Holy contrast, Batman!

[Stephanie Brim]

I'm going to chalk this one up to me being stupid, but my negatives came out really contrasty. I know why, so I thought I'd share with you my stupidity.

I decided that I'd develop the roll of HP5 I had sitting in my tank awaiting a second by itself so that I could see how well the Minolta Scan software worked with my computer. I got everything set up, put Diafine solution A in the tank, and let it sit. Then I started scanning other negatives, found an auction for Reala, and started a blog entry. About 15 minutes later I rememebered that I had negatives in the soup.

Went and put B in, fixed, and washed. Saw the negs and they're PRISTINE...but contrasty. Going to leave them that way, too. Reminder of my stupidity. But anyway, thought I'd share. Thank GOD that Diafine is a two bath developer...I probably would have nothing usable otherwise.

And what were they saying about women and multitasking ?
It's called stand development

Hehe. Yeah. I'll have scans in about an hour or so...resizing and such right now. Interestingly enough they don't seem overdeveloped...

Like I promised, samples.

This was a lens test roll that I did. Trying to get used to the equipment I have.

As I said, they turned out rather well. I'm going to have to do this more often.

Lens test roll ? Which lens ?
The whites look a bit blown to me but that could be the scan.
Othervise it looks ok

I like the one with the two cameras.
A question are they a bit grainy or is it just me ?
Cheers Søren

I believe they were all with the Canon 50/1.8 rangefinder lens.
