One of my favorite pieces, though I never associated it with artichokes. I like your idea of using it and compliment you on using your own performance. It's by no means an easy piece. I disagree with many, even the eminent Andras Schiff, that the figuration must be interpreted as one of Schubert's references to a brook or stream, that rubato is mostly out of place, and that the remarkable double cut-time obligates speed. I think there is more to hear in the piece without getting sentimental, and that the voicing has more dialogue. Kempf belongs to a much earlier generation, but, whether you agree, partly or wholly, or not, I think his conception deserves consideration. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ-Wd5t3oJ14hqc Best wishes as you continue in our shared passions for Classical music and film!

Thank you so much for that kind comment and for introducing me to that Kempff recording! WOW does he go slow, but I do like the way it completely changes the perception of that middle voice. The composition definitely lends itself to different interpretations, which I think is a big part of the fun. It’s always been a special piece to me; in fact, it was the recessional at my wedding. In truth, I’m much more of a jazz pianist than a classical one, but I was always encouraged by my piano teachers to push myself on the classical side and learning this was a definite stretch for me but worth it. Thanks for watching and listening!

Thanks! Yeah I stocked up on FP-100C at $40/pack when it was discontinued. I don’t think I’ll use anymore for this project because I got some nice negatives. An Instax photo is only slightly more expensive than a photo on my RB67, so I can use it pretty guilt-free!

Very cool. I have a cartridge of 100C in my Mamiaya RZ57 Polaroid back. some chemistry leaked out of one of the sheets corroded the film speed dial.and fell off. Seven shots left. What to do? I got one exposure, but woefully underexposed. (meter reading from my Sekonic Flashmate.) I see the price for a pack, wholly mackinaw!! I think I paid just under 20$ CDN for mine ten years ago or so. Thanks for showing your process.

Really brings me back to my days spent under the red light. Results looked great. I would have loved to see how they'd look against a defocused natural background though...even that textured stucco wall. The shallow DOF of these large-formats is also a big selling point for me.
@silverandplatinum Ай бұрын
Yes large format at f/8 or wider is a unique look for sure! I'll do portraits like that sometimes if I don't have a strobe, and then I don't need a backdrop. I do run into some other issues though: on an overcast day like this, my shutter speed gets too slow to capture people tack-sharp, even at ISO 400. Also, with a plane of focus that shallow, I really need the person I'm photographing not to move their face at all, even a little, and the concentration it takes to stay still will for many people add tension to the face unless I do a lot of extra coaching. The other thing going on here is that that particular wall when rendered in black and white is almost the exact tone of Richard's face, so it would have washed him out - I've had problems with this wall before. Thanks for watching!

Waaaaay back in '93 I learned how to shoot on 4x5, printing and mounting my own images. I haven't done it since about 2004, but I could pick it up again if I had access to the film and the chemistry. Still have my Speed Graphic too. I probably won't because I'm just not a fan of working with those chemicals.

Thanks for an interesting video - quick question: Were you limited with image circle from your lens? I wondering if you could have raised the front standard a little rather than asking your first subject to squat down.
@silverandplatinum Ай бұрын
The main issue was actually the backdrop - my light stands didn’t go high enough and no camera movement would have compensated. Another minor issue is that I only had 1/2 hour total, so I was trying not to fiddle with movements between subjects. (I think I actually rushed Yenny’s portrait a little; in retrospect, I wish I had had the time to work her expression a little more)

That’s how photography was made one hundred years ago by the time of Edward Weston (8x10, contact print and dry mounting). Great to see it demonstrated. And you are lucky to have access to such a nice lab. For amateurs like me, the hot mount press is impossible to manage (too scarce, and too large). When I contact print 8x10 on 8x10 paper I like to keep the border untrimmed, otherwise it looks just like any other enlarged print.
@silverandplatinum Ай бұрын
I am definitely lucky to live near San Francisco, where we have some fantastic darkroom facilities (although Edward Weston made contact prints at home with a regular light bulb!). I show the sheet film border sometimes, although sometimes I think it's also fun to crop that part out so that people DO compare it to a 35mm print and wonder why it's so sharp.

Hello! I'm a beginner, but I also shoot 8x10 photos, and when making contact prints, I often struggle to center the film on the paper. How do you use a contact printing frame or guide to ensure the film is centered on the paper? Is the paper size 11x14?
@silverandplatinum 2 ай бұрын
There are different ways to do it. In this video I’m using 8x10 paper and 8x10 film, so it’s easy: I just align the edges. The white border is from the easel. With 11x14 paper, one trick you can use is to get an 11x14 mat with an 8x10 window, and bring that into the darkroom to use as a guide. You could also use a ruler, but that takes a little longer.

What aperture were you using in this exampIe? I''d imagine the base exposure and subsequent intervals thereafter would be dependent on your aperture. If the base exposure, in this case, was 4 seconds, and the lens was set to f8, then would it stand to reason that you'd want your base exposure to be 8 seconds, if using f11 on your enlarger lens?

No worries! It depends what kind of enlarger (machine thing :) ) that you have. Mine has those little magenta and yellow dials, but yours might not. You might have to buy a set of filters that can be inserted into your enlarger; different enlargers use different size filters so make sure you have the correct size. Where I use magenta 200, you'll use a #5 magenta filter. Where I use yellow 80, you'll use a #0 yellow filter.

Nice intro, Ryan. I assume you're using RC papers, from the short hypo clearing time you gave. I'll add a couple of comments. Different papers can respond very differently to selenium (and other toners). Dilution, toning speed, time/temp can all affect the result; even the printer developer can affect it, though two untoned prints developed in different developers might appear identical. For instance, Ilford Warmtone fiber base, in 1:19 selenium at about 68 F, shows only a slight change in the lower middle values until several minutes have passed. Fomatone, another warm-tone paper fiber paper, tones so fast at 1:19 that I use 1:80 (!) to have better control, and still rarely go beyond 2.5 minutes, unless a very full toning is desired. (If so, with the Ilford, I might use 1:9 or even a lower dilution to spend less time per print.) Most papers today are variable contrast, using a high-contrast and a low-contrast emulsion, which typically tone at different rates. This can produce a print with far more toning effect in the lower values. The result can be a print with two "colors", an effect the artist may or may not find desirable, depending on subject, extent, and tonal distribution.
