Another cracking episode guys!! Loved the interview and nice to see someone making a go of it still shooting film! And I can vouch for the Cyanotype process, not only is it cheap but it’s great fun creating an image from the shoot to development then to print it out using the Cyanotype process, having full control over the whole process brings a lot of satisfaction! #longlivefilm

Thanks for watching as always Lee

[@alangauld6079]

Good show and I liked the sunset/rise explanations. The printing options were all familiar - I started making contact prints from old 120 roll film as an 8-year-old and progressed through various darkroom setups till I processed all my own colour and B&W films including slides(remember Cibachrome?!) and produced prints up to 20x30inches. But when I switched to digital I gave most of my kit to the local high school camera club. I kept the film processing bits(thankfully) and still process my own B&W films today. But printing is fully digital. I haven't used C-type though, so I'll give that a go soon. Keep up the good work.

Another great show everyone. I enjoyed the feature on Mhairi Law I am trying to catch up with all the episodes as have been away. .

Sorry to sound like a broken record, but this is by far the best photography channel on KZbin. Such high quality, and such good storytelling. Just sending kudos and good cheer in the comments section.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks Michael. No problem with sounding like a broken record if it’s a positive message! Thanks for watching. All the best.

"Here comes the science part" I always hear Jennifer Anniston saying that when Marcus is about to give us one of his deep dives and this sunset / rise prediction section was no exception. Brilliant stuff, well explained! Thank you 🙌🙌

Thanks David. Glad you enjoyed it.

These videos are amazing. Your productions are top notch, and you break things down in a clean and simple manner. I hope you grow 10X at least!

Congrats on another fine show guys! Many thanks for the info on predicting sunrises and sunsets, I never would have thought of looking to the east or west of my location.

Really enjoyed the feature on Mhairi Law and her film work on the Outer Hebrides. Great to see the desire to live somewhere you love combined with a pastime you love turned into a viable business. One to visit in the future.

[@Gill3D]

This was an excellent episode. I normally find the background music too intrusive but it seemed to be a tad quieter this time. This meant I was able to concentrate on what was being said, rather than having to skip between subtitles and the visual images. It's no fun watching a presentation about images when you can't look at them because you're concentrating on subtitles! But I found this episode to be more accessible and I enjoyed it as well as improving my knowledge of photography. Thank you. 👍

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks for watching.

'Simply The Best' as Tina Turner belted it out. Great presentation, but mind those little beasties.

[@johnchambers6272]

Another great video. Enjoyed your new segment of showcasing a photographer, what they do, their style etc. Hopefully you will do more of this. Also excellent content in the Sunrise/Sunset and Printing segments. Now looking forward to the framing side of things if you go ahead with it. Thanks team.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Thanks John. More to come

[@johnboothroyd7087]

[@dominikj3952]

Great overview of printing options! When I shot film for the first time in years, the prints I got from the lab looked fine. But I was disappointed with my shots: They were not really sharp, had blown-out lights, and an overall smudgy look to them. I thought, maybe my metering was off, ISO 400 being too grainy, or I needed new glasses. Not at all! Once I did some prints in the darkroom, even with my limited skills, they turned out great. It was like switching video quality settings from 360p to 1080p … If you've never seen the difference, you won't believe it.

[@rickbowdentube]

Great feature on the various printing methods.😀

[@lensman5762]

The most expensive photograph ever sold, Man Ray's 'Le Violon d'Ingres', for $12.4 Million . IMHO, this shows how ridiculous he ' Art ' market is. As beautiful as this photograph is, it is nothing but a still life, ie: it is repeatable in many shapes or form. Ansel Adams once sighed at the large sums that his photographs were fetching. For me though, as a landscape photographer, Moonrise Over Hernadez remains as one of the most extraordinary photographs ever produced. It was the representation of a magical moment in time, never to be repeated exactly, and had it not not been for the brilliance, technical expertise and presence of mind of Adams , we would have been deprived of witnessing such an ' out of this world ' natural spectacle in print. Thank you for your informative video.

As always great show. Could we have some information about ‘digital negatives’ please? I could never get a large format film camera but would love to try printing from a digital negative. Thanks again for another great show.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Hi Steve. Yes this is one of the things we’ll be covering in a future show. It’s relatively straightforward but there’s also many potential areas where it could go wrong, so we’ll be highlighting these. Thanks for watching.

I'm at 68.3°N latitude so we have very a very shallow angle for the track of the sun, so fairly long sunrise and sunset windows. However, we have cloudy skies not just overhead but to the horizon a lot. Summer we have 60 days of sunlight and 30 days with no sunrise/sunset in winter. But when we have an epic sunrise or sunset, it is epic.

[@PhotographyOnline]

You don’t mention where you are but it sounds good. Thanks for watching.

Are we still calling Lik's Moonlit Dreams image a "Photograph" rather than "Composite"?

[@PhotographyOnline]

I think both of your options are far too respectful! (Marcus)

[@filton12]

@@PhotographyOnline Thank you, Marcus, agreed. Then he makes it worse by adding those BS stories. Ugh, cringe. Maybe Photography Online could do a How-To on getting those annoying clouds behind the moon instead of obscuring it?

Every time I see a Mamiya RZ67 on the channel it hurts! I sold mine part exchange for a 70-200mm f/2.8. I loved that camera and produced some of my best work on it. One day I'll have to get another one and also revive my jammed Nikon FE2s! In this digital world where I depend on that medium for stock, I still hanker after film and the darkroom. Still, reassuring to see that I have exactly the same model of inkjet printer as Nick! Another hugely inspiring episode, guys. Well done!

I hope those soldered wires weren't 240v and then wrapped in a bit of insulation tape. 😮😮😮 🔥 🔥 Could have perhaps used more certifiable means such as a Wago Lever Connector. Simple, easy, safe. Top Tip.

Particularly appreciated the segment about printmaking. I gave up on inkjets years ago because of the cost of ink. I wasn't aware of C prints - I will be looking into that. Haven't the space for a wet darkroom anymore, and no community facility nearby. Alternative Processes - Wow! What a brilliant thing to try when you think you have something good on your hands - More Please! I see you are planning more on digital negatives - is there any chance of using a laser printer for this?

[@PhotographyOnline]

Hi David. We’ll be showing how to do digital negatives as many people have asked to find out more. Watch this space

[@noelwhitaker70]

I hadn't heard of c-prints either but note that many print labs have abandoned c-prints because of the chemical waste. I will explore though -thank you, great show again.

[@nevanoconnell3356]

Literally just struck out before watching this, got up a five for sunrise, yet sadly nothing made an appearance.

[@faramineuzefotos2975]

Hahahaha! The way you pronounce Ingres would be written in French as engrais, which simply means manure. The emphasis is on the first syllable and is pronounced as the "in" in pint and the second is mute, as in " buy me a pint", the "a", of course. Hope this helps😄

[@PhotographyOnline]

Manure? That's really funny. Thanks for the tips!

What a waste of time watching this. Absolutely nothing about the title. Just clickbait.

[@PhotographyOnline]

Clearly you didn’t watch the feature about how to predict sunrise and sunsets then.

[@ianlaker9161]

If you consider watching this a waste of time then you don't understand what photography is actually about.

[@rogerwalton8160]

I've been a photographer for over 50 years and enjoyed every minute of this show.

[@ianlaker9161]

As another contributor has just pointed out, photographic experience has nothing to do with it. I have over 40 years' experience since leaving art college in the late 70s, where I studied graphic design and photography. The thumbnail showed exactly the content of the show.
