Thank you and greetings from Switzerland 🖖🙂

Great vid! Question, do you drop your ND filters on top of/in to the same filter slot as your multi grade filters?

[inkaststudio]

Planning on printing my first BW print. This video was very helpful. Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏾

[MikeyMopar]

Always learning something watching your videos no matter the topic. Ordering up some ND filters tonight. I'm always closing down the lens a few stops to get longer exposure times. Thanks.

[MusicAndPhotosbyPablo]

Great video! Definitely a different ball game from just developing and scanning, but super compelling to try!

[juliafalchetta]

Helpful thank you! I am slowly gathering my darkroom supplies for color printing and bw printing! The tips in the videos will definitely help! And I’m going to take a look at your mini course thank you!

[lillianvalentine]

Haha, same. Notebooks with notes but can’t remember what negatives they go with. Great video!

[michaelb]

Really have to get back into the darkroom, .

[simon.revill]

Really informative videos and nice to watch. One question, how do you judge how long the paper is in the developer for? Is it just by eye? For example, 14 secs under the enlarger could produce quite different results depending on how long it is in the developer tray?

[pdjdw]

Did I miss it ? Or did you tell the color filters in you color enlarger can be used as ND filters. Even though most older enlarger filters have some fading.
But if you set the filters to equal numbers, combined they act as an ND filter. That’s just if you don’t have ND filters.
Very well done!

Which olympus rangefinder do you have? I was just singing the praises of the 35dc to my coworker this morning because I just got back five rolls of color film I shot on vacation and all 180 frames were perfectly exposed. I love that thing!

[TristanColgate]

I signed up, purely for the log sheet :) But I've been a huge fan of your printing videos so getting a course thrown in is great. One thing, maybe provide the logbook as a straight PDF download (with a4, and whatever you folk over the other side of the atlantic use?), canva made me want to throw my monitor out the window.
