Attempted positive scans of negative film developed with a homemade developer.
-+-+-+-
These were developed in a very simple ascorbic acid, sodium carbonate, and poke berry juice developer. Unfortunately as the film dried it darkened beyond the capabilities of the transparency unit of the scanner and required an external light source. I speculate that there was silver remaining on the film that stayed due to the phenols in the poke berry, despite an extended fix, and thats why the film continued to darken.
The final frame was included because it looks cool.
