Backyard X-ray Test 1

nice tonal range....seems to lack the usual graininess of x-ray film...what brand and iso is it?

Thanks, Miles. It is from CXSOnline, high speed blue 8x10, which I cut down to 4x5. I meterd these at ASA 100. I started my testing with ASA 25 and moved up until I got reproducible results under a range of conditions. I am using Diafine to develop, so when I move back to my "regular" developer (Microdol-X) I will probably from back to ASA 75 and start there.

That is such a tactile image. The texture is jumping off the page! Great results with this film. Nice job!

WOW! nice. i got some green and blue x ray film i will begin to use next week! thanks for the inspiration.

Real nice image - the whole thing is working well.

I use this same film myself. Your image is rich in tonality. I like it. Although it is hard to tell with this subject material..are you having any issues with film scratching?

Thanks for the good comments. The rocks are algae covered rock in a waterfall in the back yard and they alway go to black because the surface of them is like felt and reflects very little except where the water is moving over them and they are shiny. The other image shows a much greater range of midtones.
