Is this print for sale?
  1. Yes
For this picture/film: dilution 1+50 at 20°C for 9 minutes (I have checked my notes) but with reduced agitation (converting of the developing tank). Destiled water used for dilution and also as a stop bath.

I used Czech developer produced by FOMA - Fomadon R09 - it is almost identical with Rodinal but less concentrated (about 80% strong of Rodinal).

Thank you :smile:
 
@John Galt I had to shoot on 50 ISO because of high amount of light - (example: Mamiyas fastest time is 1/400 and lightmeter for default FP4+ sensitivity 125 ISO shows 1/1000 - so I shoot at 1/400 --> shorter time for developing negative film - I developed this film for 9minutes (ISO50) instead of 18minutes(ISO125)) - pull process (opposite from pushing).

Is it OK or anything wrong?
 
Great comp.
The only thing I find a bit off is the story.
A girl like that, on a wall like that, with a book that big! No freaking way man!
Keep it up.
 
A good shot and without the book and taken in say strong street light at night or even as as in daylight "americaine nuit" the whole scene would have a "film noir" feel about it or a Paris "left bank look about it .
 
Very good shot, well composed. Your previous one is also very good, Paulina seems a very interesting model !

BTW, you teached me the fact Fomadon R09 is less concentrated than original Rodinal.... I was using it for processing time as a par replacement for Rodinal ! Hence some identical times in the Massive Dev Chart.
