great video, but one warning, Take off your watch, digital or analogue (has a luminous paint that glows in the dark), they can wreck your films, so take them off, same as rings [could scratch things].
6:55 Thank you so much. I had a darkroom ages ago and am looking to set one up again. This was so helpful since I'm now shooting 4x5.
Hi, can I use a regular holder for the metal plates?
how did you make this video without light from your camera / phone going on the paper? i want to make a darkroom video soon but dont know how with a phone
i used stop bath between dev and fix
Good job! Back in the day I shot 4x5, it’s been about 20 years. So I’m getting back up to speed.
Very beautiful. Your works is really inspiring. Excellent to watch enjoying.
46:51 promising series, something to dig
8:42 fantastic shot
Im starting a new photographic project called Loss about Annik Honoré et Ian Curtis
Wow, indeed!!!! Thank you for a well-spent 21 minutes of my time. This video was so good and helpful. I've saved it and will watch it again to ensure my little memory box retains what you've demonstrated. I've also subscribed to your channel. A question or two for you. I am in a two-year diploma photography program at an accredited college here in Canada. As instructed by the school, I will use stop rather than water in between the developer and the fixer. Do you see any issues with that? Also, rather than 3 minutes, we time our fix based on how fresh it is. Do you see any issues with that? Finally, any reason why you do not pour the two drops of photo flo wetting agent directly into the SP-445 daylight tank?
Hi Michael, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Your questions are good ones! IMHO: 1. Stop bath is a good thing. I didn't use it in my video because I was trying to put together the bare minimum setup one would need to process 4x5 at home and (IMHO) it's not absolutely necessary. 2. Fix time based on fixer freshness is the absolutely correct way to judge fix time. It's a little more complicated so I didn't put it in my video. A simple way to judge based on fixer freshness is "twice the time it takes for the film to clear." Check the film during fixing, and if it loses all cloudiness after 2 minutes, then fix for two more minutes. 3. I do not recommend putting wetting agent into the SP-445. Photo Flo is really just soap, and soap can build up even if you rinse the tank. Having soap build up might prevent developer from reaching parts of your film. This has never happened to me (and I'm not 100% sure that it actually does happen) but I've heard it from other photographers whom I respect, so I just avoid it. Fill a tray with water, add a TINY amount of Photo Flo, and then just swish each developed negative in the tray and hang it up.
Thank you so much for replying. I just received my new 4x5 camera, so I am watching your video again. and as you've instructed, I've taken the SP-445 System out of the box and am practicing with it. I plan to shoot 4 sheets of film over the next day or two and then develop with the SP-445.@@vdonovan
Thank you for making this video. beautiful shots! Do you have any recommendations on where I should look for a tin type camera / supplies? I’d love to get started myself. 🤍
That was awesome, thanks for making the video
brilliant, this was very well described, I will finally develop my films which has been sitting in the box for 5 months. I have been waiting to find someone like yourself who will take me through step by step. Thank you
Good luck! Take your time and enjoy the process.
Thanks, a joy, wonderful and refreshing not to be watching a bearded guy with OCD about every element ! Lovely images. The cyanide freaks me a bit, take care.
I've just started using a Stearman tank. It's definitely worth getting a generously sized changing bag. Mine is on the small side and by the time I have a tank and two film holder disassembled inside the bag it gets tight.
Wow!! This is beyond awesome!! This has just convinced me to take the dive into 4x5 and developing by myself!!! Thanks so much for this!!!!
Hi! What if I need to develop more films than 4? Can I reuse the developer from the first batch, or do I have to prepare a new 480ml batch for every developing set?
The developer I use in the video (Ilford's Ilfosol 3) is a one-shot developer, so you use it and dump it. Mix up another batch for your next round of 4 sheets of film.
These are so freaking cool wish wish could do an old graffiti shoot with a few
Very nice!!
Where did you find a red headlamp?
Life saver. Thank you so much!
هل يمكنني ان افهم اي شيء لو سمحتم اصدقائي
Super helpful, thank you!!
