Scan black & white film negatives the easy way

[@ChrisTietjen_00]

Boy... Jerry's got it made... his own water bowl at the park! 🐬

[@robdido]

Haha.. you made it to the end.. sorry for going on. I could compress this video to 1 minute.. yeah Australian parks have these great little bowls.. Jerry is spoilt lol 😊

@@robdido Good video by the way.

[@nannyenisan]

Thank you! I was planning a darkroom session at the school where I taught... but I think I will try this new method.

[@robdido]

Cool. Yeah much easier and cheaper. If you do a lot of film the purpose made scanner better and they throw in software like silvereffecta too.. scans turn out better

[@nannyenisan]

@@robdido wow… thanks for the tip. I’ll bet you there are apps out there for solarization, and all the old techniques are used in the dark room.! I just retired from teaching art in photography for 40 years at the high school level and now I’ll learn new methods!

[@robdido]

@@nannyenisan developing and darkroom work was always so cool. I'd love to do it again but big commitment.. the digital age made it easy but we seem to have lost that tactile element to the art sometimes.. 😆.. software wise you can use Photoshop or Lightroom or luminar.. plus lots of free stuff too out there

[@Enrique-the-photographer]

Good tutorial Roberto, thank you, I'm going to try the JJC again.

[@robdido]

Yeah. It does the trick. Prob not the best results but a bit of touch up in post and its good enough

[@ggwildlife]

excellent just what i wanted, i have thousands of negatives colour & black n white from back in the day, thanks for sharing Roberto.

[@robdido]

I seem to have thrown most my negatives away from yesteryears. If you got heaps prob best to get those dedicated ones.. its a time consuming process. Good excuse to revisit the good old days

[@Bigfarmer8]

Super useful video Roberto!

[@robdido]

Im still experementing with it. I found playing with whte balance helped on the computer editor. Or they turn out too warm. Some i liked warmer darker some i liked cooler brighter

[@1957PLATO]

Excellently tutorial. Watched the whole thing even though I will never go to so much trouble.

[@robdido]

Lol.. its painful. I cant imagine doing years worth of negs. Easier to pay the labs to do it

[@NewWorldFilm]

Didn’t realize JJC made such an affordable film scanning kit. I’ve got a few of their lens hoods. Great video!

[@robdido]

Oh yeah. I was wondering where i heard that brand before. Their that lens hood company.. 😄

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

First time watching your channel, awesome viewing, really enjoyed it!! top stuff! Cheers

[@robdido]

Thanks Crhis. I jump around from digital to film but always make sure Jerry is in the videos .. LOL. Cheers thanks for kind comment

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

@@robdido recently aquired my dads om1 and 2 with a handful of lenses. very grateful for your channel as only been taking photos on a proper camera since 2020 and feel it will be a great source of help! Bought a trip 35 not too long back so will be sure to watch all the other videos with Jerry!! All the best.

[@robdido]

@@chrisstaniforth5629 cool. Same here got back into it in 2020.. those 3 cameras are great.. going to do om1 next

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

@@robdido top lad!! Cheers for the replies!! Had a nightmare day with my plustek scanner, faaaackin' 'ell.. decided its cheaper for dev only and scan 'em myself.

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

Your photos looks soo much better than mine... think i need to practice more or wait for better light... dont get that much here in sunny South Yorkshire.. 😔

[@Gioia67]

I've got heaps of negatives . Very interesting angle and great to keep things diverse. ps crystals 🔮 might need to be out in the moonlight every so often 😀😀

[@robdido]

Yes. Waiting to recharge them. 🔮

[@robertverbeek9751]

great info 👍📸

[@robdido]

Thanks Rob. 😊 🐕

[@TCizauskas]

Good tutorial. Thanks!

[@robdido]

Thanks.

[@sharonconeen2559]

Great tips! Thanks.

[@robdido]

No worries. Thanks Sharon 😆

[@Eli666Ms]

wow, non sapevo si potessero pulire, devo comprarmi l'alcol isopropilico,! l'affarino JJC mi è arrivato da poco, l'ho usato coi guanti ma ho riempito ugualmente la pellicola di polvere, poi non è facilissimo inserire la pellicola dritta, continuavo apri e chiudi finché mi sono stufata, mi serve da esempio la tua calma!

[@robdido]

sì, il modo migliore è rimuovere l'acqua e asciugare bene la pellicola, quindi non è necessario pulirla. ma ho sempre polvere e peli di cane .. hahaha 😆

[@thegreatvanziniphotos5976]

Great video. I would have thought you'd want a 3:2 ratio for 35mm negs.

[@robdido]

True. I tried that but its only for the jpegs. I put it in raw and 4:3 covered the whole sensor and cropped later. I found the 3:2 was harder to frame up when taking the shot.

[@leewilkins2649]

Very thorough Roberto, you should take up instructing professionally. You have far more patience - and ability - than I have. On the odd occasions that I'll use a film camera, it's off to the local camera shop for them to do their magic! Your way is more satisfying though.

[@robdido]

Lots of patience needed with this. Especially if you have heaps of old negs from the past. Haha 😄 i think my accent and stuttering might put a few off if i took it up properly.

[@WhoIsSerafin]

I’ve seen people use legos to hold the camera properly while doing this

[@robdido]

Lol. Thats crazy... i might do it 😄
