back to the childhood

Every summer I travel to places where I spent my childhood. And sometimes I’m allowed to take pictures of my current childhood. I would ask the father of the little boy in the water to write to me so that I can send him a photo in better resolution…. 🙃🎞📷

Variations with Pyro Plus…

I’ve been tuning the PYRO Plus positive developer this week. By adding a certain amount of pyrogallol at the expense of pyrocatechin. With some combinations of these two developing agents, toning of photographs is no longer necessary . However, the papers must be placed in the bowl with the sensitive layer facing up. Otherwise, you may see streaks from the ribbing on the bottom of the bowl in your photos🙃📷🙏

mistake….

I must have been tired or thinking about something else… In short, when developing one 120 negative, I used the same amount of developer as when developing 35mm film (right before that I developed three 35mm films). So it was low of developer in the development tank. Thanks to this, the resulting image was divided into a well developed part and a poorly developed part. I angrily crumpled the wet negative and threw it in the ash bucket. The next day I took the crumpled negative out of the bucket and put it under the glass in the scanner…. I got even more mad at myself. They could have been beautiful photos 🙃🎞📷

ortho Misha…

The day before yesterday, based on a discussion about the use of orthographic material, I decided to make it easier for a colleague whether to use these materials for portrait photography as well. Shooting on this material without using filters makes no sense. So if you want to use orthographic materials for portraits, you will definitely appreciate the use of yellow filters. The images will be beautifully contrasted from the whole range of black colors to brilliant white…
