ABOUT
In this video I am "hopefully" answering those that have asked me in the past how to Dodge & Burn in the Darkroom and knowing when to do so.
At least this is my way and if it helps others, or you can take something from the video then great.
There are also many other videos online showing this technique that you can learn from also.
ABOUT MY VIDEOS
If my videos inspire, create ideas and help others in film photography and darkroom work then it's worth making them.
I always welcome comments that are useful towards the video subject that will help others understand the process within.
Keep shooting and thanks for watching.

I loved the utmost sophistication and complexity behind the very concept of "Vignetting the shit out of it"

Thank you for this, it reminds me of my early days at photography school back in 1996.. I still have my darkroom packed up, no space for it.. I miss the feeling of hand printing and retouching the negatives and prints by hand. Enjoy it man..

Glad I found your channel, I'm about to set up a darkroom for my M601 durst enlarger that was given to me by a co-worker. Of course I need to find an enlarger for my 4x5 negatives. Hopefully once I get going I'll be able to also make darkroom videos to go along with my field videos.

Super useful. Nice. "Vignetting the shit out of it"....wonderfully British. Good work. My Meopta Opemus 6a arrived the other day, and I spent a few days building a support shelf for it so I can squeeze it into my study, so once I've get the screwed and supported hopefully I can join you with vignetting the shit out of things.

@mattd59 11 месяцев назад

This was so interesting! I now feel like I understand the darkroom process so much more. Whilst I don't have a darkroom, this is inspiring for processes to replicate digitally to make my own images better. I DSLR scan my negatives in RAW and then use masks to try and essentially Dodge and burn areas of the images.

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 11 месяцев назад

Thats interesting Matt!

I am trying to get back into darkroom work but unlike 25 years ago when I had a dedicated darkroom I am finding it a struggle, my daughter showed me prints that I had made from years ago and I was took back by how good they where but now my work is utter shite I seem to have lost my mojo. Anyway great video and for me the best film channel out there by a mile.

I'd strongly recommend watching a new darkroomer named Peter Patenaude,his approach is a little different and hugely inspiring,you'll love it as I did. I've thoroughly enjoyed your work and have followed you since you started,digital photography is no way comparable to analogue,it's all about the time and thought process involved with film that digital cannot and will never provide. Keep it up,great stuff!

What developer do you use?

@Enevan1968 5 лет назад

Hi Boss, of late I've been reading a lot of books on B&W photography in the '70s and quite a few times they mention something like Farmer's Reducer / Solution. Have you ever heard of it and if so, used it?

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 лет назад

I use a bleach, which I think is like Farmers, for toning. But here is a video from Peter Elgar on Farmers Reducer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-E4dS75Lt3-w.html

@pietrovettore2585 4 года назад

great results! But I have a question, how do you can reach this level of contrast? I'm not able to. thank you if you answer me!

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 4 года назад

Hi Pietro. I can control the contrast using multigrade filters on multigrade paper. The negative may have been quite punchy to start with which could have possibly been over development or a sunny day.

@nickathos7428 5 лет назад

What determines the amount of light given to the paper to begin with? Forgive me im completely new to this lol. Cheers

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 лет назад

Thats all done on your first initial test strips. I usually start with 6 increments of 3 seconds for a normal negative. If the negative is a bit dense (over exposed) I'd start with 6 sets of 5 second increments. Usually my lens aperture is at f5.6 or f8. Hope this helps.

@nickathos7428 5 лет назад

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss oh ok i get so basically every print starts with doing a test strip with different times. Why would the enlarger lens need different f stops for? Sorry for all the questions mate

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 лет назад

Well, One Reason, my lens is f4 to f22. f4 I start with, nice and bright so I can focus on the image. Making a test print, most lenses have a sweet spot and generally work best one or two stops down from it's widest. So I use that theory when I make prints. If I need more time to dodge and burn I will stop down to f11 or f16. Less light is hitting the paper so takes longer to project. Then some say there is a risk of fogging the paper having longer projection times. But as a rule I stick to one or two stops down from it's widest. (5.6 or 8).

@35mmlove_eric 4 года назад

This is a prime example negative for why dodging tools should be white rather than black. It seem unintuitive but If your cardboard was white you would’ve seen more while dodging.
