Advanced black and white silver gelatin printing at the DARKROOM

[@kelvinclancy7609]

Anton, your test strip process is so simple yet so effective, I have waisted so much time processing each on because I can't remember what is what, thank you!!

[@AntonIvanov]

Thanks! This is truly magic trick ))

[@Alexandros.Nasikas]

Thank you very much Mr. Ivanov.

[@AntonIvanov]

Alexandros Nasikas Welcome!

Great video and beautiful print

[@AntonIvanov]

Thanks! I do my best at the darkroom!

[@Irnbruist]

really wonderful video and what an impressive end result!

[@AntonIvanov]

Thanks a lot

What a pleasant surprise to find this video. He moves so quickly that it may not be the best tutorial for beginner. I'd like to see a more detailed presentation of split grade printing (without relying on the super-expensive Heiland printing system) and exactly how to optimize the use of a metering system in the printing process. I have several meters and know the theory, buy I've never gotten to the point with them where they are more convenient than just starting with test strips.

[@enLARGE.darkroom]

If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, there is also the enLARGE app which lets you make all your test and work prints in tiny whole frame sizes and then print the big prints directly as finished prints

[@AntonIvanov]

I will keep creating a new videos about the darkroom techniques

[@KeishaLou]

The printer is equally responsible for the art as the photographer. Amazing.

[@orion7741]

sort of, but not really because if a photographer does end up using somebody else to do the printing, the photographer is the one that tells the printer what to do and the printer just does whatever the photographer tells them to do.

[@craig243ful]

that is by far the best way i've ever seen for doing a print thank you for the information

[@AntonIvanov]

Thanks a lot!

[@bertcremers3134]

Hello Anton. This a verry nice video, I hope you also show us how you tone the print in selenium and show the difference between the two prints. Regards, Bert.

[@AntonIvanov]

Bert Cremers Thanks Bert! Sure, we can easily check two print with a densitometer. Usually the difference between a not toned and the toned print is about 0,2 D in blacks!

@@AntonIvanov Thanks Anton, I love to see it in (one of) your next video !

[@AntonIvanov]

Bert Cremers ok, I’ll do so! Thanks for the idea of the next video! ;)

that is realy inspiring and informative. Thank you for sharing - great job

[@AntonIvanov]

Thank you very much!

[@muchmore344]

I would be highly interested in how to judge the burning/dodging high an split-grade process?

[@AntonIvanov]

Thanks, stay tuned, we'll post more

[@lukemakayabu4369]

Love this video - thank you for the education. what are the benefits of the densitometer? please show us selenium toning and its benefits

[@AntonIvanov]

You can measure the densities of the negative or a print - and it gives you a lot of information about the exposure, real ISO, developing time and contrast. I'll try to keep shooting more videos.

[@SD_Alias]

Such a great darkroom! reminds me on my days i worked in a lab end of the 80ies…

[@pierrez8455]

Excellent video Anton. However, we don't know how you dodged/burning with the splitgrade...

[@terrywbreedlove]

I have the Beseler 45 Universal just now set up no printing yet. I can’t learn how to use the built in color lights it has three to change the filter factors for black and white prints and I can’t find a manual anywhere :(

[@kelvinclancy7609]

Terry, KHB photo out of Canada has the 45 universal manuals for $10, highly recommend doing business with them. Great guys.

[@terrywbreedlove]

Kelvin Clancy Thank you I ordered one from them 👍🏻

[@kelvinclancy7609]

@@terrywbreedlove glad to hear it, I was astounded when I found them, I couldn't believe that they're still going strong. Also if you need spare/replacement parts that you can't find on their site just give then a call, extremely knowledgeable guys and they have a ton of small parts that you can't find anywhere else.

[@jameslane3846]

@@kelvinclancy7609 Beseler is still in business. I believe they, Kaiser and Intrepid are the only enlarger makers to this day

[@photosynthesis69]

Is there a thriving film community in Russia/ St. Petersburg? Places where you can still print and get developed? Do schools still have darkrooms and stuff like that

[@AntonIvanov]

There are not many, but still exists some darkroom and commercial labs. Universities has some darkrooms too

[@isaacazulay]

this is amazing! Great content! thanks!

Great video. I am working on some alternative processes and uploading videos on my KZbin channel!

Fantastic. Thanks a lot.

При печати «исходника» почему увеличитель светил зеленым и голубым? Только для сокращения воемени экспозиции? Это функция увеличителя или экспертная правка по опыту?

[@johnp996]

Thanks Anton
