- In this third video on the history of photography, Andrew takes us through the full process of producing a finished photograph with a modern film camera.
Not one to go for the easy route, in this video Andrew uses the rapid approach, used in the 1960s to rush photos to be printed in newspapers for breaking news items like the football results. From taking a photograph, developing the film into negatives, and enlarging this negative to the final print, Andrew shows us the whole process in his usual breakneck speed. A must watch for anyone interested in film photography.

I'm sure Oscar won't fully appreciate how special his father is until he gets older :)
Man, i wish i'd had science teachers like Szydlo.
I was lucky to have an 8th grade science teacher that was one part Andrew Syzdlo, and one part Bill Nye the science guy. Mr. Urichco. Made science class fun, so fun that my particular class did not have out of 27 students anyone below a B average. And we started each day with a segment from Bill Nye the science guys show, and an experiment everyday. It’s sad that kids have to be lucky to have teachers like that. In my entire school age life I’ve only had two teachers that are on the level of this guys Syzdlo, the other being my Culinary Arts teacher Chef. Rick. Enthusiastic teachers are hard to come by.
It's a lot harder to appreciate that which you only know. I'm sure he's heard plenty of things like this from his father as he's grown up and become accustomed too it.
When photography was chemistry, not electronics. Thank you Dr. Szydlo.
yeah, but you wouldn't have ben able to watch that vid if not for electronics
Well done, Oscar, for being such a good sport! And Szydlo when he puts on a cockney accent: love it ! And his photographs are brilliant.
I’m here after watching his Ted x talk about a year ago, since then I’ve fallen in love with chemistry and am going to college for a degree in chemical engineering. This man is an absolute genius and I can’t thank him enough for making science so intriguing.
We love Dr. Szydlo in America 🇺🇸
Thank You So Much for making this video. I am of the same age of you probably. My father (portraiture) and then me (commercial/industrial) were photographers and did film and print processing many years ago. My sons were never able to see what I had done since I needed to go into another field. With your kind submission of this video, I am now able to show them. Again, I thank you.
Awesome, My dad did proper film developing in our bathroom, brought back awesome memories. Oscar is a lucky kid to have such enthusiasm in a family member, he prob doesn’t realise this yet....but he will
It was a sentimental journey. In the 90s I also developed photos taken by myself. I really like all your UA-cam videos. I am a chemist, electronics engineer and mechanic. I am such a renaissance man. Greetings from Poland.
What's the best way to make a tincture from herbs
@33:00 Thank you Mr. Szydlo, fantastic B&W photos and composition especially the sitting Chinese children, the windmill of Toledo and the two cats!
Who else but Szydlo to keep me on the edge of my seat staring at a pitch black video and then watching film dry! ^_^
Im glad you are keeping the knowledge alive with Oscar
This isn't really knowledge that will ever be lost; it's very well documented. The issue with chemical photography is that, at small scales, it becomes very expensive to produce some of the materials (which leads to less companies doing it commercially, which reduces competition, which makes it even _more_ expensive).
Well done Andrew them photos from the 70's and 80's are fantastic.
A pleasure as always, thank you!
Andrew Szydlo is a one of a kind.
Oskar doesn't look like he particularly give a sh!t. I'll pretend he likes science like his dad. Andrew is a riot!
This was great!! I love seeing the old pieces of scientific history - books, instruments - you've gathered throughout your life. Fascinating subject and wonderful outcome. Handsome Oskar! Thank you ,Prof. Szydlo, for helping me keep my mind engaged in broadening my little library of knowledge at this point in time.
I like this Szydlo. I love the frantic Syzdlo at the University! Great videos people!
Thank you so much for sharing all your talent of demonstrating and teaching, it is amazingly engaging - and thank you too Oscar for camerawork and assisting and just enabling these videos to be made as well - and thank you RI for the playlist of it all :D
Thank you so much Professor Szydlo.
This was fascinating!!
very informative thanks Andrew, another great video from the Szydlo team, cant we just call this ...........THE ROYAL SZYDLO INSTITUTION.......
*Hasselblad's Swedish,* but often with German Zeiss lenses.
@Edward Gross A standard of excellence.
Not everything's zeiss makes is brilliant anymore and never was.
He is the best, I wish I had teachers like him :/
You do, now.
Thank you Andrew, lovely video and very helpful, cheers!
An epic revelation of photography art 😋
This takes me back to my University days and smell of the acetic acid and developer fluids.
Hehe good old Andy - didn't take long to set fire to something 😂 brilliant 🎉🎉
Can only say BRILLIANT! 🤣🤣 I definitely have much more fun watching these vids than Oscar...
This is so awesome, more please.
He’s back! Yay!
When I was a lad, it was 'Noosnstanart' (News and Standard. (Evening News))
Smart kid, he knows where to spend his spare time!
I wonder if Dr. Szydlo would like to demonstrate Lippmann process. It's an early colour photographic process that got awarded Nobel prize about 100 years ago, and is made without dye, by capturing an interference pattern, which appears as colour against a mirror backing.
What an awesome dad :D
i learnt this at school back in the 80's so much more fun than today's instant gratification
Film photography is still alive and well! There's quite a nice community around it online.
what a great man
Amazing personality! I have identical enlarger - Krokus is it? Keep rockin Sir!
That victorian image was the bomb back then.
Oscar is now a Panini sticker!
This is great he's a connection to the recent past or is it am not far off his age
5:38 - Those look like (very crudely) colourised black and white photos. There are no skin tones or colours in the background, just some flat areas of colour (using the same ink as the letters) on their shirts.
Thats what he said.
@@JohnyG29 - No, he said it they were colour photographs.
I mean by that time we had (lousy) photos from the backside of the moon and from Mars. Made, developed (however), scanned on board and then sent to earth as essentially a fax.
Football matches must have been easy.
jolly good
Yes Andrew who are we
Oscar looks bored out of his mind. Judging by the ring on his finger he’s got a special lady he’s waiting to get to, but his Dad makes him help him make the videos, and when your Dad is Andrew Syzdlo you don’t say no.
That isn't exactly colour, they have been coloured with a varnish
With the boxed image, it may be that the glass image has a reflective backing, removing it from the box may show this, and show a better image on the glass, if indeed it is on glass
oscar is 1 nerdy kid lol

- …and what I'm going to do: I'm going to select one […] because some of them are slightly out of focus…
Man, look at yourself! ;D
