Linhof Technorama & Contact prints / vlog

[@chriscard6544]

I came here very recently and I felt at home, like a wind and a slow movement. You make me breathe to a new way. So thank you

[@Defender110SLO]

Flash news. My garage also has a fireplace but no chimney. Top shit happens. Cheers Borut. ☕

[@Gotholia]

Thank you for promoting analog photography and expresssing the true value of nature photography. I love this camera!

[@genegoranov5865]

Very lovely!

[@stephan.scharf]

These contact prints are looking very precious.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Indeed. And when framed they do not look small, they are proudly shining. Thank you.

Nice use of soundtrack from Kuťáci (Pat & Mat) ... thanks for this joke Borut :-).

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Miha Turk was the editor and he put it in. It's perfect, indeed. Thx.

[@BAstudios5]

Very cool

[@vrettakosalexandros]

Thank you Peterlin

[@charlywedl5544]

If I were you, I would invest in a good light meter, such as one from Seconic, with which you can also do spot metering, which then leads to much more precise results.

Hi Borut, I can’t agree with your philosophy more, film has unique aesthetics, better quality that you can see with a looking glass because it is a true physical representation of the reality. Is this amazing silver gelatin print still available? Sorry, i’m a bit late to the party :)

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Thank you @Olviin, I'm glad to hear that. Yes, please, send me an email and I will show you what I have in my archive. [e-mail]

I remember this place in the woods :)

I'd love to see the people who claim analog should look crap take a look at some of my darkroom prints from even just 35mm Kodak Technical Pan. I've made absolutely grainless, pin sharp 11x14 prints from 35mm, and the tonality is astonishing. Sure I can take nice stuff on digital and I've made a profile for my camera similar to Tech Pan but printing that is boring. The ritual of sitting in the darkroom and creating a print entirely by your own hands from scratch, from taking the photo, to developing, to printing, is so far beyond satisfying compared to "ctrl-P".

[@hejxy2213]

love your videos , the intro part is amazinggg it looks so good , also the darkroom partt 100/100 i really enjoy your videos they have a different felling idk what is it but i like it keeeeepp going man

[@horaciomillan4181]

I really think you are a genious, I don’t remember how I found you but I was lucky. I hope you make a new book soon, more so now that I’m beginning to develop my analog photos. On the other side, I think everyone must do what he wants, as much as they don’t harm others, so if they want to use jets (as I did before), everything is legitimate. The point is if one is honest with his work. I once was almost forced to do a certain kind of work with my photos because a teacher in my class wanted that. I did it and the highest calification and he was very happy. And I hated that work, but it was ok because I never considered it good or tried to make it pass as good with others. So I destroyed it, because it was his, not mine.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Thank you. I agree with you and I have similar experience from my college. I wasn't clear enough, I could tell when I was editing. I wanted to say that among people who are starting with analogue photography, there is this misconception that because it's analogue it will be full of errors. It is not true, if it's analogue, it could be better than digital prints or it could be full or artifacts and errors. To be honest with your self is to learn the craft so much, that you can make a choice of your end result. It could be full of artifacts or it could be technically perfect. Personal artistic decision.

👏👏👏subscribed!

...A je to!

[@charlywedl5544]

I always prefer spot metering, where I measure the shadows at different points in the image. My Seconik light meter can record up to seven measuring points and then shows me the average value. This measurement is much more precise and the result is a much more beautiful image.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

No, it's more precise if you can walk to each spot and measure indirect light falling on different spots of the picture. Spotmeter catches all the haze, plus the actual light. Of course if you can't walk to the different spots of the subject, than it's guessing game. One more correction. Technically more precise exposure does not necessarily means more beautiful image. It depends on the viewer, of course. My negatives have all the information I need to make the print as you see it.

[@charlywedl5544]

@@BorutPeterlinPhotography First of all, it is true that a perfectly exposed image does not necessarily mean a good image that the viewer will like. Instead, I was just wondering about your metering method when measuring exposure. Your exposure meter (Gossen Sixtomat digital?), which I used before, does not allow the exposure measurement that I am talking about and which my Secon Lightmeter can do. And of course, with this measuring method you don't have to go to the spot on the subject where you want to measure the light. Instead, you look through a kind of viewfinder in which a green ring is displayed and hold this ring exactly at the point where the light is to be measured. You then go through the areas one after the other and at the end you get the average exposure value. The exposure metering you show is not suitable for close subjects or for portrait shots. I have often tried both exposure methods, light metering (measuring the incident light) and spot metering: Spot metering produces better results.

[@chriscard6544]

we are all different. What matters is to be happy with what you express, what you get and what makes you grow and feel

[@davidfearn8635]

Legend.

[@GeirBakkenVestfold]

Very nice, your videos always inspire me to go out again and shoot more pictures in the forest. Is it remnants of a fortress wall in your photo or is it a natural rock?

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

You're right it's the remains of the fortress from about 13th or 14th Century. Thank you.

[@RogerHyam]

This may push me over the edge to try and 3d print a 6x17 body for my Super Angulon 90mm f/8. Funny how a contact printed 6x17 panorama looks OK but a 4x5 (which is about the same area) looks too small - unless it is of an intimate subject - or does it?

[@aleksanderjachimowski5587]

Hello! Are you planning to reintroduce your panoramic photographs back to your online shop anytime soon? With best regards, Aleksander

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Yes, next week for Black Friday. If you want that Black Friday offer, send me an email on [e-mail]. I'm just leaving for woods and I'll respond on Monday

[@constantinf.5764]

I developed a theory on what is an inkjet print: its an inkjetograph. And a digital image is actually a photogram technically speaking, although the term photogram is reserved for something else. There's really nothing photographic about an inkjet image. We could also make an image on a flat board with a CNC machine by drilling millions of tiny holes and from a distance it will look like the image taken with a digital camera. But that image should be called a machinograph or a drillograph of some kind, not a photograph.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

I agree. Even simpler. If I could draw the same quality or better quality than inkjet, would that be called a photograph or would it be painting, drawing or something else, just never a photograph. If there is no light, there shouldn't be photo adjective.

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

Analogue > digital. Eternal truth. Simple.

[@jonathanrhall43]

Analogue Photograph = Workmanship of Risk Inkjet print = Workmanship of Certainty

[@giuseppecapilli1954]

Sorry, but you really have to take care of your darkroom and keep it clean, you failed my test.

[@BorutPeterlinPhotography]

Well, you probably don't work with silvernitrate, don't you? But I admit, I would hire myself as a cleaning service either. In my next vlog I'll show my skills of a construction worker, perhaps I will pass your test with those skills. May the topshit be with me!
