The picture of the woman thinking of candy turned out so gorgeous!

Love your approach to shooting strangers.

Awesome video! Thank you for the upload

Instant sub! very good content, I'll start developing B&F by myself

Nice, Sam!

Nice images!

Nice one! Got me inspired to shoot black n white again (on Fujifilm simulation) 📸 mainly to train my eye to see form more acutely.

This is fun! I’m actually about to use the same film today for a editorial shoot. Love your videos and I appreciate the inspiration sam 🍊

Overall your portraits are gorgeous! I think you really captured a precious vulnerable moment for them. To me, thats all that matters 😊

你终于也加入了我们炼金术士师的世界

I bought this kit as a Christmas gift too! Can't wait to try it out!! And I'll make a video too😊😊

B&W shooting is tricky especially outdoors in nature for reasons you mentioned about how certain colors translates to shades of gray. Once you develop a sense of being in b&w in your mind you will learn the virtues of colored lens filters to bring out tonal contrasts in nature like Red, Green, Yellow and Red filters that does wonders for your outdoor b&w images and even portraitures. The quickest way for anyone that may also have a digital camera is to use the monochrome filter features if available with an instant preview of what each filter will do for your scene.

好喜欢这个胶片，太细腻了。

上个星期刚刚冲洗了去年拍的所有胶卷，感觉还是黑白照片带给我的灵感更多，黑白照片总是有一种静默的力量感，而彩色的照片是色彩的那种跳跃感。

Nice video. I always love your photos and the way you edit your videos is so calming. I used to have a membership at the Arboretum. It's a beautiful place, especially in the spring when everything is blooming, and it's a nice place to get away from the usual busy L.A. life. I've been shooting only black and white film for a little while now, since I ran out of color and mostly because of the high prices of color. I do miss color film though, but maybe i'll grab some more color rolls sometime soon. Glad you are having fun with developing your own! It's nice to pull the roll out of the tank and see images, one of the reasons I like film. I also like your new background. I think I spot a Totoro there..hehe 😅

I started with the cinestill monobath a few years ago. Now I use hc110 and Kodak fixer. You should try pushing a roll next!

I'd love to be able to go up to people and ask to take photos, but I'm waaaayyy too reserved for that! Although being practically a medical giant I think I'd come off intimidating even if I tried! Tomorrow I'm heading out for my first portrait session with someone who isn't friend/family and I used a couple of your images in the mood board when planning because they were so inspiring

Why would the starter kit assume you would develop two rolls at first? They don’t show instructions for one roll. Should I do what you did?

I'm surprised how many people was willling for a stranger to take their picture. I usually get put on a watch list when I take a picture of birds.

haha i laugh so bad at the beginning

Ilford starter kit?? There wasn't such thing when I started photography (what was a long, long time ago), I had to jump in it hard core...

欢迎失踪人口回归！你这个体验让我想起了徕卡的Monochrome相机。。。也许贵也是有道理的😆

There are two problems with the Ilford "Starter Kit". If you understand that, and want to use the Kit, that''s fine. First, the Ilford processing chemicals. They are some of the best products Ilford offers, however in this kit they are hugely overpriced. (*they are also overpriced as stand-along products,) That can be justified if you are truly doing B&W processing for the first time and do not know if you ever will do so again. However, if you are planning to do more processing, buying chemistry through this kit is a complete rip-off. Second problem is Paterson. They manufacture and sell to the photo community the poorest quality products. In this kit, the assembled items cost more than they would over the counter, and some of them are either useless or destructive. Buy what you need, a quality tank/reel, such as AP, or stainless steel on-line, costing no more, and a kitchen digital thermometer. The rest of the crap in the kit is surplus (clips, measuring graduate) where better items are available more cheaply, or destructive (film squeegee). Give yourself a break.

如果patterson罐子不渗漏 那说明买到了假货 hhhhhh
