Here is an online video showing how to increase contrast of negatives with selenium toning. First he talks about the advantages of using selenium toning and then gives a demonstration of toning a negative in trays. Be sure to avoid skin contact with the selenium.

Another great informative video from Tom Johnston of www.tjohnstonphoto.com

Online videos about and Jobo Processors

I’ve used Tom Johnston’s videos here before. He has come through again with a three part video on Jobo processors. As always, he has great content.

Tom’s web site is: www.tjohnstonphoto.com

The first video is an introduction to the Jobo machine, the models and serial numbers and which are best to buy. The second shows the actual use of the machine and modifications he has made for temperature control. The third shows tips for opening the Jobo tank.

Free downloadable book from Rosco

Have you ever found yourself taking video or photographs and having off colors? Do you need color correction of lighting, diffusion, or color effects?

Here is a nice little pdf download of a book from Rosco called Rosco Filter Facts. It’s only 32 pages, but it’s a great reference to lighting and to Rosco materials. This is well worth picking up whether you are a photographer or videographer.
