Cannot Over Expose?

Watched this youtube, where they claim the above

A VERY IMPORTANT TIP Large Format Photography with the Deardorff 8 by 10

Lots of babble, but obviously they got paid very well for the image

Instead of moving a piano, Laurel and Hardy decide to lug aroud a Dorff. I don't believe for a second that they got away with overexposing the film 9 stops. Probably didn't know how to correctly use a light meter to begin with. But they do seem to be fast learners, giving out advice after only two whole frames of cumulative experience. At least they had fun.

Is this the same guy perchance?

I don't know, but that is a very good exposé

Thanks for posting the evidence!

I stopped watching about 30 seconds in - couldn't stand the pseudo-techno-babble.

I watch all YT without sound, and jump ahead to see WTF

Then I might turn on the sound

not sure why he is a rip off artist. most every photograph has already been taken already there is very little that is new.
I did like the lady with the Kirby vacuum cleaner she was doing a good job and it wasn't even plugged into the sun.
I've overexposed film by 9 stops maybe 10 ... maybe he was ripping me off.

LOL

Sure enough I've exposed Tmax 400 8x10 film with the shutter speed set for f64 and then completely forgot to stop the lens down. That's seven stops over and the negative looked very dark indeed. Amazingly when contacted out the resultant positive was a little down on contrast but all the tones were there if I chose to chase after them. No depth of field of course. Not recommended.

My ad blocker is detected by YT and won't let me see certain videos, so I was saved from having to see or hear the video link in the original post.

I'd be pretty comfortable thinking every experienced LF photographer reading or posting here has at least once forgot to stop down before exposing film. So everyone knows already.

I don’t know, John, normally I’d kind of agree with you but some of those were clearly all-out copies. I’ll give him a pass on the biplane/crop duster because if you rip off a rip off it’s fine.
