A few more came in.
drpsilver, "Bread Castle": I love this composition! Playful uses of household stuff are so much fun.
Jord186, "Rock and Water": Looks aerial to me too! Great texture.
Oxleyroad, "Natures Lace": I think this is a great macro shot!
tezzasmall, "London Tower Bridge": I like...
I picked up a couple more cards from the PO Box:
Wayne Frederick, "Storm Surf": I can hear that wave, lovely print
Matt King, "Hangin' On": I like the results of the toning! The inconsistency fits well with the subject matter.
I have not been updating this thread, but... getting to it now!
Dan McGuire, "EST 1836": lovely depiction, I think the way the gravestones are incorporated in the foreground really complements the architecture.
mfohl, "Vertical Railing": I love the way you've taken something mundane and made...
To get to nylon you need a new extruder and... I forget if it wants a heated enclosure, but definitely an enclosure. Metal-fill filaments are mostly for the look and they'll eat your nozzle. TPU... it doesn't like bowden tube extruders. Which is a shame, it's fun stuff if you can get it to work...

Here’s a frame with the full edges of the film...
I find the grain and halation charming, but it’s not for every situation… I joke this film has astigmatism. This is 400, shot at box speed, developed D76 1+1 for I think 12 minutes? Whatever the massive dev chart told me.
In my experience 100 produces similar levels of halation but finer...
I have been obsessed with the idea since I learned about it. Dunno if it'll be my primary choice but to me Caffenol ranks up there with "I made ink from these weird things I found on an oak tree and some rusty nails" (haven't actually come across any oak galls to forage since I started looking...
Yeah, I may have to go scrounging at some of those. Unfortunately most close in to the city have gone away except Goodwill and they have a good eye for stuff to put up on their auction site.
I do know a couple of former film shooters though so I'll probably also try and ask around. Just that...
