Ya know what I haven't done for quite some time? A live film-developing thread! The last time I did one was in August, and I developed 40 rolls in the meantime! 😁
So, let's start - first, let me gather all the stuff I need...
Probably the second most photographed thing in #Chattanooga
I thought I knew what to expect from TMax, but this was a lot darker in the shadows than I expected. The Canon was new to me, and only has spot metering with no exposure lock. As I look at it more, I like it better. Maybe its just normal TMax behavior
New batch of negs—mix of Ilford HP5, Fuji Superia Xtra, and Kodak ColorPlus. Had never even heard of ColorPlus until I decided to pick up a roll on a whim. It's got a really warm tone and feels a bit less sharp than the Fuji—not my favorite, but was fun to try out. Looking forward to printing!
Photo shot on Ilford HP5 and (probably) developed in DD-X / 5x7 print on Ilford MGIV RC Satin. Looking to make a few more tweaks to make the contrast pop a bit more and pull some more detail out of the steam.
Yesterday, I developed a roll of Efke IR820 medium-format film that has been collecting dust in my fridge(s) since 2010. There's a thread about the process, you can check it here: https://ohai.social/@elkarrde/110362348434411504
After a day of drying and a quick scanning session, some photos turned out very thin and not that salvageable.
But the photos that turned out nicely, oh boy, aren't they gorgeous!? 😍
