Great set of videos on how to develop large format sheet film in trays

I know there are quite a few of you that visit here that have some interest in large format photography. Some are practiced in it. Others are curious about it.

Today, I found a very nice set of videos by Tom Johnston of www.tjohnstonphoto.com . It will take some time to go through all of them, but if you just get started on the first video, you’ll get an overview of what a pretty nice large format darkroom setup can be. From there, just keep going. There is some excellent advice here. Mr. Johnson deserves praise for spending this much time putting these together.

For all you digital shooters, check it out. All photography is great fun and worth doing. The resolution and control of large format are incredible.

I’ve actually used Tom Johnston’s videos here before. Check out these videos on how to load large format film holders.
