About This Video
I am starting a series of long exposure videos working with various films and cameras. It's always been a grey area to me shooting long exposures on film mainly trying to figure out the reciprocity failure of the film and getting the best exposure on the negative.
With digital it's easy. You can see what you are achieving. But with film, you can't!
If anything these videos are going to help me understand more about film reciprocity failure and hopefully will be of interest to others too.
For this video I researched the failure for the Kodak T-MAX 100 film and read that 1 second and over of metered time just ad half a stop exposure time. In this case my metered exposure was 4 seconds. So I exposed the film for 6 seconds.
Here is some information I found online for this film -
www.seeinglight.com/reciprocit...
ABOUT MY VIDEOS
If my videos inspire, create ideas and help others in film photography and darkroom work then it's worth making them.
I always welcome comments that are useful towards the video subject that will help others understand the process within.
Keep shooting and thanks for watching.

Nice storytelling. A thing that reminded me of old darkroom days was when you dropped the print on the selenium toner. Try this one: hold the paper in one edge, next to the chemicals tray, higher, and make an angle to the liquid surface. Imagine a letterbox opening that the paper has to go through, without hitting the tray bottom. The paper goes under in one swift movement: no need to push it under and chemicals start to work right away.

Lucky you on the film hauls! The ADOX film can, apparently, be developed in developers other than what ADOX state is needed but the results will not be exactly as ADOX would intend. I have a roll of ADOX Silmermax 100...waiting for a special occasion to use it. The ADOX CMS20 stuff is supposed to be 800lines p\mm...finest grain film ever, apparently, but very slow at ISO20 . Perfect for long exposures like these! That toner looks like a very worthwhile thing. This is the second video you've shown that working, and they end results do look good.

Does your Zeiss folder have a filter thread on the front of the lens? If it does you can get a cheap filter thread step up ring on E Bay. If it doesn't, like a lot of old folders didn't. This is what I did. Old folders without filter threads used "push on" filters. You can sometimes find old push on filters on E bay . Trouble is they're usually old and scratched to hell. Anyway if you can find the right sized push on filter that's scratched, clobber it with a hammer and smash the glass out. The front of the filter ring will have a thread. Buy the appropriate sized step up ring for your usual filters.

Very entertaining video Roger! Sorry for the year-late comment. I have always wondered what the difference is between split grading and one-shot grading of exposure under the enlarger. I know the concept, and print using MG and separate filtration for the dodges and burns but have not used split single exposures. It isn't the same as combined exposure I take it. I wonder if you could give a demonstration of the difference? I find your videos inspirational and am getting back to the darkroom with newfound enthusiasm. Love the antique cameras which I have as well and enjoy using. Thank you.

Hey Roger, great print. I have Just a quick remark on the presoak: with 120 film it helps to eliminate the dye of the antihalo but it also swell the emulsion. Consequence of this is that development has more effective. Of course it depends on the film and on the presoaking time. But I’ve read about a sensitometry test of a presoaked film vs non presoaked. Densities on the presoaked film were higher...resulting on slightly higher contrast. Is it an issue? No absolutely because you can compensate with the development time 💪🏻. I use to presoak my film with 20degrees water only to bring film and tank to temperature 😜

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

Interesting Gianni! So prewash can increase contrast and grain presumably?

@giannidigirolamo8868 5 жыл бұрын

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss hey Roger, it's a very subtle difference but there is both on grain's shape and film contrast. As prewash soak and swells the emulsion, chemicals will act faster on the inner layers of the emulsion with a result of a slight increase of the higher densities, but it's not true for all film. In the test I saw, tmax contrast increased a little while fomapan no. (blog.analogica.it/analogica-it/2014/09/la-tecnica-del-prebagno-un-piccolo-test/) it's in Italian but you can translate it with google ;). Who did the test is one of biggest analog guy in Italy I did a workshop with him and it's a trusty source ;) Moreover long prewash could affect grain's shape making it fluffier and not keen. Of course I'm talking about 10 minutes of prewash which is a very long time. I usually do prewash when tank and film temperature may affect chemical temperature so I prewash for 1 minute even less with water 20° in order to bring everything to the developing temperature and that's all. Of course this can be seen only with big prints when the grain's shape is much evident. Ansel Adams moreover recommends in his book to slightly reduce the developing time when you prewash for long time but tests are necessary. ;)

