About the Image(s)

This image is of the Stone Butter Church in the Cowichan Valley Just West of Duncan BC It was built in 1870 and used to about 1880 when a new church was built that was mor central to the settlements in the area. The unique name comes from the fact the builders were paid in butter from the Missions dairy herd. There are many stories associated with this church being haunted, The church is on First Nations land and access is prohibitted unless permission is granted by the First Nations Band. Our Camera club has a presentation from a Victoria Photographer on the wet plate collodion process,, which he is using. This peaked my interest and I dug out an old program I had that simulated old process's a long with other pre=sets. So chose to try it with this image. Still needs work. ISO 200, 155mm, f8, 1/400 second. As a point of interest he had all of the equipment with him and pointed out that when making an exposure his ISO was 1.
