more city tours/photo walks! 😍
Mr JCH, please make more of these kind of video, very entertaining and well done.
Welcome back, and congratulations on your new place! Enjoyed the tour and the CineStill demo. Excited for your next video.
I'm living vicariously through your videos, can't wait to walk these streets again once travel resumes, thanks for sharing, peace from the UK.
Your influence has crossed the Pacific Ocean to this photographer's home in New York. I did indeed purchase the Cine still c41 kit. Here we go. Peace
Sweet! I’ve used my LabBox and Cinestill Df96 to develop black and white film but have been reluctant to use the LabBox to develop color film. You’ve made it look super easy and given me the confidence to give it a shot. Thanks! 🤙🏼
Not worth the hassle. Go the tempering box, sousvide and your choice of tank (I'm a Jobo fan) which you can roll in the box.
Great video Bellamy. I love how you can be in a high street and all of a sudden there is a shrine. Japan is bonkers. Thanks.
It really is!
Great video. Ironically, I just purchased a 5 roll Rollei film sampler from JCH. I did not realize it was so easy to do color. I have been limiting myself to df96 mono. Now it is time to play with the big boys. Thank you for your simple, yet classy presentation.
I'm always so impressed to see that brassing on your beautiful Leica MP-6. Nice to see the camera being used as intended rather than stored away! Great vid
Thanks for sharing the process and especially the final photos. Loved them and long for another trip to Japan. Take care!
Glad you enjoyed it!
i love how your channel is evolving and creating content , thank you! =) .
I appreciate that!
Thanks for showing us this. Seems straightforward.
Glad it was helpful!
Long time no see is an understatement
@04:01 😊. Thirty plus year ago my parents were Mister Donut franchisees with multiple locations here in Florida. I’m hoping when I’m in for the games to get to a shop for some swag. In my youth I’ve made enough doughnuts on the midnight shift I probably won’t want another. Unfortunately we’re not allowed to extend our stays past our work assignments. Hopefully I’ll see a day off to get into the city and maybe stop in your place too... fingers crossed 🤞
Nicely made video!
And congrats to the new office!
Thank you very much!
great video as always. good to see you back !
one suggestion, have you tried the Ilford Simplicity line of chemistry, as for beginners, these two would match up perfectly, the simplicity is a set of liquid chemistry, in child yoghurt containers, all you do is add water, and in they go! esp for young people, NO safety hazzards of scissors in the dark, due to the in-built 35 film cutter, nice and safe!!, also you don't have to label the containers, as two of the sachets are single shot, the 'wetting agent' is multi-use (from ilfords site, only need a couple of cap fulls); no need to mix powders, and risk splashing from multiple contacts with raw undiluted chemistry, all the hard chemistry stuff is done, just like making cordial, add solution to water, then in the lab box!
Superb video Mr Hunt!
Great tip using the sous vide! Thanks.
You are so welcome!
Great video, really enjoyable to watch and funny. Looking forward to seeing more. I'm thinking now to maybe explain more of what I like about my photos too because it made it more interesting to hear what you like about yours. 👍📸
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've got the C41 chems from Cinestill and their Df96 B&W kit as well. Luckily, I can buy the kits here in Oz. They've also just released an ECN 2 kit as well.
I like that shot in front of "grandma mama daughter" as well. Find out who that lady was and how to contact her, then get her to come back to the store to walk in front of it, again. She could be your "store muse" :D :P :P
Really enjoyed this clip, quite tempted to pick one of these "gateway" (lol) tanks up actually!
I really enjoyed this video~ been a while since I developed my film on my own, that tank box looks interesting 👍🏼 need me some gateway powders 😂
Glad it was helpful!
Great video - I am gobsmacked by your results, especially since you don´t seem to do anything to maintain the temperature during the developing process - the chems must loose temperature from 39 degrees C during the developing time in the lab box. I have always thought that even minor temperature variations from the ideal temperature would give you horrible colorshifts etc.
I use the Cinestill C41 liquid kit for developing color films, and have the chemicals in my steel Nikor drums submersed in the water, when not agitating, for fear of loosing temperature - yet my results still seem to be sketchy !
I have the Lab Box for 120 film but have only used it for B/W film since they are not so temperature dependent (or so I thought) - but have I totally misunderstood the thing about the temperature dependence of color film ??
I am tempted to try your method for my next color film, just to see what happens - perhaps I have been overcomplicating the process !!
I bet the process scenes are staged. I've always tried to be quite precise and consistent with fill-in/fill-out dev & blix times, specially when I printed RA4 -then it was essential for me to keep the film base consistent from roll to roll, otherwise I'd spend hours working a print with multiple exposures and different filtration; God bless Adobe & Epson! Now that I've gone hybrid I let VueScan and Adobe Camera Raw take care of the color balance.
I hope you went back and gave that picture to the Biryani lady, that seems like an awfully sweet thing to do.
Overall I think your images were quite good, and the way you critiqued your own work helped me look out for same kind of stuff when I go out shooting.
While developing I noticed you didn’t use any photoflo and I could see a lot of droplets of liquid stuck to your film, and I wan thinking this would leave a lot of residue spots if allowed to dry as-is. Seems like the images came out pretty clean though, which is great!
Great job, Bellamy! Recently I got into large format and developing with a jobo processor, so I will give the cinestill (starting with Df96) a go. And nice new digs!
