I'm amazed he gets even the poor quality results that he does. Back in the early '60s I used filtered water & long immersion tanks. Those crappy little spools are terrible, you don't get even results using them. (I could say lots more, but I won't bore you.) <br /><br />So this video really gives me mixed feelings: love what he's doing, but hate the way he's doing it!Eskymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15947922645001422523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-66916035499430600402017-03-09T19:28:03.616-08:002017-03-09T19:28:03.616-08:00I had a makeshift darkroom in my folk's house-...I had a makeshift darkroom in my folk's house- and I had just bought a set of filters for the enlarger, before I went off into the USAF. <br /><br />When I came back home 4 years later, I went up to my old room- and found that all my darkroom stuff was gone! My mother reckoned I wasn't using it, so she gave it all to a handicapped fellow down the block. Oh well, at least it did someone some good. I still wonder how those filters were going to look!<br /><br />And you're right- that sure does bring back memories.

I also can't believe he was handling those roles on a light box. I would of had them in a dark bag to keep anymore light damage at bay. I'm surprised he didn't run them through an x-ray scanner first.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
