Good morning! Have you thought about photo sfxart tricks (search for it)? My mate Liam made some very amazing photography with their video tutorials.

This stuff is actually pretty cheap now that everyone wants to shoot digital. You can pick pieces up on ebay or in your local classifieds. Finding a space to set it all up is the hard part!

I’m curious how photography was made differently in different ages. I really appreciate being able to see the mechanics and tools involved.

Sorry to take so long to respond. I tend to forget about these videos. Now you can get some great deals on enlargers and other darkroom supplies as most photographers have now given up their darkrooms. Try ebay or Craig’s list.

I think you figured this out by now, but it’s the steps that come after this part. Not all safelights are red. Ours were yellow.

Help!
What kind of processing you see commonly on tv where they’re in a darkroom with a red light and they’ll dip a paper into those rectangular pans with chemicals in it and they hang the photo afterwards?
anyone please?
thank you

I have a question plese: How much a medium format photographic enlarger costs? Not a very professional one, but also not a crappy one. This one is a Omega and I suppose it’s a good one.
Thanks 🙂

a velvia 50 is worth 100 megapixels……. pretty open ended statement ? in what format 35 mm 6 x 4.5, 6×6, 6×7, 6×17 , 4×5, 8×10 . megapixels don’t mean shit, people shouldn’t compare film to digital 2 completely different mediums.

Is it possible to use a 110 color strip of negative film in that scanner to enlarge the photos??

Yes, it has defined the difference between the artist and the casual photographer. Since 2007 film sales have been slowing climbing from an all time low. I was recently talking to an employee of Cord camera and she said that simple 35mm cameras are in demand again over cheaper digital. Disposable cameras still sale good, they are cheap and give a satisfactory result for the snap shot shooter. So, there is still a demand for film.

Thank you for the relpy Agree with you 100%. Do you think that perhaps the digital age has help to define the traditional photographer as tryly the fine art photographer? Perhaps is really reinforced the definition of the fine art photographer who really handcrafts his/her images using light and light sensitive materials. Hope will can still get them in the years to come. It is one of the things that I live for.

According to Kodak, one from of solor 35mm film would hold the equillent of 50-100 megabites of info. A typical digital camera shot would be about 8 or 10. I use both digital and film and love them both. They are two entirely differnt mediums. You can do something with one that you can’t do with the other.

Doesn’t really matter though if you’re not printing, which most photographers don’t do anymore, because you can edit photos to print on your own home printer with a software such as rasterbator and so forth. It’s not impossible to recreate things like this anymore, it’s very possible.
