just completed this one today- Whole Plate Daguerreotype-
Dallmeyer 3A , 1minute exposure using 1 450watt cfl with a softbox and a mole richardson solar spot. Plate buffed with random orbital only with rouge and then lamp black on medium speed. Iodine at 7 minutes to sepia/rose color, bromine at 2 minutes and then back over the iodine for 4 minutes. My boxes do not fume a whole plate very well and there was a definite hotspot over the first iodine but is not that obvious in the final image. This was scanned using the insert for the mercury pot to leave an airspace on the scanner bed. Looks like the glass was not very clean
