Spot on! Lovely b/w photographs with that creamy bokeh I do so much appreciate! Thank you for the Music also! (I found your channel tonight, I am a first-timer here watching and listening!) Really enjoying your handling the rare historic cameras of great value! Please stay blessed! Best regards from your neighbor country in west! Kiitos!
A year ago or so I gently proposed to hear some piano tunes more often. Then I waited and finally here it is. Those tunes elevate the video to a new level. Thank you. István
Very interesting to see the results! Especially when we don’t see the world at such shallow depths of field. Very cool plant for very cool photographs! Thanks for yet another great video!
Winogrand would be proud of you! However, I have read that he left behind 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film and 300,000 unedited images. The shots never became photographs. Fun video. I always start my Saturdays with your presentations.
I enjoyed this episode very much! Fomabrom Variant 111 is a fibre based paper, right? So my question is how did yoy manage to have such lovely flat prints after the paper is dry? They look so nice, any tip on this? Thank you and be well!
Thank you, thank you. Yes, it is fiber-based. I have a three-phase process to get my prints flat: 1) Let them dry by hanging them with clothes pegs just enough for the wont to drip anymore (ruclips.net/video/mo_pdkcLSn8/видео.htmlsi=5u47kRJ2H9hguB_N&t=415) 2) Then, put them on a flat surface with some weights on the corners for about a day: (ruclips.net/video/mo_pdkcLSn8/видео.htmlsi=Sragu3F47WuG2ek-&t=416) 3) Then, finally, if it is a small print between the pages of a sturdy book and a lot of weight on top (I use my guitar amp :-) ) or for bigger prints, I took some shelves from an old Ikea bookshelf, and I put them between the shelves for 2-3 days. The key is this process. You cannot let the curl al the way ever. That's why this #2 is so so important.
If an image only becomes a photograph when it is printed, are digital practitioners who never print their work actually 'computer image makers' and not photographers at all? Perhaps Digital Photography magazine is an oxymoron! All those Big Boys must take up a lot of storage space, not to mention the darkroom - you must live in a big house. My camera fits in my pocket. I live in a small house. Great video Ari, and some lovely images from a simple subject.
Perhaps heresy of me to say but welcome to the side of photography where intention is pushed way down the list of priorities. I like the idea that it isn't a photograph until it is printed and agree. I've told the story of the day we mourned the passing of my father-in-law far too many times over but one of the takeaways of that afternoon was that NO ONE - - not young or old - - reached for a tablet or a phone or any other kind of device, but more than one person ran inside to grab the shoe boxes full of prints. Your "Physical" rendition got me to thinking (too deeply perhaps?) is there a difference between "analog" photography, where we rely on the chemists and physicists that make film photography a reality as compared to "digital" photography - where we rely on the coders, physicists and electrical engineers??? It's often argued that we relegate some of the creative intellect to others in digital (or words to that effect). On the other hand, looking the varied chemistries, papers, and optics you had to choose from it does feel like we (once again) relied on a great deal of knowledge from others embedded in those tools. Perhaps that knowledge was not resident in a non-volatile memory but it was still very much a part of the end result. But hey - enough of this intellectual exercise - time to stop thinking so much. head outside and "Shoot on Film"
Yeah, I think that you can also make an actual photograph with digital tools if you go and print your images. But as long as it only lives on a computer screen, it is not a photograph. It is -- well, a computer image. :-)
Yeah, he was absolutely right! ANd like in the music, so many different performances can be made from one single score -- and none of them is 100% similar.
I like the picture with the Rodenstock Brass lens most and... I also have such a plant. So plenty of photographic objects ahead. Nevertheless, my camera collection is different...
The good news seems to be that you apparently have finally abandoned the awful Holga. Next step would now be 8x10 (just joking). BTW: If I want to see what things look like in a "real" photograph I use slide film, but there is only one in 4x5 left -- sad.
Hey, Ari! Would you be willing to sell me the photo that you have made with the Graflex Speed Graphic and the Eurynar lens? Greetings from Germany Markus

Love that shutter sound, mirror flip, thanks
a expensive moment(for me) using sheet film. That's when I love small cameras.. Great thoughts! Bravo.

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Thanks, Istvan. For me playing those piano parts are often a highlight of the process!
Great photograph of your plant! I especially like seeing it through different lenses with a variety of movements. Thanks Ari!
Thanks for watching!
I feel so lazy after watching your videos. I guess that is a good thing because it is motivating.
Very interesting to see the results! Especially when we don’t see the world at such shallow depths of field. Very cool plant for very cool photographs! Thanks for yet another great video!
Thanks for watching. Very inspiring to just photograph with no other meaning to it :-)
seeing the prints is really a delight. thanks for the video 🙂
Thanks. Yeah, the prints are always the icing on the cake!
I’m happy to see you making beautiful photographs with so-called mundane subject. You’re good at it, so thank you from New Jersey, near NYC😘❤️
Thanks, thanks. Appreciated!
GReat episode. Love working in the dark room.
It is a lot of fun!
Winogrand would be proud of you! However, I have read that he left behind 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film and 300,000 unedited images. The shots never became photographs. Fun video. I always start my Saturdays with your presentations.
Since the last video, I've shot 9 rolls of 120 film and 12 sheets of 4x5. And I've developed them all --- but have not done prints yet. :-)
Keep enjoying analog photography Ari!
I will, I will!
Thanks Ari !!!!! Another Great Video !!!!!!! :) :) :)
Thanks, thanks!

@@ShootOnFilm Thank you so much for your help! Great!
The thing I like about photographing with macro and telephoto lenses is that it shows me the things I do not see with my eyes, and yet they are there.
A good point!
Sometimes thats all it is "i wonder how this would look as a photo" or the classic "this looks kinda cool, gonna take a photo" 😎
Agreed 😊

Well, Digital Photography magazine is not an oxymoron as long as the magazine is printed and not an electronic version :-)
Wow you put a car headlight on a Graflex 😂
😅 yes I did

Nice presentation, and something to think about...
Thanks thanks -- and thanks for watching!!
Proof, if it was need that Ansel Adams was right. The negative is the score and the print is the performance! 🎭
Yeah, he was absolutely right! ANd like in the music, so many different performances can be made from one single score -- and none of them is 100% similar.
I like the picture with the Rodenstock Brass lens most
and...
I also have such a plant. So plenty of photographic objects ahead.
Nevertheless, my camera collection is different...
That's the beauty of analog photography: so great variety of camera types to choose from.

😊 I have my freezer full of Fuji Provia in 4x5.
Color video today!
What do you think? :-) Better or worse?
@@ShootOnFilm Nice change of pace, but I like the classic B&W look.
Hey, Ari! Would you be willing to sell me the photo that you have made with the Graflex Speed Graphic and the Eurynar lens?
Greetings from Germany
Markus
No -- but I can send it to you for free. Thanks for asking!! Send me an email to slowlight.us@gmail.com so we can figure out the details :-)
Nice Compliment!!!!!!!!
@@ShootOnFilmThank you, very much, Ari! I have sent you an email in this minute.
wait wait, this is a color video....
🙂
