Lovely. The darkroom really is truly my happy place. I’m on my third; rebuilding with each move to a new residence over the last 3 decades. Currently, my smallest darkroom, but no less capable. I’ve been known to enter on Friday morning and exit on a Sunday evening. I get lost in it.
Thanks for the 30 min. relaxing cup of coffee, ever so slowly getting colder for each zip, with the taste evolving to more and more fruity notes as the temperature drops. Probably the best Brazilian coffee I've come across, EHh yes photos 😁😁 I was never much of a black and white photographer, started with Instamatic as a 7 year old, and have followed the technical journey, up to my Sony A7II. But I can absolutely appreciate the fondness of loosing time and space inside the darkroom for a couple of hours. I use my the garage for the same type of therapeutic sessions, or an aimless drive in one of my old BMWs.
What a beautiful easy goin video as you said it’s so relaxing doing this ! I need to start my own dark room … I’ve never done it but it’s getting expensive sending my film to the lab and as you are aware it’s so addictive and wanting to see your own images is like a kind of opiate vibe .. keep on shooting on Tommy
Truly enjoyable. Relaxed but determined. I’ve created a thousand excuses why I can’t put my darkroom together. When I saw you lay the trays on the floor, well, I have no excuse. I’ll be putting mine together. Did I mention inspiring? Thank you. BTW, you don’t do test strips?
I literally poured developer on my desktop mat! Who the f*ck cares? Yeah I did a couple of test strips but I figured it’s too hard to tell for the whole image. Buy the cheapest paper you can get and trust yourself.
I absolutely like the way you are presenting this video. I really enjoyed this 30 minutes. But why did you crop your beautyful square negatives to rectangular? Cheers and best regards, Greg
Hey Ian! These have been shot with the A16 film back creating 16 6x4,5 images from a single roll of 120 film! It’s a matter of cost efficiency 🫶🏼 However, keep your eyes peeled for the next two episodes…
a great video, but what enlarger did you use?, are all enlargers 120 or 4x5" capable?, so how did you get yours, where did you get the paper, Ilford filters?, etc.
Enjoyed this - this was the first time I saw the process behind a darkroom. I can imagine it must be time consuming if you were to develop a roll of photos. What is your average time spent per image ( +/- ). Also, a good selection of music for the video. Looking forward to the next one : )
Thanks man! It roughly takes me an hour per image once everything is set up! However, I am far from experienced with this. It can also take much longer if you really dive deep into dodging and burning!
Very nice, señor. Looking forward to the next one.
Jose! Thank you so much for your support. See you soon!
This was beautiful!! Would love to see more in this style
Thank you so much. It’s been a bit off topic but then again it’s not. The whole point of photography for me is to kond of zone out a bit.
I watched it now, as a reward for finishing all my exams and I must say, I’m a bit in love with this one.
Thanks! Congrats on finishing your exams mate. Have a great summer!
the perfect ambient video doesn't exis-
Haha 🫶🏼

Wow that’s an incredible masterpiece of an video. Great work.
Thanks mate!
I will for sure enjoy this after my last exam, only got a sneak peak and I’m already very interested.

at 19:30 you forgot the submarine cry of "BATTLE STATIONS" before turning the lights red!!
Great video again, very chilled. Must be a pleasure to do something with so much care.
It truly is once you are ready to put your phone away and focus on just one thing at a time!
I really enjoyed it and even got a little inspired, thank you
Glad you liked it! 🫶🏼
@@nicarnold a lot of effort in it, great job 🙌

Video molto bello, complimenti!
Mille grazie!
a great video, but what enlarger did you use?, are all enlargers 120 or 4x5" capable?, so how did you get yours, where did you get the paper, Ilford filters?, etc.
Durst M805 BW - it came with two Rodenstock lenses covering everything from 35mm up to 6x7, complete with filters and 10 year old baryta paper.
Hey Nicolas, which enlarger did you go for ?
Thanks
Tommy.
It’s a Durst 805 BW!
Marvellous
Thanks!
Warum hast du nur 2k Abonnenten? Ist das hier noch RUclips oder schon Arthouse Kino? Damn! Krasses Video, Respekt!
Thanks a million! I think 2k is quite a lot tho 😅
