About This Video
This video is me going out and taking photographs of HMS Victory on Film with intentions to print large and frame for home.
The journey took a train and a boat to get to Portsmouth. I was shooting Ilfords Delta 100 Film which I developed in XTOL for 10 minutes.
The other film I took with me was Lucky 100 Film (Hmmmm).
The video shows me vlogging a bit and making a large print in my darkroom.

This is what I do..
Don't separate the backing paper from the film when you unwrap it off the spool.
The hanging backing paper and spool acts as a weight to help the film hang vertically straight when held in front of you.
Shove the developing reel under your left arm. leaving both hands free.
Grab the first bit of the film that is going to lead into the developing reel.
Put a reverse quarter inch fold in the end of and across the film width.
Pinch a sharp crease into the centre third of the fold.
When you let go of the fold, it will spring back and leave a crease line across the quarter inch of the film.
This crease line will keep the film stiff and rigid across its width making it way easier to feed into the spool take up lugs.
Shove the first revolution into the reel, then start doing the Paterson backward and forward twisty thing.
Have a go in the daylight using the film in the vid.. :)
Good tip. I had it under my chin at one point. Was a real pain. If it was the ship photos I'd have been gutted.
That sounds so complicated, can't wait for Lab Box so I won't have anything going wrong with the loading process and also can do it in the light!
It's normally pretty easy with 120 and you don't need to worry about all those extra steps, it's just old expired films that have been tightly wound up for many years or films that are particularly thin that can be more difficult to load.
@@jameslane3846 no need to wait for the Lab Box go with the Agfa Rondinax..
@@funnymarco1 they're hard to get, falling apart and only does either 35mm or 120.
I rather get the modern one and it's coming soon
Brilliant and so many happy memories for me.... I left school was lucky to get to work on thw Local Evening Newspaper, spent two years in the darkroom, being taught by a professional wedding and commercial photographer on how to print. Went on to become a staff photographer on the paper. Used Rolliflex TLR 120 then Minolta SR101/Pentax 35mm. Used D76 developer and then ID11. Used Tri-X 400 for both as this gave us maximum speed with quality. Used to do football on a Saturday ( Winter months ) double strength developer ( hot ) quick Fix and Wash then wet neg in a glass carrier, print , down to the picture editors desk. 1 hour later in the late edition of the Sports section, on sale 5pm after the game finished. It all came back watching your vids.. fabulous and so many happy memories.... Still have film cameras but use Digital SLR's these days and Photoshop. Surprisingly a lot of the darkroom skills are still pertinent when using Digital Editing Software. I realise now just how enjoyable darkroom printing was/is and produces some stunning prints. Many thanks, will now start to binge watch all your videos :-)
Loved reading this. Thanks. Good Times. I still buy negs on ebay from a retired press photographer. He sells lots of football negs mainly millwall.
Thanks for all the comments and kind words. It's interesting to read how we all load films. Some great ideas. 💡
AS a total beginner myself and after doing some RUclipssque research, I found that the AP film reel is much better (for beginners) as it has two big lips where the film starts. When I saw this and then the Paterson's, I knew I had to go with AP system. I am still struggling but getting there. Can't imagine doing this with the other reels with a very small ridge. Thank you so much for your content.
Its pretty second nature after you've done it for a while, but I have had some trouble with super old films. If you think the Patterson system seems tricky you should have a go with my ancient metal reels, I kept getting ruined frames because of the reels becoming slightly bent with years of use, picked up a new Patterson tank a year ago and let's just say I'm not going back. Not 1 issue in a year of doing all sorts of rolls for myself and 2 others. I also have a knock off without the little check balls in it and its pretty good, but a bit more touchy to load.
BBC lol, Love that image of the cabins :)
Really good prints, Roger. You made it look so easy. That little camera is amazing. Especially like the composition of the last print, canons and rope. Thanks for making the video.
That's a fantastic image of the boat. It's like looking through a window.
Many thanks!
