As an introductory anecdote, I have to say that the extensive quarantines allowed me to decide to finally try shooting with greater dedication in analog. I am about to turn one year into this exciting process but I still make some unforgivable mistakes. In any case, I have no problem recognizing it and trying to fine-tune it along the way, but I also admit that I do not dare to post in these threads like "post your landscapes here" because my work is still not up to some things exquisite that I have seen. So for now, I am content to post some of my results here, not only as a record but also for didactic purposes and intentions.


So one of these cases is this one.

FKD 18X24 with S&K Componon 240mm
Carestream MXG
F8-10 Seconds ish
D76 1:1 3-4 minutes
Fix 1 minute

Double (or triple) exposure. Apparently the logo of the trays has been engraved while going through the development phase. A texture like human skin is also appreciated. Trying to get how the development process works, I already noticed why it´s important to agitate the trays. A short time ago I thought to agitate the trays it was a kind of "inside performance´s" photographer. Now I see I was wrong ((No oscar for me)

I only made a mistake once. I thought that I had done something wrong, but when I went to check on it, it turned out that I had been right all along.
