Wet plate is a tricky process. It's expensive and requires a plate to be coated in silver nitrate, and then sensitized, exposed with his truckcamera and then developed all in under less than 15minutes which is generally how long it takes for the plate to dry out. The process was invented in the 1800s and has really faded away due to it's difficulty and cost. It cost's Ruhter $500 to create just one image.
