Watch me make the tintype plate I wanted to make while panning a drift car with my large format camera at the @mbdriftseries event at @rockinghamspeedway. Tintypes are one-of-a-kind positive images on metal (no negatives and no prints unless digitally scanned).

I had to shoot this at 1/8s f/5.6 ISO 2 because the Sun was setting. No auto anything! All me, hand-eye coordination, and a don’t tell me what’s impossible! I don’t think I ever tell myself I shouldn’t be doing something, I’m going to find a way. Also, for future attempts I have (even with a rickety tripod!) And fyi I purchased a better tripod (@reallyrightstuff ftw!) but I’d say I made this one work!

This was maybe the second or third attempt on my first day of trying this type of photography. I did not expect to nail it this hard y’all!

Drifter: @b_slidin_ (who is the brother of the black car from the viral video!)

Shout out to @phennecphoto @prozatch @mbdriftseries for the opportunity to try the impossible.

Plates: @zebra_dry_plates dry plate tintypes
Chemistry: @zoneimagingltd used my home dark room for this one. I didn’t have a chance to develop this in the historic NASCAR dark room on site, sadly.
Equipment: 8x10 @intrepidcamera reduced to 4x5.
