Doing tintypes at Furthemore again this year. by Velantian

This Friday and Saturday I will be doing tintypes at FurTheMore.
You can check my gallery for examples.

I'll be posting on my twitter feed (@velantianqx) with info on exactly where and when I am shooting.

There is no charge, but, if it's a really great plate, I keep it and I may have you sign a model release so that I can use the plate in future shows, otherwise the plate is yours.

If I keep a plate I will give you a chance to sit for another one.

At minimum it takes five minutes to make a plate, then it has to wash for at least another 10 minutes. It has to dry and then be varnished (so it does not get all scratched up by normal handling) You don't have to wait around while all that happens, I'll be around until Sunday afternoon so you'll have time to pick it up later.

My tintype photography at FurTheMore has always been a bit cursed.
The first year I brought the wrong lens (too slow) and my plate holder was giving me fits.
Last year I had chemistry problems.
This year it looks like the weather will be crap.

Doing tintypes at Furthemore again this year.
