stylistic lo-fi look, very eerie and Gothic when combined with the composition and B&W.

      The motion blur was unintentional. Due to the process I'm using I had to expose the plate for at least two seconds, so some movement is inevitable. This case is a bit extreme, but I liked it so I didn't wipe the plate immediately.