Thank you so much for sharing your photos and your knowledge
In case you want to get some of that sweet JCH merch japancamerahunter.creator-spring.com/
Quaint and lovely photos Bellamy. Thank you for displaying Cinestill's daylight colors and capabilities. 800 speed in that daylight and with a 1/1000th shutter must have had you stopped down quite a bit.
Many thanks!
Really interesting video. What's you scanning & printing process? Also if you need to keep getting closer, use a 50mm for street photography!!
Very enjoyable video! You had to flaunt that Fuji 400H, didn't you? :) And here we thought you were a monk/hermit living only for fine cameras, and it turns out you have a family and children. Good on ya' mate!
It's difficult to make out what you're saying at times with that music
I resorted to cc.
Love the Speedmaster!
Me too. It is my daily tool watch.
Loved this video!
Great shot with the umbrella…
First time using lab box color. Have Cine Still heater and see how it goes
Hi JCH! One tip for after using the lab box. U need to open up the blade section on the 135 module to wipe the metal blade dry after developing. Or else the blade gets rusty and the rust bits can get into the developing tank!
Don’t ask how I know that...
lol, top tip. Thanks
@@japancamerahunter anytime!
Getting chems onto the cutter blade is much less likely to happen if you use 300ml of solution instead of 500ml as he's doing here (for reasons that escape me.) Also, pop off the film chamber before you put the box in the sink to rinse.
One more thing: how many times do I have to tell you noobs not to rewind the leader all the way into the cartridge? Leave the tail out and fold it over so you know it's exposed. Darn kids...
@@jlwilliams How are you supposed to know when to stop winding?
Funny, when I used to do Cibachrome prints the smell was part of the ritual as was putting the neutralizing tablets into the chemicals and hearing them fizz.
Brilliant!
Great use of the Moonwatch for timing hehe :)
Thanks! 😄
Nice speedy.
Cool video
Hi Bellamy, had an analog photography break for more than 3 years but happy to see you around. :) Thank you very much for the content. Can you tell me where I can get that sling? Best Regards from Berlin.
Glad you like it. Sorry, the strap is no longer available.
Well done man!! You do a Great Job!!
hello , like your video and web site . picture in front of grandma mma daughter is amazing well done ! can you comment about the color rendition : looks like photos are too much " purple " , is it due to the Fuji film or to the Cinestill C41 chemical ?
Awesome & Thanks :)
Welcome 😊
do they have educational dvds? asking for a friend.
You look that dude from SNL but bald
enjoyed much ! U-NO- Ur very entertaining bro.
also wow, the biking has done you well. You've lost a significant amount of weight.
Thanks. Yeah I have changed a lot.
How do you know when the Chems are the correct temp?
❤️
Thanks for the input and the video, personal opinion, probably something that has been address before but the music is too loud and distracting
Hello Bellamy, how do you dispose of the chemicals when developing colour film?
Hi, don't you wait too much after using the developper ? Regards, Fred
Is that a nikon f3 watercolor painting?
It is a Nikon F3 acrylic painting by Tim Kerr.
You are bit too hard to yourself... Very nice walk! 👍👌
I noticed there wasn’t a stabiliser stage after the Blix. Have you had any issues and I thought the stabiliser was for preserving colours over a long period of time?
I haven't noticed any issues. But it is something I will certainly keep an eye on.
I liked the video but constantly had to turn down the sound and use Closed Caption because of that loud and distracting music in the background.
Cool! Was looking at the lab box. How many times can you use the developing chemicals?
Well, we literally say it in the video if you watch it...
@@japancamerahunter did you? I did watch all of it while cooking brekky so it looks like I missed it 🤣
@@japancamerahunter but thank you for responding in a manner that I’ll have to rewatch it all over again 😑
Interesting and practical development, nice series of the shoot, just the music was a bit to immersive to listening to you ;-( , anyway great contents!
It's sad that you can't eat donuts or gyozas anymore!
I am sad
anyone told you look a bit like the Don-atello from N.Turtles?
Now that one is a first
same in china in china old men or women taking their massive lens and cameras to the park to shoot birds flowers and so on
Paging Dr. Hunt.
Too bad it is hard as fuck (and expensive) to get any C41 chemicals in Japan. I would rather self develop but when I buy C41 it turns out to be double the price after importing the C41 kits here. :(
what is that strap on the mp?
ditched the leicavit??
easier to use without it. I don't shoot enough to justify it.
Hi is there a Lab-box for 120 medium format?
Hi, the Lab box can use both 120 and 135. It has different modules for each. Thanks.
Brother do you sell the lab box?
I don't but you can get it from Ars Imago or any of their dealers.
I can feel your anger at being gluten free. I feel you, been GF since 2018 :((
Yeah, it totally sucks. I am gluten free, dairy free. The utter worst.
OH you actually take photos? All thats a revelation 😂 I was expect amazing work for some reason 🤷🏽♂ but these snaps are ok. By the way, the mixing the Cinestill is a nightmare and requires a lot of kit to get the temps right etc. I like how you totally missed that out 🤣
Yeah, thanks. Really appreciate it 🙄
need to cut the music wayyyyyy down can not hear you...
lose the music !!!!!
Interesting video ruined by overly loud music which made half of what you were saying unintelligible.
