  • boo, the metal to make tintypes (blackened aluminum) is cheaper if you order alot. Glass can be had from any hardware store or frame store if you are just starting. Ambros are a little harder to clean but the technology / exposure / chemistry is exactly the same for both.

  • @4Firearms dude, I do that for a living. Believe me I know. But imagine, instead of being a digital photographer you get to be an alchemist.

  • I turned up my speakers all the way and can't hear this well enough. Would be great with better sound.

  • @4Firearms Theres zero comparison when your talking a century old process compared to modern digital. Only an complete d bag would print fake digital tintypes from photoshop. Pull your head out of your ass fuckface.

  • That is so cool. It really is like you are an alchemist. I love historical photography and think it so cool that people are still doing it today.

  • boo

  • ambrotype, tintype, which one is more expensive to operate? Like around???

    Thank you,

  • very poor volume

  • @kbtownsend Thanks!

  • @4Firearms yeah, but this is art, not that there's anything wrong with digital or photoshop, but this stuff is allot of fun too. Newer isn't always better.

  • Thank you so much for putting this up! So helpful, would love to try this myself some time soon!
