Just this last week I had 27 cheap prints made of some of my favorite recent images, and can’t say enough how magical it was to see my work in a physical format. Seeing it on a screen is impressive enough, but seeing it on paper was magical. It gave me that feeling of “WOAH. I made THIS?” and that gave me so much more confidence about the quality of my work and built my desire to keep shooting.

I really believe film was meant to be enlarged, not scanned. Specially some b&w film that scan terribly but when enlarged it's amazing. Hope this video works as an incentive to bring more people to the darkroom! Oh, I prefer the greener northern lights image and the one with a more neutral tonality of the "white lines" :) Thanks for this video, very nice!

Thank you for this, you are one of the few people showing how to do your own darkroom prints currently. Like your style please keep doing what you're doing...

Just when I thought such a long process for some pictures , and then I see the pictures amazing and the feeling you get after must be something

I used to use an Epson ET-2550 kzfaq.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

Beautiful stuff! Should be starting my color prints by the end of the week. Been a pleasure to see all your results from what looks like an incredible trip.

Great to see the final images, see you did end up with some from the trip. I do love the first you shown, the minimalistic one but the dog sled team is my favourite.

That 5:45 print is beaut. Love that clean minimalism.

Never thought I'd find ASMR in a dark room printing video 😅 Good stuff 😉

Awesome. Loved the silent printing, and some stunning images. The dogs and Aurora were the two for me.

prints came out good man. i the first print. i like the magenta one better. great work man.

Love the stripped back edit man, reminded me of being in the darkroom. Well done on capturing the northern lights too!

The dogsled photo is just amazing! Really liked your photos from Sweden :)

That Northern Lights print is fire!

Amazing! I'm so glad youtube suggested me this video today. Love your channel.

Magical ! Great work.

Awesome pictures

Film in my opinion looks better as a physical print as that was and still is the true way to enjoy pictures. Whether you’re shooting consumer films or professional films, prints are the way to go

Hard to tell which I like more as well. Was thinking before you showed both that I liked how much magenta was in the print. Nice to have options! As an aside, glad to see more videos from you printing color. I've got RA-4 supplies sitting in my cart on freestyle right now until I can find a developing tube at a decent price and watching more of this is just getting me more excited to get started.

I find doing bw printing in the darkroom hard enough, must be a real challenge doing color 🤯

Awesome shots, awesome prints. Happy for you!

Excellent stuff. Great final prints!

the process, the images, beautiful. keep it up man

Is there any particular reason for developing your prints in the can as opposed to a tray? I suppose the can lets you turn on the lights earlier in the process?

Shot at 5:50 is crazy. I'm looking to start developing/printing at home. Shooting a lot more film this year and honestly, it's an expensive hobby. Can you ID/link some (or all) of the equipment you're using?

Very cool stuff man. Hopefully I get the space for this in the future 🤞

Keep up the good work. Am into film development I mainly do black and white. Am hoping to get back into it when I move house

Gorgeous prints bro!

is this fuji chrystal archive type II or something else?

Fire prints! 🔥

Prints came out well 🙂

Excellent!

What do you use for photo enlargement? My papa left me his old cameras when he passed away and I want to learn how to use them and print my own photos!

what camera you used to take these pictures , they look beautiful ?

With scanning, I swear you could shoot most any color film stock, scan it into photoshop and edit it to look like Portra. People literally do this with digital cameras so what the point anymore? I feel like the only way to be a purist is to develop the negatives in the darkroom and then scan the image and edit to match cause otherwise there is nothingness to keep your editing within the parameters of the film itself. Does this make sense?

This is so cool! Thank you for the video! Could you please share how much did the darkroom enlarger/magnifier cost for you?🙏

¡Maestro en el darkroom!

Great shots man! What film did you use to shot Aurora?

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ballsy to go without music or speaking. But it worked!

Hi! What kind of paper did you use?

Nice! :)

awesome

What camera u using

bellissime foto

I’m v jelly. Can’t get ra4 chemicals nor paper here

Super stuff. But please don't tap your negatives with the point of a pair of scissors anymore.... it made me cringe.

Who is this person?

There is almost NOWHERE in the world that you can get colour lab prints - THAT MATTERS!!!!

Can you recommend a company that does quality prints. I was let down by a few different companies lately when it came to print quality and coloring. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.
