One of these things is not like the other…😅

I also reduced my dev time by 15%. With #XTOL I didn’t really have to worry about that switching to rotation, but #HC110 seems a lot more sensitive to it based on the other negs I’ve scanned so far being super dense. It looks to me like I could have reduced it further - but it’s hard to tell given these were shots of dark mountains and bright skies. The two shots where it appears I clearly metered on the mountains look the best so far, but I am still looking forward to seeing how these scan.

I need to go take some pictures of some familiar spots with this film and developer combo to be a better benchmark. #LargeFormat #DevelopYourOwn

Second time loading went better - only dropped two sheets in the dark bag…

I keep forgetting to tag #MonochromeMarch - so here’s a few submissions that were taken and developed this month (part 2 to come via reply). I’ve gathered by context what “zine permission granted” means, so on the off chance you’d like to use any of my shots go for it!

I'm curious...do you use a stop bath when developing film? Feel free to boost for a larger sample size, but please don't feel obligated.

Yes, with a water rinse before and/or after
Yes, with no rinsing between chemicals
I rinse a bit with water to halt development and go straight to the fixer
I dump the dev and pour the fixer straight in like an absolute madlad
I convert the developer in the tank to fixer with psychic power and sheer force of will
Poll ends at .

This was a pain in the hole to load for the first time, but so far I already like it better than the Stearman Press tank…looking forward to seeing how these first 6 sheets came out. Also my first foray into HC-110 dilution B. 270 ml solution made with 8.5 ml of concentrate. Running for 10:40 at 17.9°.

My first few sheets of #TriX in the Graflex are nice and dense. Much denser off the bat compared to the Arista 100 I’ve finally finished working through. Two more exposures to go - have to wait for Sir-Leaks-A-Lot to dry out…

Two of the sheets look like I could’ve slid them further into the film holders. Will need to keep that in mind as I load some for a trip to the mountains this weekend. Planning on taking some #FP4 as well as various other films for other formats.

A tree indicated as a “treasure tree" with a tag on a local greenway. I happen to agree!
