Just ordered. Thanks! I can't wait. I want to be like you when I grow up.

I want to get the book but your checkout does only support domestic customers. Can you send it to Sweden? I sent you an email aug 6th. Global shipping cost, no problem. Great video. Is a flash meter needed as soon as the flash is pointing anywhere else but straight as the subject or placed away from the camera?

Great video and great work as always. Can you please refer me to how you self published your wonderful book. What company/ printer did you use and recommend? Thank you!

So iconic man

Awesome vid, man! Looking forward to the second part 👍💯

hey Dave! awesome video.

thats dope !!!!

Hey there Dave, wanted to say that I would love to see how you set up and use your 4x5 camera for these types of shots - can’t believe you’re committing these positive sheets of film to your shots but man do they pay off. Love your work and keep keeping on

Great Job🎉…..Can I have the name of the band?

Argh, any chance you can post a copy to the UK?

Love your stuff bud! Way to go!!!

Wow that was a slide film!

Nice work!

Thanks for the video, but i have a question. I understand you’re exposing them differently, but are you processing them differently too or just using basic processing, not accounting ting for the different exposures? I expect the latter??

Amazing vid 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Where do you get the mounting slides from?

I just developed my first roll of Ektachrome in the Bellini kit and I´m very happy with the results. They state the 1st developer time to 6:00-7:00min. I did 6 min but how would 7min affect the result? Darker? More contrast? Your videos are most inspiring!

Wonderful photos! Thanks for the video. I’m just getting into large format and this is very helpful.

😊This video is a very good for the beginner like me, thank you for your share.

Has anything extra been done to the picture "in the studio room" at 3:52? Filters due to bulb/florecent lights etc ? Lovely work and great videos. You balance perfectly with just the right amount of being professional and a nice guy at the same time!

Ah man, the image on the test film 5:23 is so perfectly lit and exposed. A whole roll with the same exposure? The only opportunity I can think of these days when a motor drive for your film camera would make sense;)

Would you recommend pushing the film with dynamic chrome if I already shot it at 100?

Amazing! The large format work is so good! Love the skateboarding

Great photos. The rest of the video is for other people.

very underrated channel. thank you.

Hey, thanks..I haven't tried it yet..But thumbs up..😮

Can this formula be done on human x Ray?

This was just great!

Thank you for the video, I recently tried the Kit and my film came out underdeveloped. But, your video makes me want to try again and hope for best.

Great video, and I am excited to look further into your channel. I wonder how you meter. You set the meter to ISO 80 and are you metering always for the mid tones? I understand that each scene requires a separate decision as far as exposure goes, favoring either shadow detail or color saturation. I'm just wondering specifically how you metered in this very well executed video. Thanks! E100 is all I shoot, freezer is full of it =)

I am pleasantly surprised to learn that some photographers still use filters for particular emulsions the correct way. Kudos to you. The 812 is just about perfect but for a little too much ' red ' hue that it exhibits. I am quite fond of 81C myself, and I even use it on digital. Sadly, the pric eof Ektachrome is all but prohibitive for most of us in the UK these days, about £28.00 or just short of $34.00 for a roll of 135. That is before processing costs are added in. I remember buying Ektachrome 100 for under £5.00 a roll in my youth. Great photography by the way.

Nice 3 bath kit. I'm looking at switching over to Cinestill E6 and replacing Tetenal E6.

Quality over quantity is the key!

What an awesome idea. Have you tried shooting wide open? Any ‘film’ flatness issues? Thanks!!

Could you tell me, is it proper to dilute only some part of the packet? Or only whole packet for 5L?

This is so awesome! I have never shot with large format film so I don't have any 4x5 film sheets. Is there something else you think I could use to mount the instax film into? I didn't know if like paper or cardstock would be the right thickness? Thanks.

The action sports photos are all really good!

I've always been partial to Fujifilm's offerings of positive film. With Provia and Velvia practically gone, there's no choice really. I find that Ektachrome is too cold. A warming filter is a must for me unless the weather/light is perfect. It's especially cold and blue when developed in the poor 3-bath kit by CineStill. It's somewhat better using Bellini's 6-bath (I haven't used Jobo's kit but it's also a 6-bath).

Have you experimented with using stock D-76 and D-76R so you can keep using the same developer many many times without losing effectiveness? You can process 128 35mm x 36 rolls with a gallon of D-76 and a gallon of D-76R

Are you still using the B reel cause I am fed up with the JOBO? What brand of tripod is used with the camera? What size of Patterson tank?

Water 750ml Metol 2g Sodium sulfite 100g Hydroquinone 5g Borax 2g Add water until 1L

Thank you from the future.

This approach is brilliant. Years ago when I shot regularly on slide film, I would use my film camera's internal light meter and the vast majority of the time, my exposures were spot on. Once in a while, they would be a little over or under. More recently, I shot some film again after a long absence. I did some testing of a second camera's light meter before the shoot but even so, I was shocked to see that my exposures were way off. And I took great care with the metering so it's quite puzzling. Bracketing my exposures didn't help either. After that, I had the idea of using a digital camera to check the exposure for my film images. Soon, I'll be shooting a test roll and I'll do some bracketing and see what the results are like.

Just revisiting this video and the awesome images. Very inspirational. It shouldn't be too long before I can shoot star trails again. I haven't done this in years. I have some Ektar 100 120 film in the fridge which expires in December. I'll be loading it into my Yashica D TLR with Yashinon lenses. I hope it will be clear skies around the next new moon. I have a super dark location planned.

The rotation mode with the Paterson Tanks has give me problems. The reels and the column stop and the result is a film not developed. So your penguins are a good idea.

Thanks for all the info. Currently my Jobo's CPE2 engine is limping and I could not find a replacement so far for it , actually I am thinking of this processor as a substitute. I have seen you fully load the tanks and I think this can be heavy duty work for a motor when it is used frequently. Could you tell me how the engine stands the test of time? Is there any chance of getting parts in case something gets broken?

I don't think I'm ready to get a large format camera, but I've really wanted to have some of those 4x5 slides so that I can look at them in a light box. I've thought about getting a pinhole camera to try large format out with and I'm tempted to do pinhole with Ektachrome. I feel like it would be a waste of the high-resolution film if the pinhole camera makes the images soft, but at the same time, my intended viewing would be on a light box.

That looks nice. Thanks for sharing!

I am using CS4, and do not have "Subtract" as an option under the layer modes. Any hint what I can use instead? Thanks.
