📸 Tintypes Are Coming to Huntington!
Get ready—Gettysburg’s only legit tintype studio is packing up their chemicals, cameras, and killer vibes and bringing the full 1800s photo experience straight to The Calling Bell for a one day pop-up.
We’re talking authentic Wetplate tintypes (yes, on real metal plates using Civil War-era techniques)
A tintype is a type of photograph made by creating a direct positive image on a thin sheet of metal coated with a dark lacquer or enamel. Popular in the 1860s, tintypes have a moody, vintage look and are made using a wet plate collodion process that captures incredible detail. Each one is completely unique—handcrafted, chemical-based, and developed on the spot. It’s not just a photo, it’s a piece of history.
📷 Want the real-deal metal plate magic? 1/2 size wetplates are $80 and a full size is $100.
And yes, pets are welcome, so bring your familiars.
Let’s get weird. Let’s get ghostly. Let’s get immortalized.
