Post your still lifes here

Was that the slow, blue-sensitive plate? You'll probably see a lot of difference with a panchro film image of the same subject.

 

[Nokton48]

Yes it is. Lots of differences. I also shot some modern Ortho film and some panchro for comparisons. Jason says his emulsion formulations are similar to what was available about 1890.

The Beerenol still life. Photographed with a Polaroid The 800 Land Camera using Kodak Super-XX 4X5 film expired September 1980. Obviously the film was developed with Beerenol (Rainier Beer).

If Bryan wasn't from Bothell, I would be so tempted to say:


"At last we have found a use for Rainier beer!"

I suppose if it is a peaceful, relaxing photo, you use beerenol. If it is a more lively photo you would use caffenol? I wonder. If you want to create really weird photos- is there such a thing as a cannibanol?

You can say that, I don't drink that crap. I started using it for film developing because someone left a bunch of it at my house after a party. What else was I going to do with it.

macfred: Great work! and nice set-up for the shot. My eye and my experience tells me there might have been some set-up... an art in itself. If not, well sure. But if there was the shot's even better.
Thanks for sharing.

Century Graphic Trioptar on Fuji Acros NeoPan 100 (the new stuff I bought from Kumar), D-76, printed on Ilford MGRC and scanned on an Epson 750 Pro with no post, not even spotting. About 3pm on a rainy summer day, light soft with some bounce from the white wall of another shop coming into my metalworking shop known hereabouts as "the Wonder Hut," as in "Wonder what the hell went wrong this time."
