Contact Sheet Photography

[@inkaststudio]

You should’ve titled this “I made a 5000 megapixel image for no reason” lol btw, love the channel, subbed 👍🏾 and the talking hands...genius! 👌🏾

Back in ‘02, I went to an exhibit at a gallery that was all contact sheet photos as large prints. The photographer was great, willing to divulge his technique on getting them blown up so large on silver gelatin paper. Truly eye opening to a different way of thinking about photography for me. As a college student at the time, I couldn’t wrap my head around the cost of such a project. I wish I could remember his name, I even had a small exhibition poster for the show for a while. He was a doctor, and this was a creative outlet that he could really focus on and help clear his mind.

Awesome! Would love to see a vlog type video of you actually making the photo!

[@atticdarkroom]

Thanks! I do plan on shooting on-location stuff when things settle down. I haven't really shot a whole lot this year so I've been raiding the archives for content.

[@lordsenneian]

I love your videos. I don’t know how you’re not blowing up on KZbin right now. You should be one of the biggest film photography KZbinrs. Keep up the great work and I know you’ll get there!

[@atticdarkroom]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm just happy that there's someone out there watching this stuff.

Portland looks so nice in pictures and then you actually spend time here and realize its true colors

[@Danilixo10]

incredibly chaotic, 10/10 catch me now shooting three medium format rolls for a single photo oof

[@NorbiWhitney]

Just discovered and binged your entire channel. Some fantastic experiments, and this final panorama was crazy. Did you ever hang the whole thing up on a window or something?

[@atticdarkroom]

I originally put together a lightbox that housed all three uncut strips. It was cool but unwieldly so I ended up cutting the strips down.

[@tom3056]

just discovered your channel and have binged all of your videos. Love the style, can't believe you've only got 132 subscribers.

[@atticdarkroom]

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

[@abijithbadrinarayan8591]

Wow! this is madness! absolutely brilliant channel. I'd love to see you brew your own C-41 and E-6 chemistry.

[@davidgambin2551]

Altavista 😂 you made me go back in time a quarter of a century for no reason 😆

[@carlacastillo2076]

this is so cool, thank you for sharing this made me really happy

[@dustinroemer5180]

large format users: "Look at what they need just to mimic a fraction of our power" For real though, thats impressive

[@logansmith8241]

You maniac, you madman! Love the content

[@tolisthekid]

part of me asks why the fuck would you even, part of me wants to jump right at a project like this... part of me knows I'm too lazy to nail this and too cheap to try.

[@M4Y0_]

LOVE example #2, so cool to see something different :) Shooting film normally is for noobs :P

[@ViaOjo]

Wow!!! Impressive!!!

[@ikindalikebowie]

I am so glad I found this channel! If you happen to read this: What focal length lens were you using in that massive color panorama at the end?

[@atticdarkroom]

I was using the 150mm f4.

[@ChrisTDownTheRabbitHole]

"No good reason series" :) keep it up!

[@AeromaticXD]

That image resolution must be massive

[@lewisclarke1528]

I'm trying this for my final project in college (uk college) and found a photographer called Thomas Lang that also makes images using this technique. I just read the description and saw you linked to Thomas Lang ignore me 😂

[@ailivac]

try it with a tilt-shift lens!

[@HD-ty8ng]

Im going to try that now

[@SamCyanide]

This is an arca Swiss cube moment

[@shotsbyhailey]

just found your channel and love these videos. What lens do you use when doing contact sheet photography?

[@atticdarkroom]

I was using the Hasselblad 150mm f4 CF. That's the longest lens I have and I wish I had a longer focal length because it's a little wider than I wanted.

[@DamanDamish]

I've been following you for quite a while but only subscribed 10 minutes ago🙄. Trichromy, big contact sheet, ... Your projects inspire me enormously. I'm in the process of gathering material to make a large contact sheet/panorama. I've a question. How do you determine the number of degrees between two photos so they don't overlap ? Thanks a lot

[@atticdarkroom]

I looked through the viewfinder and tried to line up the frames. I never got it perfectly lined up. You're also limited to the granularity of your support equipment. Geared heads would be better for example.

[@oscargarcia8204]

my reaction with the second example was "joder, me cago en la puta", that shorta translates to "fuck, holy shit"

[@josednn]

Dope

[@hmainy6184]

Trichrome contact sheet photo

[@atticdarkroom]

I've actually been working on that!

[@hmainy6184]

​@@atticdarkroom The headache to end all HEADACHES!

[@oetproductions8101]

Buster rhymes did it best.

[@DanCohoon]

we did this in photo class in high school
