Making of Daguerreotype by Takashi Arai from Takashi Arai on Vimeo.

I found this video showing photographer Takashi Arai making a Daguerreotype.

This was in a discussion on APUG http://www.apug.org/forums/forum192/102298-modern-daguerreotype.html

His lab looks well equipped with a hood and wood fixtures to handle the sensitization and development process.

This particular process is hazardous and expensive but it is beautiful.

How to Test Black and White Paper for Fog… And Fix It

Here’s a video from Tom Johnston on how to test black and white paper for Fog… and Fix it. I’ve had several of his videos on this site before. Always excellent information with excellent quality.

In this video, he shows the results of his extensive tests, how he tracks his paper and his tests, how to mix chemicals to clear the fog, and how to summarize the data.

This is an excellent video to see the methods of an accomplished photographer and printer. See Tom’s photography at http://tjohnstonphoto.com/

Nikon D4 Preview

Jared Polin from FroKnowsPhoto.comgave this preview of the Nikon D4. It’s a very good preview from when he had a chance to see it at a show. He has me sold.

BTW, Polin’s site is well worth following. He has an engaging presence and seems to be genuinely passionate about what he does. He often features videos of himself with his grandma, Lil.
