This month, as part of a temporary exhibit of Atlanta's Civil War History, approximately 5 minutes of 3D collodion images made by Civil War photographer George N. Barnard are available for viewing in a special video presentation. The video presentation is located in the Nicholson Gallery at the Atlanta History Center (not the permanent Civil War Exhibit). These 3D images were made using the collodion wet plate process on an 8x10 size field view camera. Though regarded an antique process today, in its day during the Civil War era, the collodion process was the cutting edge photographic technology. Exposures were made onto glass plates coated with a silver nitrate laden collodion solution which ultimately produced vivid and highly detailed images. Even today, the collodion process rivals any silver based process for fineness of grain, resolution of fine detail, and glowing translucent images.
In recent years the wet plate collodion process has made a major come back in the world of fine art photography. Championed by photographers such as Sally Mann, France Scully and Mark Osterman, Quinn Jackson, William Dunaway, John Coffer, Robert Szabo and a countless army of photographers around the globe, wet plate has been endorsed as an anathema to the age of instantaneous digital photography. Discounted as just another romantic involvement with historic processes by some critics and contemporary photographers, modern practitioners of the process such as Jody Ake demonstrate with his wet plate work, collodion is fully capable of being used creatively for contemporary themes.
Barnard's views of Atlanta are historic and beautiful. Take the time to catch this significant exhibit. The 3D Atlanta portrait sitting of General Sherman is reported by several visitors to be genuinely unique; "Wow!" being the first word to be uttered by most visitors when the 3D images appear on screen.