Another superb video and your digital shots are the beginning were gorgeous Roger. Some wonderful minimalistic shots as was the image you developed. The reciprocity rule and I don’t get on at all, we are mortal enemies and I’ve decided, or had decided to leave long exposures to my digital photography. But you’ve inspired me to give it another try. I have an app that gives me times called surprisingly the Reciprocity Rule app. I think it was a freebie, but it gives you all the different times for different films with different base shutter speeds. I have only tried it with 35mm film though and I don’t know if the film size impacts in any way. You certainly did a better job and got better results than I have ever had. If I’m honest your darkroom skills are far superior to mine and your final result was great. The video whilst you were out looked great to me, especially considering the weather and low light. But maybe people who know more about video than me (that's everyone) might have noticed something I hadn’t. I’m using TMax 100 for my analogue 365 project, I’ve not used it in years but it was the only film I had 11 rolls in the fridge to cover the entire year. It’s already gone wrong though because I've somehow taken 5 images and it’s only the 4th January. All that’s left is to wish you the happiest of New Years and better health, and thank you for all the great videos in 2018.

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks Mark! Ilford have a good calculator for reciprocity failure for their films. Very easy to understand. I'm not sure of the technical or scientific reason for the failure but I liken it to coffee. Digital being instant and film being filter. It just takes longer to make! ☕ Good luck with the 365 project. Where can we see the images?

@markharris5771 5 жыл бұрын

Shoot Film Like a Boss I totally agree with the coffee analogy,min fact that’s one of the best I’ve heard. I like my digital cameras for working tethered in a studio and shooting wildlife because of the FPS free of charge. I also tend to use digital with filters. The rest of the time my heart belongs to film. I don't normally post anything online due to my health and not getting on with platforms like Instagram. I also give all my digital prints to a charity for them to sell and my analogue stuff is usually family stuff. But I might pick out the best of the images and post them somewhere. At the moment though I can’t get the out and can’t even dress most days so we have an image of a chaffinch from the kitchen window, a frozen bird bath, a cat and the wife pulling a funny face. Hardly the decisive moment HCB was talking about, but I still want to shoot something so I can say I've done one. There’s a good chance I will have to give up work altogether soon because I am getting worse, so things might change. I'll email you the best of the year next January, but remind me I said it.

Yeah the harder you agitate the more grain you will introduce. I've only agitated hard when pushing film for gritty Street photography. But I may have to do a agitation test to be sure about it 😏

Great video, mate, and good to hear the cold let go. I was wondering how you seal your door in your shed? I have a light tight curtain that i glued velcro to. It worked like a charm until the glue let go. Im thinking maybe doing a zipper system? How do you do it?

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

I use black plastic membrane that builders use. My door is covered in it and also the framework. When the door closes it seals. I'll show you on my next video 👍

Welcome to Roger! It's good to see you again! Slowly, slowly, I come into "analog Photoshop". Is it important that you put the Multigrade filter over the negative, in the holder, or just under your current video? I have an old AXOMAT machine, it does not hold it. Welcome to Tamás.

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Tamas. You can put contrast filters above the negative (under the bulb) or below the lens. I've had no issues under the lens.

@tamaspetruska5817 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you Roger. Then there will be no problem. You will have to experiment with how much you need to increase exposure time! In AXOMAT only max. Use a 75W bulb. Thank you and nice evening. Thomas

@@ShootFilmLikeaBoss I agree Roger you will dig pinhole. You have infinite focus and long exposure, so you can get extremely close to those rocks and they, as well as the background, will be in focus. A 6x6 120 format pinhole would be a great start. Then in 6 months you will be building an 8x10 pinhole camera that shoots on photo paper :)

What do you DO with all those 10x8" prints you do -- they are too small for 'Exhibition Prints' or Camera Club 'Advanced Photographers Group' ? You must have box fulls ! My Ex-wives wanted me to DUMP all my boxes of Prints now that magazines want only 'Digital Files' --- so I usually do 16x12" Exhibition size . By the way -- I tried Videoing in my darkroom for my channel but the Canon Video camera was not sensitive enough so i cannot Video any ' Darkroom Printing' as you do . I have also tried 'Selenium Toner' -- stinky stuff -- had to do it outside or yet another Divorce !

@ShootFilmLikeaBoss 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Paul. You'll get results from any black and white developer. But certain films work best with certain developers. If you go to a store online, look up what developers they sell and read the details you'll get a good idea what each developer is designed for. I used Kodak XTOL here. I like XTOL and often get good results across a wide range of films. But sometimes I'll choose a certain developer to suit the look I'm after. It's all trial and error and finding what developer and what dilution works best for you. But jump on those stores and have a read.
