Computer Controlled Wet Plate Collodion Camera

Vintage camera prototype

This project seeks to create a mechanized version of a vintage camera, in order to prevent over-exposure. According to the makers, 鈥渢his project sets out to create a 16*20 wet plate collodion camera that allows the artist to composite multiple exposures into one plate using an internal CNC controlled second aperture.鈥� The design of the camera is almost the same as other similar cameras, however, a middle standard, made of a TTL (through-the-lens) metering system and a CNC shutter, has been used. This allows for the selective control of which part of the image is retained, and which parts are saved for future use for exposure.
