LOL

I needed this wisdom today. I also appreciate the slowly unfolding visual process behind the audio reflection of this video. Subscribed.

Most provocative analysis of b&w photography I've heard yet

GREAT video. I used to take photo classes at my local CC, 20 years ago. And I got a new camera. It’s more difficult to get your film processed these days, and I know the entire set up by heart. I love your set up. Clean and simple. Definitely gonna use yours as a template!

I would need to hide the sous vide machine, or my huband would try to cook everything in it. Thank you for this demo-it makes me think I could handle this.

Love the cat distraction!!!

My sister has given me her dark room equipment... I just need to make the short trip to visit her. I will not buy anything until I see what her gift actually has in it. I may only be looking at fresh chemicals to be ready to get started. Good video here. You have a good outlook on the hobby. Easy way to do the work and have fun with it.

good ideas, thanks

That was amazing tips, thank you!

Wonders if one could make a change box.... 🤔

Awsome set up!!!!!!! 👍

Just found your channel through your home darkroom setup video; love your work and what you've got to say about the craft. Thanks for sharing your journey and your thoughts!

Given the column height of your B22 you could be using a 80mm lens and I guarantee you'll get shaper prints.

Glad I came across this thanks !

Ohhhh my. Mr Masdeu, you sir, are awesome. Thank you sooo much. I have to admit I'm going for color but you gave me a starting pad. And since I'm on Soc Sec, well, your starting pad is friendly, and kinda warm and fuzzy. :) All my love, pls be safe.

Thank you, the connection between photography and meditation is very interesting and to master this by daily practice we must put effort into🙏 Also the social media distractions are now on a daily basis, to everyone, and artist too. Greetings from Poland🇵🇱

120 film is 60mm

Nice changes there man!! That's no beginner stuff playing those ii-v changes.. Watched your darkroom setup only to checkout this.. I am impressed.. Sounds like some Jim Hall...

I want to build a darkroom at home ! I took photography back in university and I loved developing in the darkroom. I want to do one at home but I have 2 small children and I am worried about the fumes from the chemicals . Love your video .

I want to get into darkroom printing so bad, I hate scanning my negatives. I'm color blind so I can never tell if the edit is correct 🙃 would be nice to just print the photo as it was taken no computer

we need the video of your process!

Bro, as a fellow 4x5 photographer I had to stop watching at the gynocentric opening. Women are already too pedestalized in this country as it is.

Thank you for sharing your very simplistic and doable setup.

Thx for the anova solution. I didn't thought there is such a thing. After some google search I found that you can buy a regular aquarium tank heater that works the same way, but is way more cheaper.

I'm glad you mentioned the Anova sous vide gizmo. I've been using that for years now. It was a game changer for being able to develop color film at home.

I love this. I'm an experienced photographer (digital) but my father-in-law gave me a Pentax 35mm camera from about 1973. Messing around with it now and would love to be able to develop my own images. I saw other videos of dodging and burning - can't even believe that's how it was done! Thanks for the video.

Nice vid, how do you lightproof the bathroom?

Nice video. I have just restored 2 enlargers and i need to start…

Honestly astonished you got the result at 6:09 with this setup. Gorgeous photo. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I have so much more to say but I just wanted to touch base with you and your video been doing this for over 25+ years but then tragedy fell open me and I went homeless after the Army and lost my storage and ALL MY LIGHTING AND PHOTO. EQUIP. ECT ECT ESPECIALLY ALL MY ALTMAN STGE LIGTHING LIGHT FIXTURES AND CUSTOME BUILDS, ( I worked for them 25+ years ago) but recently an old photo buddy moved and gifted me her entire studio , everything cameras, enlargerner =, trays, and everything . I felt as if the spirits are giving me a chance and while looking / refreshing my noodle your the 1st vid that opened up to me , so thanks for the ideas and insight yes that's my Biz logo

So glad to see all of the people still using film and the beautiful, old classic cameras. I'm a new subscriber to you channel. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Nice one you hit the most known people on Youtub, thanks for that.

First I would like to say thank you for showing your skill, and I don't like how much you spent on your system having spent well over 1k for my system two and 1/2 Omega Enlarger(s) one for color and one for large format negatives and one for parts. The rest of the items prices have gone way up like color paper, etc. Keep doing what your doing, create , educate and share what you do...

а ещё про наши увелы типа упа,ленинград говорят древние.

Thanks for the great memories. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, I used Nikkor stainless steel tanks and reels to develop 35mm and 120 film. I used an Omega B-22XL enlarger with Rodenstock Rodagon enlarging lenses to print 16x20 inch images. Wet darkroom equipment was much higher in price then. Today, prices are very reasonable.

Good stuff! Takes me back to the 70s when I used to mess about with all this. When digital took over I never thought that film photography would continue as it has - I would like to get into all this again.

had me cracking up 😂 thought about grainydays at the last one

💖 "promo sm"

I got some red light from home Depot and then tested them in a very simple fogging test and found out that they have a configurable LED light that has a monochromatic red or at least is close enough to monochromatic that it works with ilford multigrade. So I have been doing contact prints and developing them in little takeout trays from Chinese restaurants and it actually works pretty darn well because the edges are or sunken in which allows the chemicals to get underneath and allows you to get your tongs or gloved fingers underneath it. So I've made some pretty good looking contact prints in my opinion. By the way what I've been using as a light source is actually a flash gun because any desk lamps that I have are just too bright. The flash gun is extremely easy to control the exposure on although it does not have enough fine granularity. So I can only jump in about three stop increments but it's been good enough for me.

Here's some constructive criticism: change strings often, make sure you guitar has been set up (intonated properly), tune up and play with a tuner. Some notes are out of tune when you play. Sometimes you can over-press and notes can go sharp. For whatever reason, your single notes are NOT in tune. A lot of musicians, like horn players practice with a tuner to make sure they are in fact... in tune. Lose the chorus effect, it's not relevant in 2023. Chorus mostly evokes the 1980's, and not in a good way for most people. Practice playing with a pick: up/down for the melody. If you must use your fingers, then use index and middle fingers interchangeably. Otherwise it's like running a race hopping on one leg the whole way. 99% of electric guitarists use a pick, or at least know how to use it.

I love you and miss you brother. I closed my eyes as you played and my worries went away. Just like that. Keep it going homie. Keep it going. Til that day….

Beautiful

anova machine is a must keep. you can get it as low as $60. eventually c-41/e-6 is going to raise its face. temperature control is a must for processing films and color prints. I started with cibachrome home starter kits. use market books - photographic possibilities 2nd edition by Robert Hirsch & John Valentino. a wealth of information. college/university course book. around $40, I got lucky with an unused book.

Dude you still making videos??

No doubt that BW elicits more emotion. I even find that dark, moody images that could be perceived negatively actually bring a peaceful calm feeling. It is almost like it is touching some part of my childhood when most photos were BW and all television was BW. To me, BW feels truthful and honest even though it is contrary to reality. Really interesting stuff.

I like your set up minimalistic and effective

Great video, haven't even ordered my darkroom stuff yet but I wanted to say that the production value in this video is pretty good and I think it deserves a shout.

Nicely done video! You covered everything really well!

Great vid Maurice! Hoping to set up a darkroom myself in the summer.

So many devices available to warm up your chemicals but none to cool it down. Fridge don’t count.
