these are memories Man. Film lasts for centuries and they are made for sharing in a warm room with friends. Thx to your video I have gathered info for making it on my own. Consider shooting on film such as DS8 too... ;)
I've been handed an old slide projector by my grandparents, too. Previously i tended to scan them (still do for archival reasons) but viewing them projected just hits different. As you mentioned in the video, its different just viewing them with no digital "middle man". And the warmer light from the projector bulb just makes the colors pop more, which works especially well with the variochrome in my opinion. Keep up the great content. Love your stuff
This morning, I went to a yard sale and found a slide projector at a yard sale for 5$. I decided to pick it up and when I tried it out, I was stunned how beautiful the slides were. Even though I've never done any film based photography, I'm planning on buying and some of that color reversal film just because of how amazing it was
I am interested in knowing more about slide film, when projected on a clear plain wall with the curtains closed and the lights turned off, what aspect ratio are the photos displayed at.
It just depends on the Aspect Ratio of the film that has been processed and mounted. With 35mm projectors, that means it will have the same aspect ratio as 35mm film photos. There are also medium format slide projectors that can project 6x6 slides (1:1 ratio).
@@StefanWorks So when you view slide film onto a plain wall with the curtains closed and lights out, can the photos be displayed at 4:3 aspect ratio with slide film and would 35mm full frame and medium format be 4:3
Hi just found your channel, I'm learning more about photography and very interested in developing my own slide film. I like the style of your videos and happy to subscribe. Do you possibly have a list of the equipment that you're using here? I caught that you're developing with tetenal e-6 1L. What is that device that you're maintaining water temperature with for the chemicals, for instance? Thanks!
That's an Anova brand Sous-Vide. It's usually used for cooking, but in this case I use it to keep a bath of water warm. I put my chemical bottles in that water bath, and let them sit for an hour or more, so I know they come up to temperature (usually around 100°f). Then I develop according to instructions. Any E6 kit will work for self-developing, though I generally prefer the liquid kits over the powder ones. Good luck!
Great video! What camera did you use on the motor trip that you shot the velvia 50 on ? Thanks! And did you use the internal metering of the camera, external or just sunny 16?
Thank you so much for the informative video! ☺I wonder which side I mount my positive in the slide mount? The shiny side is in front of the slide mount or back? And which side goes in the projector? Thanks !
Happy to help! As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter which orientation you mount the slide... Ultimately if it's projecting upside down or mirrored, just take the entire slide out and flip it around. Also, because it's transparent, it won't matter which side the emulsion is on, the light projects through just fine in either direction.
What kind of slide projector were you using? I'm shopping around for a slide projector, but one thing I realized I want is a slide projector with a visibly satisfying transition between photos like I see here. The transitions between slides here feels so much more satisfying than some of the projectors I'm finding that will just turn dark in between slides with no visible movement
It's an older '35mm GAF Slide Projector', I couldn't tell you the exact model right now, but I think any GAF slide projectors with the vertical mounting slide carousel would have the similar effect when cycling.
If shopping for a slide projector, know that among the Kodak models there are Carousel, for consumers, and Ektagraphic,for business and profession use. The lenses sold with and for the Carousel models are some of the worst quality every made by anyone, whereas the lenses for the Ektagraphics are much better. There were third party lenses for the Carousel lens mount from Tamron, Buhl and others, They are all far superior to the Kodak projection lenses. The lenses sold with the GAF models are some of the best, but the GAF models and their derived versions under other brand names (Minolta, Nikkormat, etc.) have a fairly clumky slide change mechanism, compared to the Buttery smooth and quiet Carousels. Best compromise is probably the late model Rolleis. good mechanics and very good lenses, and no more expensive than the others.
Really nice video. I shot a positive film without knowing, now i want to project it on a wall ! I need to ask my dad if he has one of these :D Thanks for the vbideo, and really nice pictures my dude
enjoyed every second! could you please tell me the name of that magnifier you used to zoom in on your slides? Or where you got it from, that looks like the perfect size and height
Short answer is 'no'... there a are some minor exceptions, but Slide film will be specifically called 'Slide Film', 'Color Reversal Film', 'Color Positive Film', and is sold with the intention of making slides rather than color negatives.
