Amazing work, and thanks for sharing your process! I'm certainly going to try using those masking techniques you demoed today. Also, I'm jealous that you got to capture Detroit in the late 1990s!
Thanks, Bill. This was fun. Soon, I am going to start experimenting with digitizing my MF negatives with a camera, as you are doing. I have a decent scanner for 35mm, but not the roll film. At some point, I need to make the decision to go digital with the old negs, or print them in the darkroom. I haven’t shot any film in a few years. I have enough negatives, however, to keep me busy for a long time! And, I have got to learn Lightroom. I still do everything in Photoshop, but I’m paying for both! Cheers!
@@JDavidBrown hey DAVID. I’m glad you liked it. I would definitely start getting familiar with Lightroom as it is very helpful. Not only in doing initial editing, but in cataloging all of my work. Digitizing the negatives can be fun as well. I’ve always meant to sit down and be very industrious about it and go through everything, but I tend to just go for the negatives I feel like printing at the time. I’m like you! I have enough negative to keep me going for this lifetime and the next.
@@jurgenburchhart5816 good question. That was a matter of personal choice. To be more technicallly correct, shooting it emulsion side up would be better because you’re not shooting through the film plane. It was a personal choice because I like to see it right reading and having done a lot of them, I also realize that shooting emulsion side up, doesn’t give me any real noticeable difference in my final outcome.

Bill.You have negatives that go back to when we were in Boy Scouts.....
@@Coz255 I do, Jamie! It’s fun the things I come up with sometimes. Thanks for watching!
why emulsion down?