I had several rolls of lucky 200 many years ago. The results were nice with the blooming of the highlights but dear god, the curling. The most curly film I've ever used.
Real fidly to get on the reel!
I couldn't get an expired roll of Svema on the reel to save my life. I rolled it around my finger backwards (emulsion out) and stuffed it in the tank with a band round it. Two days later it was tempered enough to go on the roll without curling inward. Someone else mentioned just folding back a short flap. This flattens it out so well that I usually do this without even checking if it's necessary.
It's a pain when a 120 is a spring! I fold the tape back on itself and use that to feed onto the reel. Makes it easier.
“Battle of whatever it was”!! Sir, please hand in your passport immediately 😂 Spent a lot of time in Portsmouth when I was a kid, had family down there, bet its a good place to shoot. Oh, it was “kismet Hardy”, it means fate 👍🏻
Nice episode.
For me 120 film is more tricky than 35mm. I am usually use a piece of thick paper inserted onto a reel (just below starting sprockets).
That's a good idea!
Like that idea.
Ha glad to see somebody else has the same problem that I have been having loading film (mine is Ilford Delta ) onto the spool. By all accounts that I have read steel spools are even harder than plastic ones to load.
This is hard to describe in text, but to get film on the spool, I hold the reel on my thumbs, indexes and middle fingers, then put my little fingers in the center of the roll to guide it. I push the film through one complete rotation before I start ratcheting. Keeps the roll from rubbing and catching on the spool and coming off. and also keeps it from scratching inside the dark bag.
Great video! I’m a new photographer and started with film just six months ago and I’ve learned a lot from your channel, cheers!
Love these mini adventures you share with us. Take Care
Stunning prints at the end there, you should feel very pleased with your trip to Portsmouth.
Thanks 👍
Nice print. Many years ago I printed Cibachrome in a tiny darkroom with no ventilation. I had to come out between every print.for my lungs to recover. I also used to make Howson -Algraphy Marathon litho plates; the fumes from the Maradev developer were terrible; they made what was supposed to be a low smell version, Maradev DK, but that was almost as bad. Must be nearly thirty years ago now.
Always love your videos thanks for sharing ☺
Hi Roger...like others, I enjoy your channel.
"That look when a stranger walks into a pub"....especially one using a video recorder
Thank you
Pompey ! My home city ! Awesome video !
Some good backstreets there.
Would not spend to much time on the back streets... I love the look you got when you walked into the pub.... Portsmouth will never change :)
Shoot Film Like a Boss looking forward coming home for a few weeks in November
loving your prints thanks
Loved it. Hats off to you. Outstanding images.
A great pleasure to watch your videos, specially the lab settings. Keep up the nice work and sharing. Congrats’!
Awesome print Roger,man just love your videos!!Cheers!!
great work rodger I really like those ships Ive being on the james craig before can get a bit rough with those old girls but there are fun to look at and photograph
Cheers Beau. Hope all's well with you.
Really enjoyed the video. Good job!
Nice prints. Interesting to see them framed. Enjoying your videos
I NEVER had any luck with the steel reels. Always ended up kinking somewhere. Always used the Paterson reels for 120 and 35mm. Others find the steel reels easy...not me! Best wishes. David.
It never ceases to amaze me the quality of the images you get with your little Nettar, though I do have the exact same one myself and have gotten some very decent images from it also. (I have 6 different Zeiss Ikon cameras, have a bit of a soft spot for them) just goes to show you dont need a high dollar camera to get good pics if you know what your'e doing like you do.
To see you making prints is like doing it myself.... :)
You did well to get a sharp 18" print out the Nettar. I used a lot of Lucky film in the past, and even in 35mm it's like handling snakes.
Ha ha snakes
I must admit that seeing that pint of Peroni beer on your table caused me a bit of a shock. Whilst, as an Italian, I am somewhat proud to discover that a Peroni is being served in one of the countries that produce some of the best beers in the world, at the same time I found a bit anticlimactic to see it in place of the nice pint of bitter that I dream about every time I see an image of an English pub :-) Thanks for your always entertaining videos, and keep up the good work!
