11-21-2020 - Harman Titan 4x5 Pinhole Camera

Today was my very first time using my new Harman Titan 4x5 pinhole camera. I also love using Caffenol recipes for my developing process. And add to that, I love using Paterson developing tanks, and 20th Century Camera sheet film reels! It was a wonderful afternoon!

Great video. Thanks! Do you have any videos on how you set up/ use your bathroom darkroom? I’m an experienced amateur photographer but have never done wet darkroom work before and don’t want to spend a whole bunch on gear and equipment, so I’m trying to figure out a setup in a spare/ guest bathroom

If you are just developing your film, you do not need a darkroom. What you need is what is called a "dark bag", or "film changing bag". Inside of this sort of "pillow case", light-proof bag, you transfer your film roll to a film reel, that is placed inside a light-proof developing tank. The lights are never turned off. Once my film is developed, I scan it into my computer for post-processing.
If you want to print your negatives in a traditional way, you WILL need a darkroom setup. There are countless videos here on CZcams that clearly explain fill developing, scanning, and printing techniques.
Good luck!

@@BlackLabAdventures thanks. Yes, at the present time, I’m just planning to develop my film, not print it.
