  • In this video I will show you how you can remove the emulsion from scrap Dry Plates or Photographic Film so you can recoat and reuse them once again. I am experimenting with dry plates a lot so the stack of scrap plates is getting higher day by day. Glass and film are not cheap so through the years I have learned how to remove the emulsion from the support and recoat it with fresh one. Enjoy watching :)

    Interesting video. Coating large format film sounds quite demanding as film never stays flat. Any hints or even a video you can provide?

    Great video again Nejc. You always find an interesting topic to inform us. I understand it's probably difficult to post something new every Wednesday along with school and the dry plate orders but keep up the good work as best you can. Cheers from Canada. Oh, and no it's not snowing. Nova Scotia is almost an island on the east coast of Canada and our climate is modified by the Atlantic especially in Weymoutn where I'm located.

      Thank you Wayne. Yeah I am catching the very last minutes every week 😬 Somehow I always manage to pull everything together in videos that I am satisfied with and proud to present. It looks like we are slowly entering spring as well but I am still praying for some snow tho 🙃

      Sure but hardly by hand you would need a coating machine. It can also be done with hand but its hard to maintain the consistency and thickness of the coating...

    I know that you have made cyanotypes on paper from your dry plate negatives, but have you ever considered attempting cyanotypes on glass? Though I have yet to try it, I know that there are different methods that people have used. I'd be very interested in seeing your approach, considering your experience with emulsions on glass.

      Hey Bob. Cyanotype on glass is definitely on list to try!

      @@lostlightart6064 I really look forward to seeing your results. I am considering attempting it this semester, but have been reluctant as there seems to be no definitive method and some require multiple coats.

    Super episode. How would you recommend me to start with large format photography?

    • @lostlightart6064
      @lostlightart6064  3 года назад +1

      Hey Matjaž. It depends of your budget. To start with I would recommend you to buy an older camera from eBay like a speed graphic that already comes with the lens. Then you will also need some 4x5 film and a film holder + cable release that you can get on a budget by searching thru eBay a bit. Once you have these you can go out and shoot. For developing I would recommend you to buy a developing tank and develop the negatives with elastic band method using your preferred chemicals. This more of an entry level low budget option which does not mean you cant make good shots with it! :)

      ok super. I see that I can get something for 200€. To start, it will be great.

    Excellent video Nejc. That's very very helpful. I'm wondering if you have any sugestions on where should i look for a dry plate recipe (orthochromatic one or even panchromatic). Do you have any idea how can I lift the emulsion from a glass plate and transfer it to another object? I mean, what I'm asking is, as the hardener makes the emulsion more stiff, there must be another chemical to turn the emulsion softer in order to split from the base intact. Any help is appreciated. Keep up your good work. Thank you

      Thanks. I would recommend you to visit website/blog of Denise Ross called The Light Farm there are many recipes and techniqes explained there. For silver emulsion lift and transfer search for Mordancage techniqe 😊
