Darkroom In Use

[@LilKimRobot]

This brought back memories from my high school photography class.... when I first fell in love with the dark room. Thank you, this video alone has motivated me to pursue my dreams.

[@margosketch]

Our high school has just installed a dark room for photography lessons and we can use them , there honestly so cool

[@jordywilliams]

selling all my digital equipment and setting up a darkroom was the best thing i ever did

[@markuslebt]

digital photography is soulless photography

[@irasemonti]

St. Mark THANK YOU

[@gamerN77]

St. Mark If it's soulless to you, you are doing something wrong!

[@Raevenswood]

Analog is definitely a lot of fun and I love the look of it, it's so much more natural looking than Digital in respect to all the stacked and bracketed HDR images being produced digitally but these HDR shots are also really cool if you look at them from a "they aren't trying to look natural" perspective. Definite bonus to Digital is Astrophotography ... being able to shoot the milky way and create awesome time-lapse is a huge bonus. I started with film and a Pentax ME Super but when I lost access to a darkroom I sort of shied away from 35mm, took some time off from shooting all together, and then when I picked it back up I got my ME super tuned, got a Pentax MX and started playing around again but eventually ended up with a DSLR. I still use both formats and do most of my daylight shooting with film but for astrophotography it's all about digital for me ... at least until I get a good equatorial mount so I can shoot hour long deep field exposures with my 35mm cameras :D.... really though my next step is to venture in to Medium Format ... it just looks soon fantastic! So yeah I agree that both types are great for their individual purposes and both have advantages and disadvantages. The thought that film will be phased out in the near future makes me cringe.

[@markharris5771]

I do both and I love both, to dismiss digital is shortsighted in my opinion. I love film, I don't think there is a digital camera out there that can give the detail my Bronica ETRSi can with landscape and "art" photography. But if I'm photographing a bird, like an osprey catching its fish, then I want my Canon 7DII with its 10 frames a second so I can shoot 3 or 4 images as I see it scoop. And no, it isn't spraying shots hoping for that lucky one, it's watching you subject closely and within that half a second you are pressing the button for, that has to be carefully timed and focused, you get four different shots. This would be impossible with film. If you have a client in the studio you need to work tethered, you have that wonderful ability for the client to see your image, so it's sensible to work with a camera such as a Canon 5DIII which you can display on anything up to 27" monitor or even bigger. These are real strengths digital has, and they cannot be dismissed. But wherever it's prudent I will use either a 35mm or a 120 film camera because the strength of film is it's look. It's neither better or worse than digital, it a different medium with a totally different look and it's because of this I keep my film editing to a minimum and I do do a lot of wet printing with 35mm black and white. We are photographers, cameras, film and memory cards are our tools and we should use the best tool for the job. If you got a joiner in to build the frame of your house and he brought out a manual crank drill, I'm sure you would scratch your head and ask where his electric drill was, but if he made himself a small boat using old fashioned tools for the achievement of doing it you'd applaud him. Different tools for different jobs.

i was always taught that you should use separate tongs for the developer, stop and fixer because of cross contamination of chemicals.

[@EyeLean5280]

You were taught correctly but it's hard to always follow that ideal and the impact on the prints does seem to be minimal, even unnoticeable, most of the time.

you should definitely do that. if the chemicals mix, they will make a new chemical. you don’t want ammonia leaking in the room do you

I go to an Arts high school, and we still have a dark room that kids use every day :) the only differences, are that we use developer for 2 minutes, stop for 30 seconds, and fixer for 3 minutes. Plus, pictures do not develop that fast! It takes the entire two minutes for them to develop. I really love this video though, almost as much as I love the dark room (:

[@FlareLightPro]

yea, i was going for something somewhat art-sy, i might end up doing a full explanation video eventually, hopefully in the fall, its my old high schools darkroom that i'm using as for the methods from the 60's to now, i cant imagine it being that different, but dont quote me on that :P i do know that in the past 20 years they improved the ISO on film, by making the grain smaller and more light sensitive

[@fredbazoo]

My heart just broke when you said "available cheaply". Being an amateur that startedin the seventies.....good enlargers were anyhting but cheap (lol)

[@jackthehatphoto]

It is heartbreaking isn't it? I'm in the trade and film equipment is actually rising in price again which is nice to see. It means more people are having a go at it. There's a new generation of 20-somethings that have never shot film before. That makes me feel seriously old and I'm not 40 yet!

