English text:<\/strong><\/p>\n The answer to the question when the size matters is not easy. I of course mean the size of a photograph \ud83d\ude42 More precisely said the plate size for making collodion positives and negatives. The reason why I have bought a camera with larger plate dimension than 18×24 cm is simple – I started to work with negatives and contact prints. The contact prints are in the same size like the negatives.<\/p>\n Originally I started taking photos on collodion with the medium format Hasselblad. But who will try the size of bigger negatives is then difficult to return back. Therefore, in my current work, I prefer larger format than 6×6 cm plate.<\/p>\n With larger sizes increase the costs rapidly. The plate 6×6 cm is 36 cm2, by the format 24×30 cm has the plates its respectable 720 cm2.<\/p>\n Some time ago I played with the idea of building a camera 25×25 „, this means 63.5 x 63.5 cm.\u00a0But now I am trying to focus more on image content than deal with the size.<\/p>\n I have read somewhere that in a larger size\u00a0you\u00a0can discover something „special“ and so you can enrich your inspiration for your next creations. But so far I am staying with my feet on the ground and focus more on the content.
\nAfter nearly four years of my practice with wet collodion plates, I gradually moved to a larger size. Currently (01\/03 2015) I start to play with the size 24×30 cm.<\/p>\n
\nWhen will come a feeling that my content 24×30 cm would be interesting in larger plate size then I will consider to try an other dimenstion.<\/p>\n
\nLike Southworth and Hawes masters said: „Quality over quantity „.<\/p>\n
