@Ditispeter 2 года назад

Best way is to cut the tab at the start of the film with scissors and round the edges a bit. That way it's easier to load it on the spool. Also leave the film on the film spool when loading it. At the end you can cut it with scissors from the spool.

Not you just inhaling mercury fumes from a broken thermometer. I’m happy to see y’all spreading film to a larger audience! Congrats on developing your 1st 35mm roll!

@Trebelhornc 2 года назад

They stopped putting mercury in thermometers like 20 years ago. Since 2001, 20 states have banned mercury “fever thermometers”. Okay, so they still make some. How do you know if a thermometer has mercury in it? If there is no liquid in your thermometer, for example, if it uses a metallic strip or coil to measure temperature (like most meat thermometers do), it is not a mercury thermometer. If the liquid in the thermometer bulb is any color other than silver, it is not a mercury thermometer. His was like, blue. No mercury.

As an extra, after the Stabilizer I like to add a couple of drops of wetting agent (such as Kodak Photo-Flo) into clean water at 33°C to prevent watermarks when the film is drying.

@nedslade666 3 месяца назад

I found a roll of film that appears to have been sitting around that I for some reason never got developed. I honestly don’t know if anything is on it, but it appears wound, so I must have shot it. That made me think I should develop it myself because I don’t want to pay to get an unknown/possibly nothing roll developed. This brought me here, to the first video I’ve ever watched on developing negatives. Great, informative video. Thank you!

@joshuamartinstudios 2 года назад

personally black and white is so difficult lol I still have 2 rolls to develop. but try it out!

@raduneacsu3204 2 года назад

@@joshuamartinstudios For black and white I use Ilford or Foma substances. It's almost the same. To process a film you need a film developer, stop bath and fixer. After that, you wash it properly and that should be all. Recently I experienced b&w developing process with expired substances and it still worked.

@ioana938 2 года назад

Used to print black and white pictures at home with my dad. Now that my son is getting into photography, I pulled the old camera, realized there is no more Ritz in town and CVS no longer sells or process film within 3 hours, so I hopped on the internet to see what we do... lovely video, THANK YOU!

@mauricioguillen8385 Год назад

something we did in our film class when trying to get the right temp is to get hot war and cool it down with film containers with frozen water! Keep an eye on your thermometer as temperture drops and you'll find that it's easier cooling it than to warm it up to the right temp.

@acespade9976 2 года назад

I am very new to film photography and I am wanting to use my grandpa's old film camera. Literally no one develops film anymore and its nearly a lost art. So I want to start doing my own developing and I absolutely love this video. He explains everything in simple terms before hand and he also does it again step by step. He also sounds really fun XD. one question i do have though is that when you are pouring the developer and bflix in, how much do you put in? do you fill it or is there a mental measurement?

@HR-wd6cw Год назад

I'm going to buy this kit, but I'm thinking the pre-soak may remove any dust or lint from the film before processing (even though 35mm film canisters (and presumably 120) has little felt strips that probably keep the film and "cleans" it when it is wound up again, so the pre-soak might help ensure the film surface is clean from any dust or lint particles, which may be at risk of getting "baked" onto the film surface when the other steps are performed. It's only one minute, I would just do it if it's part of the instructions (even though it's maybe "optional").

@jussfl 2 года назад

@krysis7271 Год назад

I do this with industrial film. I expose film with gamma radiation to inspect welds. Our film is much bigger and I wish our reels were like those. We follow a very similar process but with tanks that are around 15 gallons each. We have a mobile “dark room” on the back of our trucks with our tanks, a film light, and a TON of film is giant rolls in light proof boxes. The way we have to reel our film has a huge risk of leaving crimp marks if you’re unpracticed. Due to codes of inspection, we have to redo that shot unfortunately. This is awesome to see though! I didn’t realize how similar the processes would actually be!

@Simoendi Год назад

Hey don't worry, I broke my paterson thermometer on day one too. It fell while still in the protective box, just because I'm super clumsy.... then I bought a digital kitchen thermometer, worked super fine, and fell on the floor another three time without damage

@user-uv3jq9te2n 7 месяцев назад

very interesting.

@backpackerhumpback 2 года назад

This was really informative! We've currently experimenting with a point a shoot (mju V) and we're having a great time! I do have a question, though, it's said that the highlights in film are more recoverable when compared to digital, at what stage of the process does that come in play? Is it after the scanning? Would a lab do those adjustments? Because we had a roll developed, scanned and printed and the highlights are blown out so we're not sure if it was the camera malfunctioning or just a poor job at the lab

@DerEliSpielt 10 месяцев назад

very late reply, but probably a bit of both .. it also really depends what iso you were shooting, because a 400 or 800 film has way more latitude than a 50iso film. some films you can overexpose by 3 or 4 stops and the highlights wont be extremely blown out but look pretty decent. if u get ur negatives back, maybe try scanning them yourself to have some more control over the editing of the highlights!

@VisualsbyBruno 2 года назад

Very helpful video Josh... devloping film doesnt seem that hard. I do have a question thou. So is there a leveler on the tank that indicates how much of the chemicals to pour?

@joshuamartinstudios 2 года назад

yeah its just takes time and trust the process. you pour the chemicals to the top of the whole of the paterson tank

@TacoLlamaYES Год назад

Some numbers, bc I was lookin into it. If you were to send your film to be developed at a place that does it for $12, 24rolls will be $288 (not including shipping), compared to the cost of the kit, which is $29.99 plus shipping! Also, you can get 35mm cameras (plus i believe 1 roll? possibly 2) at Five Below. Major score, i had to do a double take when i was window shopping there lmao. And the Hello Kitty website. Yeah they emailed me about it, so I figured I'd include it, they're super cute LOOL. I thought it was interesting, I assume they are becoming more popular like Instant photos did for a while for nostalgia, but I love them. I remember getting them for every field trip and wasting it on the bus ride LOL.

After years of stubbornly trying to wash film, I've decided that it's not really the right thing to do for the planet in terms of sustainability, as it's not only technologically defeated, but also wastes a lot of chemicals. Yes, it's nice for a while, it's nice to wait like a surprise egg to see what the result will be, but it's actually tiring and, I'm sorry, "unnecessary".
