Wet Plate Collodion – Making Tintypes Overview Video

Here is a nice little overview video showing how to make, expose, and develop a tin type. I haven’t done this yet. I really need to get off my tail and do it. This looks quite enjoyable.

Darkroom Portraits

Are you interested in building your first darkroom? Do you wonder what a real home darkroom looks like? Have you wondered if you can have a darkroom even if your space is small? Are you a digital photographer just mildly curious what all this old technology is about?

APUG has a forum topic that I visit often. It is the Darkroom Portraits discussion they’ve had. If you want to see pictures of darkrooms ranging from tiny, makeshift, bathroom based darkrooms through entry level up to darkrooms that are works of art themselves, this is where you need to go. You will be able to see how people layout and organize their darkrooms.

To see the pictures, be sure you register for APUG, the Analog Photography User Group. It is a very good photography resource. It is well worth your time to dig into photography there.

Online video showing how to develop black and white film

Here is a 4 part video in which Jason Brunner teaches how to develop black and white film.

It’s a little off-beat, but he does a good job.

Note that your choice of chemicals or procedures may vary, but this one does a good job of showing the overall process.
