I have always loved the look of wet plate collodian so I looked up different ways to emulate that look using post processing. Here is my first attempt, it's a selfie so try to ignore the hideous subject. Would love ideas and critiques.
I have a collection of tintypes and yes, your processing is pretty good for the era...but the eyes were rarely ever as sharp as yours are, simply because they had to try and hold still for so long for the exposure. So to see one with perfectly sharp eyes is pretty rare!

It's a pity briantammy isn't here - he shoots the real deal and is a master at it.
Wow, just saw some of his stuff and you're not kidding! Lovely work. I would try to post some of my tintypes but they're tiny - smaller in size than a standard playing card - but the detail you can see in them with the aid of a jeweller's loupe is fascinating :-)

Nice. Can you overlay a texture that will make the image look timeworn? You know, surface scratches, stains, etc?

NIK has a bunch of filters that emulate dust, scratches etc nicely.

I've been noticing some visits to my webpage coming from dpc lately and it looks like I found the source. thanks for the complement Johana. I've been too busy to shoot lately (of any type) since recently moving to a new home. Hope to be at it again soon. May even come back to dpc if I can relearn the rules. ;)
