Before watching this I thought ILFORD was a cheap/ questionable company , now that I know Ilford’s story I am know more inspired to shoot only on Ilford film love this documentary.❤❤❤❤
0:34 what I see there is more detail in the hair and less max density. But when you toned it I didn't see that difference. Can't see that 0:34 occurring from dry down of your demo either. Do you agree there is a difference? I'm experimenting with in camera Harman positive paper and even very underexposed do have a surprising amount of detail in them when back lit. So if the toner has the results at 0:34 that might bring up the shadow detail on an 'average exposure' print. But if it goes the way of the demo it won't. I don't have a darkroom to preflash so looking at alternatives. I have a tiny space with just enough room for three small trays and safelight. Maybe I should be looking to something that has a bleach step and develop the density by eye?
Whatever happened to him? He deleted his IG and pretty disappeared from the face of the earth.. I miss his random short clips of everyday happenings on the street.
Can I use a pack of medicine to develop two rolls of 120 film? I have a JOBO1520, which can install two rolls of 120 film at the same time. Can I use a pack of medicine to process them at the same time?
Give it a try and let us know what you think. Although, if you've darkroom printed traditionally in the past you may be best just getting a small pack of the MULTIGRADE paper and printing with that to start with
I've just bought the B/W film development starter kit, and developed my first roll of HP5... beside the awful quality of the Paterson plastic moulds (the Squeegee that I had to buy separately almost seemed split in half and almost all the Becher had really sharp or chipped edges, only the tank is decently refined) it was a very very fun thing to do! The only problem now is that the labs near me ask for more than I pad the roll and the chemicals to scan the film 😂but it's still an extremely fun thing to do! Too bad the "Simplicity" pack is way too expensive to be worth it, so I have to pile up a few rolls and then buy bigger bottles of chemicals so they don't expire...
My favorite B&W film is actually Kodak TMAX 100. Second to that is Ilford Delta 100. While both Kodak and Ilford have had to raise price as the market for film decreases, Ilford has been much kinder to the user community than Kodak. I have shifted my main B&W film to Delta to ensure that Ilford gets the continued support that it needs. While I use XTOL for developer I use Ilford Rapid Fix for my fixer. For everyday photography I use Harman Kentmere films both 100 and 400. I find this a very fine film for a great price. I currently bulk load Delta 100 and Kentmere 400. Can't say enough good things about the support that Haman/Ilford provides to the community. I loved seeing the "behind the scenes" view of the factory.
It is really a helpful video for use of Direct positive paper. I enjoyed and got idea to some extent. However I would like to know " What chemical did you use to dip the positive paper in the tray before you got the final print out ?
15 years old and I just made my first print in my home darkroom with the help of this brilliant video! I don't think I can go back to digital, that first sight of the image appearing on the paper is just magical and it should never be a lost art.
My son is taking media courses at CSUN and takes occasional trips out to Jason's photo store in Eagle Rock. Yesterday Jason gave him a cable release, no charge. Reminds me of my own younger days taking B&W photos and processing them in our makeshift darkroom.
