Hello! It’s great to see the whole process from the choice of camera and objective to the Nikko lilies and back in the dark room. I am really impressed by the neat result and the incredible collection of equipment. I used to develop my films many years ago in the dark but it was never as good as this. Congratulations. Thank you for this unique photographic work and video. And for the neatness and artistic presentation. Very best wishes in this rainy season. 💯💯😊😊
Hello! Thank you for your kind words. It's wonderful to hear that your past experience in developing film in the darkroom has fueled your passion for photography. I also hope that the supply of photographic film materials continues in the future. Have a great weekend. Thank you.
The TH-cam algorithm brings me here. Very relaxing video, I just recently started to use film camera, and some day want to try the darkroom print. May I know how did you meter the light especially during rainy weather? The prints look good!
Thank you for your kind comment! For negative film with ISO 400, I usually start with f/8 and 1/1000 on sunny days. In rainy weather or shade, I roughly adjust by about +3 to +4 stops from the base of f/8 and 1/1000. (The exposure for the print in this video was f/4 and 1/250.) When I want to measure more accurately, I use an analog light meter. So, you've recently started using a film camera, right? Black-and-white printing is a very enjoyable creative process. I continue shooting film because I love working in the darkroom. I hope this helps! Enjoy your photography!
Thank you for explaining your process, I learned a lot today. Yes, I will try to take as many pictures with my Canon P. When I am confident, I’d like to try the darkroom some time in the future. Have a good day!
