POTD - Banjo and Orchids

[mike_thomson]

Pic(s) of the day…

I shot these orchids yesterday.

And my banjo today.

Both plates are 8x10 black glass ambrotypes. I also made a glass negative of the orchids to print them in platinum. Unfortunately, I did not have time this weekend, so I’ll do that during the week and share the results.

I plan on offering some of my plates and prints for sale soon, so if you’re interested in this type of photography, please check out my site: https://mikethomson.net

Cheers!
Mike

You have a great eye for detail Mike. My two daughters have a passion for sepia photos but they are into digital photography.

Good Eye Frank!! i just noticed that too.

[mike_thomson]

No, Since these are direct positive images, they’re reversed.