[@tonyatorrez]

Just so people know: every time you place your photographic paper into the chemicals there is some cross contamination of chemicals... yes, I still use seperate tongs for each chemical... but I get that this is an artistic view of a darkroom in use & in that respect - very nice video. ;)

[@resist4resist]

Hello friend, this is really a nice video that clearly explains the film processing from negative onto the paper without a word being spoken. I recently bought a used Durst M600 enlarger and I have yet to use it. I have one question though, I read that one must use different tongs for developer tray, stop bath tray and fixer tray but I see that you have used the same tong on all three. Isn't contamination of different chemicals in each tray a concern? Thanks for your answer.

[@barrysmith4094]

The FIXER (hypothiosulfate) is what removes the undeveloped silver particals so you can bring the image into the light. However, you must wash the hypo off the paper, or you will have stains like coffee. To do this, you place the photo in a tub of water, and let warm water from the faucet run into the tub so that the water in the tub recycles. This is done for half an hour. The rapid movement of the water is what washes away the left over hypo on the paper. A lot of water is being used But there's a much better way. You can buy what's called hypo eleminater . It comes in a 32 once bottle. One ounce makes a gallon of eleminater. You can get 100 sheets of 8 x 10 paper per gallon of mixed eleminator . First let the papers soak in a tub of still water for 5 minutes. Then in the hypo eleminator for another 5 min. Finally in another tub of water for 5 more min. You're done.

The music in the video added perfect atmophere to it, thanks for sharing.

same here. the most photos we cherish are those form the 80s and early 90s. last year me and my friends went on a trip. my friend gave me a CD with +300 photos he took with his digital. I lost that CD and didn't even bother for another one..I am not against digital either it just feels that something is missing."easy come. easy go" maybe?. I remember waiting for the photographer to finish the results. we always think of how will they come out.also we always take good care of them now i bought an old Polaroid 320 with Fujifilm :D. an instant peel-apart film camera. these photos will surely be kept well :D

[@rpavich]

I noticed that you have two safelights very close to where you are developing. I was under the impression that safelights should be at least 15' away from the paper while exposing. Does this cause a problem? I also noticed that you used the same tongs the whole way from the developer to the water bath. Normally I've seen it where separate tongs are used so as to not contaminate each bath. Do you find that this causes a problem? Thanks for the video...it was helpful and interesting.

[@peppatheoof]

you definitely want to use different things as to not cross-contaminate. if they mix, you will be making a whole new chemical

[@ZaffireWolf]

So basically they improved the quality of the product rather than the techniques since then? Thanks for the video, again! It really helps to see everything in action.

[@jackthehatphoto]

Yes, but first you have to process the film to get the negatives. Once you have the negatives you can make the prints like in this video. All that is assuming the film in your camera is black and white. If it's a colour film you would be better taking it to a lab in my opinion.

[@FlareLightPro]

all three come in their own jug, their all concentrated, all i have to do is dilute it with the proper ammount of water, cant remember what the amounts are, its been close to 2 years since i used that dark room :(

[@kevinwright7319]

I think you may mean the negative carrier or holder

[@Eicles]

Great video, what kind of safelights and easel were you using?

[@jackthehatphoto]

Colour is much more difficult to print in a darkroom. The chemicals are different and the temperatures are much more critical. Also, you need an enlarger capable of accepting coloured filters. Colour paper is sensitive to red light so much of the work either has to be done in complete darkness or with a very dim green safelight. The final insult is the cost, it is much more expensive and the chemicals expire quickly.

color film is a lot more complex to do, requires a different type of enlarger with multiple lights and more chemicals. you also need to be a lot more exact with chemical temperatures, exposure durations and what not. black and white is a lot easier to do, its also way cheaper. this is also my high schools old darkroom, i think after i graduated from there they stoped their film photography class.