DUDE! You're an inspiration to me, man. I'm an amateur photographer and I'm currently on the competition list for DEO Pilot. I found your instagram years ago but deleted my account and lost it and I just found it now. Your film stuff, especially your shots in the Harvard, are amazing. Hopefully I'll get a job offer soon but I was wondering, what are the rules for taking photographs while "on the job"? Do you have strict guidelines of when you can take photos or what you can take photos of?
First, let me clarify that I am by no means the authority on this subject... But as I understand, all photos you take while in a working capacity 'belong' to the CAF even if that's not your intention. That's said I don't think the CAF is going to come looking for some personal pictures you took of your friends at work, but I believe they technically could. Also, you need to be careful about photos you take or share with others as there are protected/classified materials and systems that you'll work with, and SIGNIFICANT consequences for sharing these, whether intentional or not. Another more specific pilot related rule is that use of personal electronic devices in aircraft are at the discretion of the aircraft commander... So usually the main pilot is deciding whether or not you can use a camera or cell phone during flight. Also cameras must be stowed during take-off or landing...most would argued stowed could mean well secured on a mount of some type, but that's not entirely clear. Hope this gives you some insight, let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for the support and good luck getting off the list onto the BMOQ course!
@@StefanWorks Awesome, thanks for the insight. How long did you sit on the competition list for? It's kind of exacerbated now with the quarantine on top of the regular wait but my file manager said he's optimistic.
Haha. I was on it for about 4 months. I felt good about it at the time, so I quit my job and got a one way ticket to Italy. From there I just adventured around waiting for the call... And mid-summer they called and made me the offer, and I was in St Jean by the end of August.
@@StefanWorks Oh damn! Yeah I did, I think I was the only DEO Pilot hired during COVID. Went through BMOQ Sept-Dec 2021, waiting a looong time for phase 1 which I completed this past summer. Heading to Moose Jaw for phase 2 in February.
Stoked for you! So awesome to pull positives out of the developing tank. The slide cutter is one I've found online listed as such "Matin Multiple Slide Film Cutter for 35mm 6x45 6x6 6x7 60mm".
Slide film will be sold at most camera shops (retail and online) that sell film. It will usually be listed as either 'Slide Film' or 'Color Reversal Film'. The slide cutter can be found online, places like eBay have a few, the model I'm using is a "Matin Multiple Slide Film Cutter".
When shooting a new roll, don't shoot in vertical orientation. Vertically oriented slides mixed with horizontal oriented slides make the projection presentation awkward, and will limit the projected image size.
Being an old fart I lived the times when projecting slides was common. As such pls permit me to say the following: - I find it funny what young people think when they discover film and slides. A totally different perspective than what we had. And different knowledge. - Point above, you did a good job with this video. - The Variorollei slides you present are not vintage looking. They simply look like shit and a film like that would have been classified as shit back in the day too. I really would not recommend that film to fully see what slides are capable of. Use a quality film to do the medium justice. Ofcourse, even with that shitty film the effect is "aha", but take a Fuji or the Ektachrome and it will be "wow". - those slides have a color imbalance into blue. Either the film is shitty (pff... a variable speed reversal film is nonsense, as reversal film has to be developed a a precise gamma) or your developing is to blame. (I still suspect the film.) - When showing the mounting, explain how the piece of film has to be placed in the frame. White frame is oriented to the light source. (It does so, for reflecting heat from the bulb back and not getting the film hot. This implies that which side of the film is oriented to the white frame? Emulsion or support? - Also explain that the frames go upside down into the magazine. (Although this will be obvious after the first projection, more important is the point above.) - Please stop regurgitating the story about how unforgiving reversal film is. What the heck, we have exponometers that measure ttl, it is no problem to be accurate at 1/3 stop degree. If our ancestor could do it with sunny 16, it can not be that reversal is so unforgiving. And no problem today to expose extremly accurate. - reversal film is not unforgiving in dark. Au contraire, it still shows detail where negative dont and it goes not grainy. - yes, when the contrast is extreme you have to choose, but extreme means all the day to day scenes will be no problem at all. You seldom will encounter such contrasty scenes that reversal will not manage, no point in scaring beginners. - Invest in a projection screen. Those Velvias can do better.
