Hi to all - as one who has in the past made his own plates, here is one I made earlier of my late father in law. What you see today as "old photos" in pubs etc are often scans of old pics that have then been played with. This is a part scan of an actual 6" by 4" glass plate I made over thirty years ago when playing around and yes- the flash was magnesium powder. I have converted the negative and added a sepia tone. Its not as clean as it was but it's quite sharp.