Ha ha. I do have the occasional good Ale.
Well done 👏👏👏👏
Ha! I wouldn't have thought that there would have been basketball hoops in a typical English playground. Obviously I need to widen my horizons, and maybe visit!
Not when I was a kid. But we had them in schools in the 80s.
Lucky 100 turned out more like Unlucky! lol. Oh well, you win some you ose some.
guess Chinese methods are not quite upto western standards. imagine the huge demand for silver halide if China made it available to home market and western as well.
Great looking photo.
Thank you! Cheers!
Crackin work. I love your get it done attitude. Very inspirational, and educational. I hate when that curly roll shows up.
hehehe "a lucky Roll of Film". Nice Shots you got there.
Awesome prints, Robin - you've made me envious. Also got me thinking of the good old days (25+ years ago) when it was still possible to get good prints from a lab. Any I've ordered in recent years (even from Ilford) have had very poor resolution. I still love to shoot film, but the only way I can get halfway decent prints is to have the image scanned, then printed digitally. (Yes, I know I should print myself ;-))
Some print some scan. Either way it's still photography. Interesting to hear the change over 25 years. It's Roger lol, Robin 😂
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Sorry, Roger. Very interesting channel BTW!
I used to work in a professional lab and believe it or not when you have really curly film loading it onto a steel reel will work most of the time. It just takes a bit of practice to learn the technique. Use that roll to practice with the steel. I use steel tanks and reels almost exclusively. Great videos. Keep it up.
Thanks Nicholas
Great video and photos, Thanks. I have the same camera, I do.
good video.
Just bought some 100 delta film for my Rolleiflex sl66
Nice one :-)
Good video, great print, but unlucky with the lucky :(
I know. Glad lucky wasn't the ship
I like how you always try diffferent things in the ways you cut your videos. :)
With film that's curly, what I do is to cut the corners off the start of the film. It reduces the film catching on and seems to slide through the reel a lot easier.
Bad luck with the Lucky film!!! I've spent 3 hours once trying to load 120 film when I was still new to it. Found Kaiser reels are much easier to load than standard Paterson ones.
Favourite has to be the third one, the back of the cannon
Great video and I love the print, just for a bit of info for you I did some large prints years ago but used sponges loaded with chemicals and just rubbed them across the paper placed on a cardboard tray covered with a sheet of plastic then washed them in the bath with the shower head! To keep the paper flat I used strips of double sided tape on the baseboard (not the heavy duty type) and if you rub the tape with your hand it reduces the stickiness but enough to hold the paper and lasts for ages! Keep the vids coming 👍👍👍
So your chems were used once? Or do you manage to save and re use?
I just loaded the sponge it’s surprising how little chemical you actually use!
Great quality from that camera, film and xtol, who needs a Hasselblad?
oh man, so sad that you got a bad lucky.
haha sorry for the bad joke
Love your videos, man!! It is so upsetting that we can't carry our cameras in so many places :-(
I often roll the start of the film backwards for a moment to get the front of the film track the reel better.
I literally had the same curly film issue yesterday with some old tri-x plus x, 20 minutes later, in a darkroom bathroom, I put one end in my mouth, and stood on the other end, and finally got it on the reel, but I did rip it a bit! ⚰️🔪🔪
😂😂
Cracking vid bud :-) SO love Portsmouth :-) Crackin print too!! (How much for a copy?)
Not allowed to sell these ones Iain. Some law protects it
So the Victory is still considered a military secret, no photography allowed? Glad you didn't get arrested as a French spy. :)
I can highly recommend First call photographic they are great .Ps I do not work for the compony .
Very efficiant with great service.
Take your Lucky film and practice with you plastic reel, but with your controling hand's middle or left of middle finger (next to pinky) placed inside the film roll just holding it, the wound film, off the reel, as you roll you film onto the reel.
