You guys are the best. So many incredible supportive comments and message. Thank you. But let's stop talking about the last few months. Time to move on!
Firstly, some important links from the vid:
Stenopeika Caronte 4x5 - stenopeika.com/product/caronte-4x5
Steve Anchell's Darkroom Cookbook - routledge.com/The-Darkroom-Cookbook/Anchell/p/book/9781032404868
Dave Walker's AMAZING Possibilitorium, for the definitive instructions on how to do this process - thepossibilitorium.substack.com
Right, to business. I'm back. And this time it should be properly back, not flash in the pan, one video back. I'm enjoying my photography again, I'm making plans, I'm taking photographs, and I'm enjoying making the videos. And more importantly, I have lots planned, and more vids already filmed. So lots more to come!
I won't be promising one per week, but hopefully one every two weeks is realistic.
I am thrilled that I got back to this process, with all the work I did on it last year, and I'm getting good results on the first shoot.
But you know me... can't stand landscapes. I want to photograph people. So very soon I'll be taking this camera, this lens and this process and heading into a town centre somewhere to catch some people and do some street portraits. That's the plan.
But as a first time back, pretty chuffed with how these turned out. I think the shot of the gravestone was my favourite, just because technically it's good. The big wide shot of the fields was ok too, but lacked a focal point IMO. But let me know what you thought down below.
If you're interested in this process, there are loads of videos on my channel starting last year, where I discovered this process and did my best to perfect a technique. Go check them out!
I'll be doing a whole separate video on making the chemicals for the process very soon. Although none of the recipes are my own! But i will make sure you know where I got them from. Steve Anchell's Darkroom Cookbook is really the alt process bible, if you don't have a copt yet, then you should go get one!
Drop me a message below, tell me what you're looking forward to seeing now that we're back up and running again!
