Very interesting Sam, good to see the old camera still works. With that type of photography you have the time to think about every composition and go through a meticulous procedure as failure is painful. Yes I agree digital doesn't have a soul in the same way but is a hell of a lot more convenient. It is so different that it's hardly photography any more
Fascinating Sam. First time I've watched the development process since being in the school darkroom in the early sixties. Get Mary to buy you a cable release for your birthday. Love to both Noel
This was just fascinating, Sam. Never before seen the development process of film before . And the camera was just great . Proper photography not the rubbish I do. And you looked as if you just come of the set of Mario cart 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Glad you enjoyed it Joe, couple of things 1. I definitely didn't mean to infer that modern photography is overly easy. Although sometimes we can forget how lucky us photographers are to get results a Victorian couldn't even begin to imagine. Your photos are ones I couldn't get even with my modern kit! 2. I had indeed been standing in for mario as he's been a bit poorly.😆
That and a whole lot more. Photo's are throwaway things for the most part now. Going back to old processes definitely makes me more thoughtful about pressing the shutter button (or lever).
Hey thanks very much! I've got an Epson perfection 3200 it's a very old scanner and I had to buy custom drivers software to get it to work but even with this cost it was significantly cheaper than a more modern 5x4 scanner. Hope this helps.
Hello hob, all good thanks. Time marches on as ever. I keep thinking about starting up another TH-cam channel and various other projects but life always has other plans. Hope you are doing well. Sorry to have been missing in action

Yes indeed, and with all the development in AI fairly soon noone will need a camera at all. Scary stuff.
Nice! No telling how long it has been since the camera took an image! Cheers to you for reviving it!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it.

Merry Christmas, sorry I missed this hobb.
To think that all that mechanism is contained in our mobile phones now

Hello Sam, nice video❤, I would like to know what is the scanner you used in the video.