This is easier than it sounds, though I'll suggest you wear white cotton inspection gloves, neoprene or white tux gloves to keep moist hands from creating drag or any oil or dirt and other mater off the film.
Good Luck and Godspeed
I used mu little fingers to hold back the coiled film, so it would feed straight into the grooves.
I gotta get that camera. I love my zeiss ikoflex TLR but it's a little cumbersome to use when I hike. That seems like a perfect solution
Pocket camera is the ikon
I've started using AP reels for the same reason. They have a broad guide before the cam. So straightens the film before the groove. I also put the film 'tube' on my little fingers which I find helps. Cheers Diz
I'll have to try them!
same here!
Hi Roger, You are allowed to take your camera in the dockyards and you are allowed to video.
However their thing is that it has to be for personal use, I spotted that you were wearing your "business" polo shirt. therefore they would have deemed you as a Professional Photographer, which is only allowed with prior agreement by them.
Possibly Ashley. Ah well. I stuck to the rules as much as I wanted to shoot more. Great historic place
Great shots Roger....that Nettar looks like a really compact way of shooting MF (do you need to stop down to get the lens to perform). Re the film...I always found the Patterson centre loading reels to be easier once mastered but don't think they make them any more.
It is a joy to shoot. I prefer shooting at infinite with a smaller aperture. But I've still had great results with aperture wide open and closer subjects
I always cut my film corners into a curve that way it doesnt catch on the reel both 35mm and 120
Another comment suggested that Graham. Thanks.
Try a Samigon autofeed reel. So much quicker and easier. You’re a pro, I know, but I’ve been shooting for years and can appreciate the simplicity.
Thanks for the tip! I'll check it out
This is really helpful, thanks a lot! Is this a durst m605 of m670 ? What lens are you using ? I have a m670 myself and trying to gear up for large prints
I used the Kodak TMAX400 for many years, I shot it at 200 ASA/ISO and devoloped it in a thin solution for a long time with very few and very gently agitations, in that way the film had more grey tones and had still good contrast, in modern words, larger dynamic range. I guess you can do the same with a Ilford Delta 400.
This is why I love shooting film. So many variables and ways to make a photo.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Yes, just almost like digital ;) I done film photography from 1970 to 2007, now I only do digital, I have always had bad feelings of all the chemicals.
I shot an event on B&W film but just to make sure I shot digital also for my 'safety' shots. That lucky film situation is why digital won the race. I am sure fussy old film codgers back in the day shot film as their 'safety' because they were so overwhelmed by simple computer usage.
A lot got out of the game when digital came. My mate (fashion photographer) Fraser did.
very nice clean looking large print. I am curious about the smaller print shown early on, you had a black border around the image ... how did you do that?
Thanks. Look for my video on black borders
I sometimes struggle with the paterson reels. Sometimes my 120 film reverses out of the reel for some reason. I recently got a steel reel and i will say that loading is a lot easier. Just make sure it is centered properly and it should work fine
I'm leaning towards steel. I'm starting to struggle with my favourite plastic reel. It's not loading 120 with ease like it used to.
Plastic does go weird after a while
Hi Roger...I appreciate the effort you put into these videos. These videos help me learn this craft.
What do you think would happen if we enlarged the negative onto MG RC paper, then put the paper away for a week before developing, fixing and washing?
The exposed paper would be stored in a light proof plastic bag like that sold in.
Lol, errrrm.... Ha ha I really don't know. I've never done that. Very good question.
@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss Worth a try? Would certainly be a new video idea. Maybe on one day, two prints are made from the same negative. One is developed through fixer on the same day it's exposed/enlarged, and the other is put away for a week then developed. The two would then be compared for quality differences.

Ha ha, I'd give it a go if I had the opportunity...
Just checking if you are still alive after doing what you want instead of doing what she told you to do.
AP reels work better.
what wait? you dont' want' to take pictures of your wife instead your going to take pictures of something you like?. sounds like darkroom/doghouse for you my friend!
Ha ha... Good 😆
MAGA!
First political comment lol
