I feel so dirty!

Eric Rose · Mar 22, 2015

Instead of using my trusty Gralab timer I actually used my smartphone timer. I've confessed, now I feel better.

Only if it is an iPhone. Otherwise, just some hard time in Purgatory.

I use the light meter app on my iPhone, and the timer too, for pinhole exposures. When I have a lengthy exposure for an alt print, I set either or both the gralab, and the iPhone. What's the deal? Still shooting and loving film.

LOL. I find the Massive Development Chart app (which includes an excellent timer) to be very convenient. I guess I'm going to hell, too. Probably just as well, as I imagine that's where most my friends are!

What's the advanced setting to make all the numbers go red?!

MartinP · Mar 23, 2015

That's an easy one -- just soak the phone in water dyed with red ink. Twenty-four hours should be enough. Probably.

I'm just relieved there was no stream involved this time.

But I have a hard time taking mine in the darkroom with all the potential for me to drop in something messy.

I think a good red wind would be better.

What is the smartphone about which you speak??

Eric Rose · Mar 23, 2015

I felt so bad. The darkroom is a sacred place and to defile it with (gasp) a smartphone, well that's like banging a hooker in the pews :confused: All because I was to lazy to plug in my good old Graylab. I will have to ask for forgiveness, do a spiritual cleansing of said darkroom and ask the Pryo gods for forgiveness.

On the other hand my negs turned out just dandy. Sometimes being bad feels so good.

You have made the Fire Gods angry and you will spent your eternity in a world of digital point-and-shoots.

I love the massive development chart app as well. I especially love the time/temp conversion for when I'm off by one or two degrees.

OptiKen · Mar 23, 2015

I use my iPhone timer for developing (Massive Development Chart) and for it's light meter all of the time.
Worse yet, I went out on a local lake this past Saturday with my wife and daughter and friend...I took my digital camera for it's long telephoto...birds in flight sort of shots, etc.
I also shot a roll of B&W in my Zorki 1 (love that little camera...just wish I could afford the Leica one) and a roll of color in my Autocord.
I haven't even looked at the shots taken with my digital and have little interest to.
Too busy developing and working with the negs from my 'real' cameras.

Smartphones derive their time signals from GPS satellites orbiting about 12,500 miles above the earth. This means that those satellites sit significantly enough higher in the earth's gravitational well as to make gravitational time dilation an issue. Meaning, the clocks on the satellites "tick" at different (faster) rates than the clocks in your darkroom. Because of this the transmission of time signals from the satellites must be adjusted to compensate.

Do you really trust Larry The Cable Guy to correctly solve Einstein's relativity equations for your smartphone???

:eek:
