Using your original test strip to decide on the amount to burn the sky is seems so obvious now you've said it, but it never occurred to me!

@DistinctionPhotoLLC 2 месяца назад

That is also why it can. E valuable to make a full sheet . It will give you more information

I have my first community darkroom appointment Friday. I've made prints before, but never dodged and burned, and I got a copy of The Print from the library but seeing it done helps put a visual to the words! Thank you!

Terrific video. I like how you use white card stock for burning so you can see the negative as you’re burning. I need to get some of that.

I think we really only need to get over the fact that we will have to wreck a few prints learning and that it is part of the process. That frees you to jump in and experiment!

Get it good on film, make it better on paper. Makes a lot of sense. 👍🏻

@DistinctionPhotoLLC 2 месяца назад

@ruperstition Месяц назад

Great video! I have a question though. When you're burning with the hole in the cardboard (aprox 12.30min), you're holding it a fair distance away from the paper (I would say about 15cm). On the projected image it looks like you're burning the right spots, but keeping in mind the print is 15cm under, and a light projected from the top, wouldn't that create a bigger burnt area than your desired one? Would it be better to place it as close to the paper as possible? Thanks!

@DistinctionPhotoLLC Месяц назад

It really depends on the print. But the further away the softer the edge of light so easier to blend, but yes bigger area overall. I usually try to start about half way between paper and enlarger with split grade using the softest filter. When burning the highlights with a soft filter you have a little leeway as it will not print hard blacks (or it will take a lot to) therefore you have more forgiveness. All that being said getting closer might work better for some things.

@mrfidegf 2 месяца назад

How do you go from rc to fb? Do you test exposure differences between paper when you start a box, or just redo test strips on fiber? Thanks

@DistinctionPhotoLLC 2 месяца назад

If you want to test. The easiest way I have found is to test highlights. Every paper has a speed point / iso - I believe it is based off a midtone. I like to test for a highlight area (this is done with just filtration no neg. Find an exposure for just a slight density a bright texture highlight. Do this for each filter as there will be a slight deviation on the exposure. Do this with both RC and Fiber base and you will have a basis for translating from one to the other. You will need to adjust contrast (not always) and can run tests for that as well but it takes more time. Most papers are consistent enough that this will hold up. If things start getting off you can retest by lot numbers /batches but I use the same tests over and over as you will still need to make some adjustments but it will get you real close right off the bat. Hope that makes sense

@tosha3873 2 месяца назад

I perfer to use a black paper because it is easier to see a nega image on the balck paper.

@DistinctionPhotoLLC 2 месяца назад

Guess it depends on what you are doing. I have always found it hard to see the dark batches of film on black which is what I am often burning. But if black works it works 👍