if your in canada, you can get the enlargers from henry's i think, otherwise try looking on ebay, or for photography stores, if you know of a high school that used to teach photography, try talking to them, as this is seen as a dying art by schools, they might be phasing it out and would probably be willing to sell

[@EnnBeex]

Lovely video! Could you please explain how the test print works? Kinda blew my mind. I thought exposure was always controlled by the camera itself, but in fact you can control it somewhat in the darkroom? Does this mean that any time you pay to have film developed someone is responsible for determining what "looks best", or is the paper always left in for a specific time (depending on temperature etc.)? Great tune also

[@FlareLightPro]

ehh yeah, no worries, so short answer, you can sort of adjust how the image shows up with the enlarger. so at 11 sec and 43 seconds in, thats the enlarger, your negative goes in there. It shines light through the negative, onto the photo sensitive paper. By raising or lowering the head, you can change the size of the image (or crop in on parts). you also need to focus the the enlarger when the negative is in it. at 52 seconds, thats the control box for it, where you can control the intensity and duration of the light that shines through the negative onto the paper. So for the test print, you get your negative all set up in the enlarger, and the photo paper down below. grab a sheet of card board or something the light cant easily penetrate, and place it over your photo paper, leaving a portion un-covered. for example, say the enlarger light is set for 5 seconds. press the light button, a portion of the paper is exposed, shift your piece of card board, fire the light again, shift the cardboard, fire light, repeat as necessary. So using my test print at 4:23 as example, the left side would be exposed for 5 seconds, right side would have been exposed for 25 seconds. You do this to figure out how to expose your negative on the photo paper properly, so say if your negative was under or over exposed, you might be able to correct that on the photo paper. If someone is really skilled, they can "dodge" and "burn" where they let more or less light hit certain parts of the photo paper to sort of manipulate the exposure in specific spots. the temp and freshness of your chemicals will also have an effect on the exposure, when it come to proper B&W i think its a little bit more forgiving than color. when you pay to get pics developed from negatives/ bring film to one of those one hour development places, im pretty sure they just scan/ digitize the negatives and use a photo printer. If this was over 20-30 + years ago, then im sure someone would have ball parked the photo paper exposures for something that would work with all pics on the reel of film you provided them with. you could probably pay extra to small artisanal shops to make adjustment for "best look" but im sure thatll come at a price, and at that point your probably better off doing that yourself, or get your own decent quality scanner and manipulate in photoshop or lightroom. hopefully thats clear as mud without going into too much detail. lol its been 10 years, maybe time for me to make a follow up video for some of the good questions i get on the vid

Is that actual stop bath, or are you just using plain water? I noticed that you're only using one set of tongs. It's best to use 3 tongs. One for each solution. If the tongs are contaminated with stop bath and it makes its way back to the developer, it could contaminate the developer. Plus, I don't put the developer tray and the stop tray right next to each other. I like putting them like 3 inches apart from one another, so that the stop bath is not as likely to splash into the developer. It looks like do did good. I see a lot prints hanging there.

I was kinda pissed.

[@peterjf7723]

@@KitanKate OK There were two film formats 35mm also known as 135, with that you would take the film to be developed and you would get your prints back with the negatives cut into strips of usually four frames and put in a plastic sleeve with the prints. The original metal film canister would not be returned to you. APS (Advanced Photo System) was a later film format that came out in 1996, and as far as I know is no longer made.. APS film needed a different camera to 135 film. Unlike 135 film, processed (developed) APS film was stored in the original cartridge which was returned to you. My thinking was that you could have mistaken a previously developed APS cartridge for an undeveloped one which was why you got the same images back. By 2015 there were very few places left that could properly process APS so they may have removed the film from the cartridge and sleeved it rather than leaving it in the cartridge as intended.

Brian Harvey ehh! Thanks! So for filming, I did it on the 60D, maxed out the ISO, shot wide open (f2.8-4) and carefully focused everything before shooting. Before I hit record I flipped the 60Ds screen in so the light from it wouldn’t ruin my film. As for white balance I probably had the camera in auto mode, this was back when I first started getting into photography and had no clue as to what WB was.
