Darkroom Photography Techniques : How to Use a Photo Enlarger

[eeskaatt]

okay nevermind.. it's a silver gelatin print. it's on the next video XD

Help!

What kind of processing you see commonly on tv where they're in a darkroom with a red light and they'll dip a paper into those rectangular pans with chemicals in it and they hang the photo afterwards?

anyone please?

thank you

I have a question plese: How much a medium format photographic enlarger costs? Not a very professional one, but also not a crappy one. This one is a Omega and I suppose it's a good one.

Thanks :)

Is it possible to use a 110 color strip of negative film in that scanner to enlarge the photos??

I like digital, but this is true photography...

Nice to see that there are still people like us left in the world. Long live the traditional process. Light crafts. Long live Ansel/Edward/Brett/Cole and Minor White.

i see. always wondered how films turned into huge prints. i just bought my first film camera yesterday, and am looking to do all these darkroom stuff.

[helgenx]

@jgda9rs You will be spending a LOT of money. It doesn't make you a better photographer to develop your own photos. You will be spending on materials, failed attempts, film, lights, equipment...

[acearchie]

@helgenx It's a lot cheaper to buy the chemicals and develop yourself at least it certainly is here in the UK

[helgenx]

@acearchie But you always have to keep re-buying film, toxic chemicals, need a darkroom, need too much time ETC. I don't know how it is cheaper than taking a lot over the amount pictures film can, going home, storing them on your computer, put them on a disc or other media, and having them printed out at 5-20 cents per picture. Don't get me wrong, I shoot film too, but I definitely will not be developing any time soon. I could just buy a Canon 5D and get the same results as any FF film basically

[kyandio74]

@helgenx full frame is peanuts compared to large format ..a 35mm sensor vs a 5 inch 'sensor' ...i have a 5D for sale because i want more detail in my landscapes .

i switch to a view camera .

[Malibucompany]

@kyandio74 How can we compare mega pixels to what we get with our large negative? I have a Toyo View. I do see a forth dimension to the fine silver print that I dont see in these injet/digital prints.

[carsmasher]

@Malibucompany According to Kodak, one from of solor 35mm film would hold the equillent of 50-100 megabites of info. A typical digital camera shot would be about 8 or 10. I use both digital and film and love them both. They are two entirely differnt mediums. You can do something with one that you can't do with the other.

[Malibucompany]

@carsmasher Thank you for the relpy Agree with you 100%. Do you think that perhaps the digital age has help to define the traditional photographer as tryly the fine art photographer? Perhaps is really reinforced the definition of the fine art photographer who really handcrafts his/her images using light and light sensitive materials. Hope will can still get them in the years to come. It is one of the things that I live for.

[carsmasher]

@Malibucompany Yes, it has defined the difference between the artist and the casual photographer. Since 2007 film sales have been slowing climbing from an all time low. I was recently talking to an employee of Cord camera and she said that simple 35mm cameras are in demand again over cheaper digital. Disposable cameras still sale good, they are cheap and give a satisfactory result for the snap shot shooter. So, there is still a demand for film.

[skonkfactory]

@helgenx A frame of Fuji Velvia 50 is equivalent to about 100 megapixels.

[helgenx]

@skonkfactory Doesn't really matter though if you're not printing, which most photographers don't do anymore, because you can edit photos to print on your own home printer with a software such as rasterbator and so forth. It's not impossible to recreate things like this anymore, it's very possible.

[joeysasickciant]

@skonkfactory a velvia 50 is worth 100 megapixels....... pretty open ended statement ? in what format 35 mm 6 x 4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x17 , 4x5, 8x10 . megapixels don't mean shit, people shouldn't compare film to digital 2 completely different mediums.

[tigres162003]

Great video

Hope you make a video of the kinds of lens that the Enlarger could use like for medium format ( 6 x4.5 , 6x6 , 6x7 cm film) or large formats

because I been looking around but there not a video that talk about Enlarger lens.

I give this video A+++++

Great job