Those are beautiful 😭
Please don’t drink coffee in there… or anything I mean
My kind of girl... spiritually speaking. Beautiful work anyway. I also drink in the darkroom, but it's usually Coke. I'm just careful not to mix the poisons.
Thank you for the video. Does the water have to be at the 20 degrees as well?
Not necessarily. You don't want your wash water to be super hot or super cold, but anything close to room temperature is fine.
I like this set up and have been using it, sadly in some of my negatives i am getting the marks of the vertical plastic parts, What do you think that could be? I am mixing the chemicals to the exact measurements. Thanks in advance.
I haven’t had that problem. Always make sure that the emulsion side of the film is facing out, away from the plastic struts. You can check this by making sure the film notches are on the upper right once it’s in the holder.
19:07 I recommend doing it with one film at a time. Putting all 4 films in one may lead wet agent not doing its job. Also, for the tank, I would put only one film for each fixture.
Curious why you would put only one sheet per frame in the tank. I've watched a video made by the developer of the tank and he puts two per frame, therefore, four in each tank for developing.
Excellent video. Pleasure to watch. Thumbs up.
Extra rinsing I didn’t consider🤜🤛
Good video, I enjoyed it. I use 25 + 50 + 100 in the wash cycle,
Truly great pictures!
I am going into large format and going to be processing my own 4x5 negatives at home. I also plan this coming summer to shoot slide film, over expose it shooting the subject matter. Then using both chemicals but turning it to a negative with chemicals. I will process a few 4x5’s with nothing recorded on them so I can sandwich one of each together. I will need the orange. I will get fluorescent color with high grain. My idea is to do a series on Carnival’s. I didn’t invent this I just don’t know if the process has a name.
Just a suggestion, if loading film at night while in a dark closet wait at least 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness to ensure there is no stray light present which could slightly fog your final image.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful work, Jenny! Just one question: Aren't you a little concerned about keeping (and regularly drinking from) a coffee cup that's in such close proximity to potassium cyanide, silver nitrate, etc.? I'd be freaked out!
I agree that the first thing I change ON DRINKING IN THE DARKROOM..LOVE the video hi from Ireland..
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cool
Nice video. What type of fabric is the darkroom made out of? I'm trying to rig something up and your setup seems perfect. Have you ever heard of people using a Speed Graphic 4x5 for wet plate?
Hey Peter, I've made a darkroom myself with some sort of black plastic-y material. If you go to a store and hold up material to the light, you can tell if it's worthy of using for a darkroom. I recommend layering blackout-curtain fabric as well!
Great video, what is the preservative you are using?
Are you still doing it. I am just getting into it?
Hello, I am headed to Italy next month taking my 4x5 camera and wanted to develop some of the negatives while I was there. This video was SO helpful and practical! Thank you! I will be gathering my supplies shortly.
I reviewed the video, it looks you are a bartender shaking a cocktail. Do not put wet films together in a tray.
Very helpful. Thank you
Greetings How do I join???🌀
May I ask a question? I've not done this before and want to make sure I get it right. At approximately 11:30 in the video you say to make sure the film notches are on "the upper right", but it appears that they are actually on your upper left. Which is correct? Thanks to anyone who can answer this for me.
Hi Tom, that's a good question and I can see how what I'm doing in the video may be a little confusing. The basic idea is that you always want the emulsion side of the film facing out, away from the developing frame. When you hold up a sheet of film, the emulsion side is always facing you when the notch is at the upper right ... or bottom left. In the video, I'm sliding the film out of the bottom of the film holders and then sliding the sheets over and into the top of the SP-445 developing frames. I know the emulsion is facing me when I slide it out of the film holder, so I just go ahead and slide it right into the SP-445 developing frame, but it means that the notches, which were in the upper right in the film holder, end up on the bottom left of the SP-445 (relative to the tabs on the top) It's easier than it sounds. Practice with a few sheets of spent film (it's worth ruining some film just for this purpose) and you'll see how easy it is.
I did thousands with the "dip and dunk" method. I like your tank. Thanks.
I deeply love the timer O.O
