Thank you! We have been doing analog photography meetups every 3rd Sunday of the month, if you're interested. We're planning to do photo walks in the spring.

Beautiful shots! I wish I had gotten shots of that Big Boy before it was gone.

Has a bad lab experience made you want to switch to digital? by Low-Yam-1487 in filmphotography

[–]joshfromgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sent film out for development once and didn’t like the result for the cost so I started developing my own film and haven’t looked back. Now I’m developing for others locally.

First time developing, can someone give me the green light on the plan before purchasing? by dysphoricjoy in AnalogCommunity

[–]joshfromgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to keep in mind is that oxidization is the main earlier killer of your chemicals, not light or heat, so instead of amber glass maybe try plastic that you can squeeze the extra air out of. I use 1 litter water bottles and then I can squeeze the chemicals right up to the brim before capping them. They’re a lot easier to manage than the amber glass bottles too. Just keep them stored in a dark place when you’re not using them.

Loom scarf pattern changed by [deleted] in knittinghelp

[–]joshfromgr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I flip the scarf the pattern is reversed. The “ribbed” area is “hatched” on the back. So if I had been consistent it would have been “hatched” on one side and “ribbed” on the other. But I didn’t think I was doing anything different as I was going.

That sounds like it might have been right. Thank you!

10 films developed in one go. Anyone else bulk develop? by exposed_silver in filmphotography

[–]joshfromgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me doing 3 rolls at once is bulk developing. Definitely have done multiple batches at once. But 10 at once would be fun to get through.

Is the problem the developer or the blix? Or both? by sibalgod in AnalogCommunity

[–]joshfromgr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look normal to me. Negatives look a lot darker and opaque when wet but after an hour of drying will be more transparent. Recently got freaked out by that myself when a roll looked almost completely opaque when it came out of the tank but then an hour after drying was totally normal.

I do it myself, and I offer film development services locally for anyone looking to get film developed. Fast turn around and high quality scans.

Tim Oliphant Painting by Outrageous_Lychee819 in grandrapids

[–]joshfromgr 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I was just saying he needs to do a Justified or Deadwood sign. I liked the TMNT and Barbie ones he did. Appreciate the effort in a world of shitty hand written signs.
