Ok, looks like the Brownie of 1954 capture something. Next step: The enlarger.

Now that I completed the test run, let’s go to the darkroom and see what is coming out of this. Using a fixed 1/30 @ F15 is requiring imagination !

Black and white photo of small white flowers, taken in closeup shot (almost macro). Backgroud is dark and blurred. 3 flowers in the front are pretty much in focus with a lot of details, showing their delicate petals.

Just received them this morning. It looks like there is a ton of information in it. @pictorial-planet.bsky.social #filmphotography #darkroom

Where I will be for the next hours.

A photo of a darkroom, wet side, with only the safe light on, giving a huge red cast to the image.

I am drooling over my keyboard !

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Jul 9

This "new" one to me is fully functional and based on the CAMEROSITY system of kodak, was built in March 1954 (glass lens). While I wait for those 620 film rolls I ordered to arrive, I will perform a little cleanup. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmcamera #kodak #filmphotography

A friend of mine, in 2008. The day after her wedding she decided to do a "Trash the dress" in the ocean. Can't remember the camera, the lens and the dev process, but was shot on #Ilford Delta 400 #cayolargo #cuba #believeinfilm #filmphotography #filmisnotdead

A young woman, having her feet in the ocean, but the picture is cut at the knees, her arms behind her head that is leaning backwards, laughing. She is wearing a white wedding dress and a pair of dark sunglasses.

Another lost roll from a trip to Boston around 2003-2005. Since I was starting with film photography and darkroom processing, the quality is not always there. (even 25 years later the quality is not always there). 📷Canon EOS Rebel G 🎞️Fomapan 100 No more info about the processing.

A black and White photo of a tombstone where we can read:
" The Remains of Samuel Gray, Samuel Maverick, James Caldwell, Crispus Attucks and Patrick Carr Victims of the Boston Massacre, March 5th, 1770 were here interred by order of the Town of Boston - Here also lies buried the body of Christopher Snider Aged 12 years, died February 22nd, 1770."

Boston around 2003-2005 First time trying to do street photography. Canon EOS Rebel G, 50mm 1.8 (nothing sexy) Was not taking notes at that time, so I can't say more. #filmphotography #streetphotography #monochrome

The season has arrived ... #motorcycle

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Mar 22

Just taking a break from my normal life . Now in Costa Rica and it reminds me motorcycle season will be beginning soon after I return home.

Before I lock myself in the darkroom for all the afternoon processing films, I decided to post this quick digital shot from Portugal, 2018. When I look at it the only caption coming to my mind is "End of the road". #photography #digital #portugal #cemetery

Picture of a cemetery, with a narrow path going to the horizon, going narrower with the perspective effect. On each side of the path there are several cemetery vaults. The image is lightly desaturated with a small HDR effect.

Film processing this morning. #believeinfilm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography

The darkroom is almost finished. The sink will be installed this weekend and some few items are ordered. The windows can be totally blocked.

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Jan 19

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Jan 13

Received an order today. A little bit @ilfordphoto.com addicted. #believeinfîlm #filmisnotdead #filmphotography

Different bottles of chemicals and 35mm films standing on a shelf. All from Ilford.

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Dec 13

Unfortunately it is not the way chemicals and silver grains work. Your 1st fixing attempt removed some of this grain and If you followed the process, this negative had a stop bath and a couple of rinses/washes so now you can handle in broad light. Your options: Work on a scan or on enlarger

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Dec 11

Actually I am here: The room has been stripped, the new insulation is done, the electricity is half done. One wall is ready to be plastered. This weekend I should finalize the plumbing and the electricity and maybe closing a second wall.

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Dec 11

Some people asked me why I did not post in a while. Was busy working on the new darkroom. Remember this old post: bsky.app/profile/patr... 1st I had to sell all the tools to clean this room and be ready for transformation and it took longer than I thought:

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Oct 17

You asked for it... Here are Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola (the one in color) and Riomaggiore. All from June 2023. Even crowded by tourists, those 5 jewels (with my previous post of Monterosso al Mare) are incredibly authentic. #italy #cinqueterre #travelphotogrpahy #EastCoastKin #Scape

🇨🇦Patrick Latour📷@patricklatour· Oct 17

Maybe a bit early for #EastCoastKin #Scape but I am too happy to see Friday arriving. Monterosso al Mare, 1 of the Cinque Terre, #Italy, June 2023 Seascape? Landscape? Cityscape? Probably Somethingscape.
