8x10 ruby glass ambrotype 4 seconds exposure, 210mm lens @ f/5.6 (collodion rated about ISO 0.7) The glass is red and translucent.

Slowly getting better. Two steps forward, one and half steps back it seems. All I really need to get on top of is the flow...

I don't think you'll miss that digital tilt shift lens since you've got the large format toys to cover all those bases, nathan

Yeah I would love to play with 12x20. It's such a gorgeous format for landscapes. Looking forward to seeing your 11x14 build. Maybe one day I can talk you into commissioning a stupidly big camera for me...
