Bushcraft Photography / Vlog #60
.
.
In this part of Topshit Photography Vlog, I went to the woodland of Kočevski rog for two days and I did some collodion glass negatives and albumen prints. My main goal was to explore the possibility of staying away from the civilisation and still do my job as a professional photographer. In July 17th – 21st, 2019, I will organise an expedition with rafts down the river Krka and then in the woodland of Kočevski rog. The idea is that we make photography as we go. We don’t need a darkroom to make prints, we can do them in a tent in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway this experience was wonderful and in the future I will do that more often for longer periods of time.

Film developers Kodak D-76 vs. Rodinal vs. FX-1 vs.Pyrocat HD
After the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, after the Matrix film triology, we finally have the triology on film developers! This vlog features two old developers, Rodinal and Kodak D-76 side by side with a new guns FX-1 and Pyrocat!
Oh, what a fortune that is! Enjoy the vlog and share your opinion on the topic, so others (me included) can learn from it. This research took way too much time and I do not know why I am always surprised on the amount of work that takes to make it through. But I’ve done it. I hope you will like it.

Film developers D-76, Rodinal, FX-1 and Pyrocat HD / Vlog 58
In this vlog I’ve mixed film developers Kodak D-76, FX-1, Pyrocat HD and Rodinal. OK, I will mix Rodinal before I will use it.
If you want to skip to exact information, here is the table of contents: D-76 or ID-11 3:30 – 6:00 FX-1 6:10 – 12:30 Pyrocat HD 12:31 – 14:52
I don’t know why I started this series and why I am digging so deeply, but with my vlogs I want to learn too, so I am curious to see how FX-1 and Pyrocat will do in comparison to my usual film developing choice D-76. I am not sure if somebody is interested in that, but if I started it, I will also finish it. Hopefully in my next vlog this will be done.
But of course, I will keep on shooting and I will learn new things.

Hospital in the middle of woodland? Topshit Photography Vlog #57
.
In this episode of Topshit Photography vlog, I’m taking you with me to my favourite place on the planet, woodland of Kočevski rog in the middle of Slovenia. I also did a film test with Hasselblad xPan, but that’s not impressive at all. The size of that bear was really impressive. Anyway I’ll develop those rolls in different developers and see what’s the difference. Expect the unexpected, because topshit happens!

Part 2 / Kodak D-76 the most famous film developer
OK, finally here is the second part of my research on the most famous developer Kodak D-76 also sold as Ilford ID-11. It took me way too much time and energy and resources, but I am happy with the results and I believe this case will shine some light and inspiration for younger generations of photographers who would like to work in analogue photography.
I’m listing the print on EBay as an auction, starting from 0,99$. Not to get payed for the work that I’ve done, but to finance the future vlogs that I have in mind. Thank you for your attention and hopefully also the bidding.

Either way, let us not forget…

How to teach children photography
.
Dear readers of my blog,
In this episode of Topshit Photography Vlog, I’m sharing with you my way of storytelling about photography. How to show in the simplest manner what is photography. Photography is a music of chemistry, physics and biology to which photographers are dancing!
Here is my vlog on paper negative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSkOjzINQAA&t=2s
If you appreciate it, share it with those who teach or are learning photography.

Paper Negative Experiment / Vlog #49
.
Dear followers,
the results from this experiment has surprised me. I’ve used old compact camera, Kodak Folding Brownie 3A and silver-gelatin paper as a negative. On the end I’ve got this amazing print that I’m also listing on eBay. I’m sorry for not containing my excitement, but I’m an artist, I’m allowed to do that. Anyway even if you are not an artist, I hope you will like this vlog. I’ve been working on it for the whole week, but I think it was worth it.
I’ve listed the print on eBay and the listing is in two options, with or without the mat. The print is in both cases the same quality.
Please share with me your experience with paper-negative and if you have some suggestions what should be the theme of my future vlogs, please share that too.
Thank you for watching and helping me spreading topshit across the world!
PS: I’ve took down the EBay listing. I’ve changed my mind, it’s not on sale.
