Nee HDR here, like.
Recently put a website together of my last 4-5 years worth of work created using the Victorian-era wetplate (or wet collodion) technique originating from the 1850s.
Basically involves pouring chemicals onto a metal or glass plat, dipping it into silver nitrate and then developing it, all in the space of 15-20 minutes or less. Which means you need a darkroom to hand - great fun keeping one from blowing away on Tunna Hill.
Some subjects are extra suited to being photographed using this technique:
There's a mix of tintype and ambrotype portraits from the studio and shots taken around Sunderland, plus some stuff done at Tanfield Railway and more. Take a look, if you're into that kind of thing anyway.

Hopefully @Icarebecauseyoudo now believes I do occasionally go out in daylight...
