Well, It's been a while but I am now back in action with my 8x10. Today I shot a few test sheets of FP4 (new film for me so wanted to get familiar with it). I dev'd them in rodinal 1:100 and it looks like a very nice combo. It felt great and I can't wait to start souping negs and printing every week. There's nothing like pulling a giant neg out of the fix, what a thrill

I might print and attach one of the test shots tomorrow..

Time for the things one likes to do is SO scarce, isn't it? Looking forward to seeing some shots!

That's my favorite combo - can't wait to see what you have to show.

Great news, Sean!

Maybe it's time to set up the 24x30cm camera again - but this time of year, there's no daylight here. Just a few hours of gloom...

Good to get away from the computer screen, eh? May all your photographs be as good as your web work!

Can't wait to see some images from the Fuji lens ya got.
Good to hear that you finally have time to go out expose some film. You deserve it so much.

Sean, yep, summer is coming so get busy!

Ole, use some Efke 25 and set up a few shots, at least you can have contrast where there isn't any. Best, tim

Tim, the problem isn't lack of contrast. It's lack of light - and with Efke 25, it's sure to start raining before the exposure is finished!

I suspect some people don't know where Bergen is. Into the tunnel of darkness. Michner wrote a whole book about people escaping the long Scandinavian winter.. Caravan I think was the name of the book, but I could be misremembering.
