- Welcome to another photo technique video. This time we're looking at my technique for producing Dry Plate Positive Orotone's on Glass.
Dry plate photography has been around for a long time and is usually done with a large format camera and glass plates producing a negative image. I wanted to produce a positive image and display the glass plate as the finished artwork. This involved 'reverse' processing which can be very difficult to achieve so I created this contact printing technique working from a digital negative.
Orotone images are basically any image that has a yellowish colour (gold, bronze, copper etc;) and is therefor more of a process than a technique. Hopefully you will enjoy and I apologise to any purists out there that think I'm nuts!
Dry plates were obtained from Zebra zebradryplates.com/zebra-dry-... `and were 'whole plate' (8.5" x 6.5").

Interesting - very interesting. Thank you.
Great Tom thanks for sharing. Keep them coming :)
Now I understand.
Fantastic, I love the process. Great video buddy, keep them coming!
Just wanted to thank you again.
Wow, I've only just found this. Thank you. I have been using OHP film to produce orotones and using gold leaf on the back but I have experience using zebra plates in my 4x5 camera so I will give this a go with a digital negative. Thank you for sharing the technique!
Great video! Thank you. 👍👍👍
Lovely Tom. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Lovely Work Tom. 👍🏼👍🏼
Excellent Tom, you do need a steady hand, and the gold finish on the image perfect.
Excellent video! Thanks. Could I ask the formula for the Polaroid b72? All I can find is solid pieces that need to be liquefied. Also, do you use Museum Glass? Thanks.
Just Great!
How did you set your exposure time?
Tom I don't have large negatives to contact print, could I use my enlarger? Perhaps change the bulb to a daylight bulb?
