Darkroom Printing: Photography Part 3

These are some fresh prints.

https://youtu.be/AQC2WsvHdqw

This one took... a lot. But I'm pretty happy with it! I hope you like it. I've been wanting to share this particular part of the process for a long, long time because it's both fascinating as well as simply wild seeing the print form before your eyes. Of course, this isn't as good as being there in person, but I was pleasantly surprised by what the camera could do.

The rest of the month will be a little more chill. This took a lot out of me, frankly. If I make a main channel video it's gonna be quite simple, but I have a number of things I want to do for Connextras so you definitely will be seeing some of me before Christmas.

Oh, housekeeping stuff: I'm gonna post the script in soon for rough captions so the should be there within an hour or so? And this may go live tomorrow, though I might wait until Saturday. I haven't decided yet. Ok Toodles!

Since you have been focused on the wide topic of film, you might want to dig into optical sound on film.

I have a friend who helped write the Adobe Photoshop competitor Paint Shop Pro. Their approach to editing came from an artist's perspective while Adobe's was photo processing. I kept calling my friend to ask how I could do simple manipulations like dodging and burning, which he had never heard of. But I bet illustrators preferred PSP. I was MUCH MORE comfortable with the tools in Adobe, but not their price. Now I use a club, er, GImP, it isn't good.

"With practice, you'll screw up less often." Applies to just about everything, don't ya think?

Er. I think there’s too much butter on those trays… (Like Travis, I’ll see myself out if that wasn’t actually the reference. Si.)

I did know ~all~ [correction: most. We never did VC filtering, that was new and interesting!] of this stuff back from middle school photography club, but it's nice to see your presentation of it. I spent most of the episode asking whether you were going to cover a certain topic or dodge it, suffice it to say I was pleased that it got some exposure at the end. (I'll see myself out. ;)

Heh, 60Hz humming at ~7:40. Not a sound we hear much over here in Europe :)

Have you experimented with infrared film? I tried it out for my final project in high school photography.

I thumbs-up for train photography. And I'm enjoying this series on film developing and printing--very informative, thank you.

Don Eitner

To paraphrase Adrian, it freakin' makes sense!!! Always wondered how this works :)

I've been using a Lumix G7 for... probably 4 years now? The majority of this channel's existence, for sure. I'm really quite happy with it, though it has a 30 min record limit. For how I work, though, that's no bother. It also can't do 4K60 but I still have mixed feelings about making the jump to 60 Hz

So, that microscope-looking focus tester, is its own focus offset equal to its height off the bottom so it's effectively testing the focus of the surface it's standing on?

Very well explained!

Great video. May I ask what camera you use for your recording?

Professor Kroog

Looking sharp!
