Can you please talk about what is the process that you go through, albeit it may be subconscious in its nature that makes you pick and choose what you would be photographing? Perhaps discussing those visual cues that may lend an insight to your processes?
What a delight to get a glimpse of your thought process about film & photography. Perhaps you would share your recipe for developing HP5 sometime. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Great video, as usual. I agree with you that TriX is more contrasty than HP5, but I was wondering if you finding it too contrasty might not in part be due to your pushing film 2 stops, as pushing film and contrasts. What do you think?
It’s a completely valid comment, however, it’s all about degrees. HP5 and Tri X will both increase in contrast when pushed. But if Trix is already inheritantly contrasty, there’s not much leeway. HP5 is less contrasty to begin with. Developers, the manner in which you agitate together with a less contrasty German lens provide me with a more malleable negative.
i like to use hp5 and a yellow filter with a bit of a 'pull' in development... contrast should remain similar but with what i want ('color shifted' darker skies, a different 'grain' than usual)
This was great
Thanks JK

Hi Pelicula, working on it. Should be uploaded by end of next week.

I really enjoyed this video, thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
My god if you were my uni lecturer I might not be failing. Really interesting video, thanks dude.

You apply the correct method especially in contrasty scenes. I'm guessing you live somewhere sunnier than England 😂
