Here's a recipe that tries to emulate wet-plate collodion spectral response and soft early print tonalities.
Black and White Early Negative and Print Techniques recipe ~
Sony "Wet Plate Collodion" (hand rolled)
Picture Profile -
Black level: -15
Gamma: Cine2 <- which opens the shadows a bit more than Movie I used in the black and white recipes
Black Gamma: Middle 0
Knee: Auto, Max Point 100%, Sensitivity High <- to retain tone in the highlights
Color Mode: Black and White
Saturation: 0
Colour Phase: 0
Colour Dept: R+7, G-3, B-7, C , M 0, Y+7 <- blue filter effect where "+" makes a color darker and "-" makes a color lighter
Detail: Level 0
Additional Camera Settings -
variable EV <- depending on scene brightness, using the EVF to confirm overall brightness
AWB
Taking this a small step further, I wanted to confirm that I could vignette the edges and tone the image outside the camera on a computer and retain the proper overall tonalities. As we can see, the blue filter is very harsh on old skin.
