Hi
I was trying out the wonders of Caffenol but with failure as a result.
Can someone tell me where I did wrong?
Here is the details:
The negs came out VERY thin. All I could see in the film was a few highlights. The start of the film, which is exposed when loading and unloading the camera, was not black (as it was supposed to be) but light grey.
The film was, as I see it, heavily underdeveloped.
Please tell me where I went wrong....
Greetings Morten
PS.: I guess it's the punishment for messing 'round with other stuff than Hot Rod.
