Therefore the images will exhibit some of the anomalies present in period images:
-drips
-uneven coating
-scratches
-pour marks
-fingerprints
-bubbles
-streaks
-imbedded materials
-blurry subjects

Each plate begins with a clean piece of metal or glass and the plate goes through many hand poured chemical steps before it is complete.

At any time during this process, the chemicals and environment can effect the outcome of the plate. Also, this emulsion is much slower than modern film, and exposure times are anywhere from five to 30 seconds in length, sometimes longer under heavy overcast skies. There will be motion blur with some people. It is natural.

If you look at plates from period photographers you will see the the same imperfections.

I actually think this is a benefit, as each and every plate is unique and can never be reproduced exactly the same way again.

When you receive a wet plate photograph from me, you get more than just a photograph, you get an accurate reproduction of a historical process- a piece of history.
