Yes, thank you. Or better, I'll retouch it totally differently. I'm also thinking about keeping both of them, like diptych. We'll see, I do not have to make a decision now.
Cool video, really enjoying your work and seeing the finished prints. Through your inspiriation I have started to contact print my 6 x 9 photos. So much better than a digital scan. beautiful. So thanks.
Really lovely print and the retouching is perfect on the tree. Great work Borut! I prefer the one where you’re out of focus; it’s not just the focus but the composition is more pleasing to me and it all clicks into place beautifully.
I'd go for the one with you out of focus. I also like the tone of the background in that pic better than the other one. Should teach Winch how to critique art...1 bark for good, 2 barks for bad, for really bad...well!!! :D
I like the details in the tree stump in the in focus shot, but the framing in the off focus one also works. Reshoot it and back light you for some added rim light. 😜
I really see what you tried to do with the retouching, making a sort of halo above you with light, and I like the idea but I agree with you that this attempt didn't do it a favour. I also agree with you that the framing with the in focus branches makes sense. The branches are perhaps slightly too dark? Your body possibly disappears a bit too much? Anyway, love seeing you try out the printing on a new picture - I'm very excited for the prints to come.
If you mean the plate I've made in my last vlog, lying between the branches, I must disappoint you, the negative isn't good enough for printing. But the good side is, I'll redo the frame, no doubt, and make an excellent negative of the scene.
If you hadn't made the out of focus one, the other would have looked perfect to me! It makes me think that no matter how great you think you are, there's always room for improvement. Great video!
Wow great stuff! Were these prints single coated albumen? Do you think a double coat would prevent the silver nitrate from soaking through? Maybe just hardening with isopropyl alcohol like you mentioned. Didn't notice any bad side effects from brushing on the AgNO3. Do you think it could be easily done with smaller prints up to 8x10? I have some albumen in the fridge but haven't used it yet because I didn't want to buy a whole other liter of 15% silver nitrate. If I could get by with brushing I could make/buy less.
Put your focus (and WB) on manual :;) On a serious note: Where are you getting your alcohol from. You can't find an ounce on the East Coast USA and I'm afraid to use any for processing :O
Oh, yes, I usually have that. I've recorded in different days, so light was different. Alcohol was not possible to buy only in the first two weeks of the lockdown and now is about 30% more expensive as usual, but it's not a problem to buy it. Denatured.
It's all about the density of the negative. I call it bulletproof negative. I broke one negative today. Not this one, but still, a beautiful one. Eh...
Thank you mate, it came in the right time. Like literally, I thought I'll not buy that Wim Hof app, I need to save money and bling, your generous support came in. Thank you again, may the topshit be with you!
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography I don't, but I'd love a copy! I've really enjoyed your work the last few years, and it's helped push me to try new things in my own work. Thanks for sharing your process, your art and everything with us Borut. 🖤
Great images and video. Topshit quality!!! Both versions have their vertiuses and I I cannot help you choose. I am a bit indecisive :-) No wait, the out of focus body is better Or maybe not.... 😀
Ha, ha, ha! Nikos, I want to confess that I tried your Greek tea plants only in this lockdown period, since my tea shop was closed, but it's fantastic and I love it! My favorite evening tea! Thank you so much!
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography I am glad!! It is actually found around the Mediterranean but ancient Greeks named it. Good stuff, let me know if you run out! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sideritis
Excellent! In year 2002 it happened to me that I've recorded a haunting silhouette in a photo of a forest. I've noticed it only when printed as an invitation to an exhibition, ha, ha... I don't believe in ghosts or those stories, but forest is alive. Even in the quietest night there is movement everywhere. The worst are hedgehogs. They make more noise then a bear. Seriously. And when you point a torch in the direction of the sound there is nothing there! Seriously, this is the creepiest thing it can happen in the forest. No bear has scared me more then a hedgehog!
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography Last year I went to a spot where the trees cleared to capture the lake and milky way. I heard three hissing sounds .The last one was louder so I packed and quickly went back home.No idea what animal that was.Maybe a snake.
I enjoy watching your process
Like the one where you are out of focus makes you part of the forest, the one that you're in focus, some guy getting a suntan. Please keep the coming.
Ha, ha, that was really painful suntanning, even for a masochistic photographer as I am.
I would go for the “in focus” one (without the correction).
Yes, thank you. Or better, I'll retouch it totally differently. I'm also thinking about keeping both of them, like diptych. We'll see, I do not have to make a decision now.

Perhaps brighter body might add the esoteric effect. I'll see. THX.

Nice video. I like the in-focus one. Looks like you've been working out.

These were double coated, but I think it was some other pollution. As I've said, I need to make more tests. At the moment I'm guessing.
I would go for the out of focus one because the branches are highlighted and strengthen the composition. Anyway, I love all prints.
Is it you on the photos? 😄

I wish my prints could keep that deep purple you get when you first lift the print out of the contact frame. Easily my favorite part of the process.

In focus is my favourite.
Like the second image. And Winch
Winch for president!
Great as always. I'd personally keep teh in focus one without the retouching.
Yes, I agree. Or I'll keep both of them, like a diptych.
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography Yes! That makes a lot of sense when I imagine it.
Drž se, kamaráde! Tvůj kanál mám z celýho YT nejradši!
And Mike is also there ❤️
wow, great work !
Looking forward to the chemistry vlog, I think I am already very good at ruining plates. 😆
It's the name of the game ;-)
What paper did you use for the print ?
I don't know, usually I use Fabriano F5 or Rosaspina, but this was from an old stock. Something aquarel, acid free 300gr
@@BorutPeterlinPhotography Nice. I am thinning out some paper negatives and I'll try that with them.
I agree, the out of focus show was better.
Love baby bear
great video!!
I like the out of focus one better.

I also prefer the same one as you 👍🏻
Thank you Terry, I'll redo the retouching for the other plate and I might keep both of them, like a diptych. Just thinking.
TOP SHIT
prefer the image *Not in focus
when ur not in focus hehe
Have a closer look at the left side of the tree .I see a nose and eye.
